What is your favorite spice to use in cooking?
I like Tirmeric. My mom used to cook with it when she made curry. It has a lot of heath benefits, even though you can
Turmeric is amazing! I also love cinnamon because it can be used in both savory and sweet dishes. Ginger too. 
Well, Cinnamon does sound like Sinnerman, so deserts make sense. I like when they use it to flavor alcohol. But what savory dishes do you use it in?
Tagine, curries, north african cooking in general
I find that there is something of a shortage of North African restaurants here in nyc. There is one Moroccan and one Egytian place nearby, but thats it. I think its a cuisine ripe to be popularized.
I totally agree. Where I live (US South) there are zero North African restaurants
Have you ever thought of turning your amateur chef experience into something professional?
I think about it all the time. But I'm worried I will lose my love for cooking if it's also how I pay the bills
I guess thats a risk. But if you love something it may not feel like work.
That's a good point. What is your passion? Do you use it in your profession?
