Begin with a single spice
Ground cumin lets you record its quantity separately from the other spices in a dish. Keep the rest of the recipe unchanged when comparing results. If you later use a blend, do not assume it contains the same proportion of cumin.
The next dish starts in your notes
Write down the number of servings, amount added and point at which you added it. Keep those details with the packet’s name. Ras el-Hanout offers another approach: an already composed blend to explore on its own terms.
