My favorite herb is garlic, almost certainly the most versatile herb in the bunch (with thyme being a close second). My favorite spice is cumin, again for its versatility. Earthy, warm and useful in nearly every savory application. read more

My favorite spice blend is called za'atar. It's a blend of a wild herb that's related to thyme, toasted sesame seeds, and lemony sumac. I use it as a condiment, sprinkling it generously over warm olives, feta cheese, roasted chicken, baked crisp pitas, flatbreads, and thick yogurt. The mix of toasty and herbal flavors enhances these simple foods. read more
