Interested in learning more about spices? This club will feature a different spice each month. Participants will be given a sample of the featured spice, a brief history of its use, and a recipe that incorporates it. We will not actually meet - this is simply an opportunity to be introduced to a new spice, or possibly a new way of using it.
