Spices

This collection of recipes celebrates the kind of bold, comforting, and aromatic ground and whole spices that can bring everything from cozy drinks to savory favorites to life.

Ground spices, for instance, are great for adding instant flavor – think cinnamon in baked goods or turmeric in golden lattes. You’ll also find dishes with lesser-known spices like sumac.

Whole spices, on the other hand, infuse deeper, more layered flavor over time, such as adding gentle warmth to mulled apple cider as it simmers on the stove, steeping spiced rooibos chai tea, and so on. If you love cooking with flavor and a little flair, these warming spice recipes will feel right at home in your kitchen.
