When it comes to spices, a little goes a long way. Use too much and you may overpower—rather than enhance—the food’s natural flavors. Remember this simple rule of thumb: No more than 1/4 teaspoon of dried spice or 3/4 teaspoon of fresh spices per pound of other ingredients. Whole spices need to go in to a dish about an hour before it’s done cooking, but wait until there’s just 15 minutes before the end of cooking to use ground spices.
