some spices don't scale, it's not a mathematical progression, it's a geometric progression. you have to learn which is which, then you can start cooking smaller amounts. fresh black pepper is a for instance, an 1/8th of a teaspoon is enough for a single portion, quadruple the portions, but only double the black pepper. tumeric, allspice, nutmeg are all like that, and others, to varying degree.
tell her to experiment, just wait till she leaves to throw the stuff away. till she starts getting it right.

There's never enough black pepper.

I don't mind garlic, we use a lot too.

Cilantro

This is a dinner bust. If I taste it I will not eat it.

i hate the smell of it, but it doesn't taste that bad. i don't use it a lot because i have to smell it to get it into whatever i want it in....

The news: An aversion to cilantro is in your genes, a realization scientists came to after thousands of people started having their DNA analyzed by consumer genetics company 23andMe (when the process was still legal). To approximately 10% of those who got tested, cilantro tastes like soap

The only thing I can say NEEDS cilantro is salsa. Otherwise, fuck that shit, and coriander, it's bastard offspring, fuck that too. And capers, fuck capers also, its the only thing I will violently spit out of my mouth if I taste them. I still remember the first tine I had them, it was in a plate of shrimp fra diavlo in a tomato cream sauce. I thought there was mouse shit in it. The restaurant graciously offered me another dish, so I got a different shrimp entree, which also had capers in it. That's when I figured it all out. The restaurant gave me yet another entree, this time without capers. Perfect! I've retried them occasionally over the years and its always the same, makes me nauseous.

 

[Fubard]

You don't like coriander?

Heathen

I swore a bunch as a kid, I learned the hard way what ivory bar soap tasted like.

Corianderis like eating flowers, and not the good kind..
