Curry Powder
Curry powder is a blend comprised of spices native to India. In truth, India's vastly varied regional cuisine has given rise to countless such blends, called masalas.

Curry powder is used prominently in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Caribbean cuisines.

Coriander
Strange as it may seem, coriander, which is considered a spice, comes from the cilantro plant, which is used as an herb. Stranger still, coriander has a sweet, clean, herbal fragrance that in no way resembles cilantro. Coriander is used in the Indian spice blend called garam masala, and is often used in chutneys and curries. It is also a popular addition to Middle Eastern and certain Asian cuisines. Coriander works well in dishes that employ citrus juice or zest, such as salads or fish dishes.

Cinnamon
Warming and fragrant, cinnamon is one of the world's oldest known spices. In the US, its scent is so associated with comfort, that home sellers are advised to bake something with cinnamon during open houses. Americans and Europeans use cinnamon most often in sweets, baked goods, teas, hot cocoa and coffees. But in India, North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Caribbean regions, cinnamon is used in savory dishes as well. Try cinnamon in vegetables, stews and rice dishes.

Black Pepper
Pepper is one of the most ubiquitous spices in the world, and black pepper is perhaps the most commonly used variety. Though pepper hails from India, and grows only in hot climates, it was so highly prized by ancient spice traders that it now features in virtually every cuisine. To showcase pepper's pungent bite, try using it to encrust steak, salmon, or goat cheese, or use it generously in vinaigrettes. For best flavor, skip the pre-ground pepper, and invest in a pepper grinder.

This recipe for Golden Beet Salad With Ginger and Garlic Scape Dressing is very adaptable. Golden beets have a milder flavor than red beets, but both work beautifully in this beet salad. Or, substitute other varieties of beet, like candy-stripped (Chioggia) beets. Garlic scapes, the curly flowering tops found on some varieties of garlic, are a seasonal treat in certain growing regions. If you can't find them, you can substitute green garlic, or leave them out - the salad is still great!
