Well! I'm not a chef and it just so happens that there are some professional chefs who say that there are certain ready-made spice blends that are excellent! Chefs and cooks should use them; especially, if you want to try new dishes and different types of cuisines from around the world. The Huff Post article lists several spice blends. I have tried some of these spice blends and I AGREE. For some I have tried the blend, but not the particular brand that was recommended. Nevertheless, I can tell you that these ready-made spice blendsmy definitely take your dish up a notch! 1. Advieh Persian Spice Blend (cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, coriander and rose petals) 2. Chinese Five-Spice Blend (cinnamon, fennel seed, star anise, cloves and peppercorns) 3. Creole Seasoning (onion, celery and bell pepper, and garlic) 4.
