In October 2025, many of us will be taking part in theĀ 30-Day Kitchen Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will spotlight an appliance, utensil, or gadget found in a commercial or residential kitchen. The tools and devices used to prepare and cook food is quite extensive and this month we will take a look at both the sublime and ridiculous. My post today is focused on SPICES.
Two items found in nearly every household and commercial kitchen are salt and pepper. Beyond those essentials, there are countless other spicesāmost culinary experts agree the number easily exceeds 100. That abundance is why many kitchens feature a spice rack to keep their seasonings organized and within easy reach.
