Welcome to my little corner of culinary delights. There is a lot I can teach you on creating your own recipes, but not everyone would find this interesting. I must have self-control and make this my last article on this subject.
With your milder forms of primary foods, there is a real need to lift their flavor. Whereas herbs and spices need to be used sparingly in one instant and yet may need to be strong in another. If you have paid a lot of money for a porterhouse steak and it is done to perfection, you would not want to hide its natural flavors under a lot of seasonings.
On the other hand, if you have a hamburger, you might want to smother it with salt, ketchup, mustard, onion and pickle slices. By the same token, making chili with hamburger, you might want a lot of seasons including strong chili powder and hot sauce. Don’t forget the beer and crackers. If you make beef stroganoff, again you would want to be easy on the seasonings. You would follow this format for any entrée you decide to create.
