Excellent overview. Thanks for the valuable information.
Thanks, LeAnne for sending me such a nice note. I appreciate knowing it’s helpful. Cheers, Caroline
Excellent video! I've started experimenting more with herbs and spices since starting the Mediterranean Diet two months ago. I didn't know I liked mint, parsley, and sumac! My favorite spice blend is homemade dukkah. Love your channel. ❤
Oh, me too.... originally I planned to include dukkah in the video and felt it was just strating to feel al bit long or overwhelmed with info or both! But you are so right, that nutty spicy combo is a easy go to flavor boost. Thanks for mentioning it in the comments! Cheers, Caroline
Another, awesome video. 2 years ago, i started my first raised bed herb garden. I am having so much fun with fresh, dried, and frozen herbs. But still learned so many delightful tips from this video. I will be watching it again soon. Caroline, you have so much talent and knowledge. We appreciate all you share with us. Thanks for everything you do. PS love your book!!!
Hey Lady - thank you SO much for always joining in the conversation with interesting tidbits. Sounds like your herb garden is thriving and isn’t that fun? it just feels special when I go out and snip bits from mine, too. And of course, thanks for your kind words about the channel, the videos and the book. It’s nice to know I’ve created something you’re enjoying. XO Caroline
This was very helpful. Thank you so much for this teaching
Glad it was helpful, Yvonne, and I hope you get to enjoy spices as much as I do! Cheers, Caroline
Thank you. This was a very helpful video. I need to learn more about spices to jazz up my cooking.
Thanks, Janet. Hope you have fun in the learning process. They really can add so much to so many dishes. Like using a big box of crayons in the kitchen! Cheers, Caroline
This is such an interesting and informative video. Even though I have and use most of the spices you mentioned, it is refreshing to see your perspective living in the Mediterranean area of the world. Love it! 👍🏻
Hey Tere! Nice to hear from you again. I have to say, living here really opened my eyes to so much more of the options when it comes to spices and herbs...I really love playing with all the options! XO Caroline
I think this will help this newbee a lot. Thanks
I sure hope so...I know it's pretty packed with information but that's why I put together the PDF. Lots to consumer nad always helpful to have some "class notes" for reminders! Cheers, Caroline
Excellent information!
Thanks, I'm glad you think so and hope the ideas bring a little spice to your life in 2025! Happy holidays, Caroline
Thanks Caroline ❤ i love spices.
I'm not surprised, Manuela. You seem so willing to explore new flavors and foods in the kitchen. Ansd BTW, sorry for the late reply, got back from my little vacation in Paris (which was wonderful) and I'm still catching up!! XO Caroline
@@mediterraneanminutesno sorry needed Caroline ❤ i love to hear that you enjoy it 🎉
Thanks!
You bet, Cat! Cheers, Caroline
Loved the video - thank you. I am a fan of sumac, thyme, and tarragon. I use them a lot.
We must be twins separated at birth... you picked my three favorites too (although I have to admit saffron is up there as well). XO Caroline
When I tried Sumac... I was like, "Where have you been all my life!"...I eat cinnamon every day & my blood pressure thanks me for it ❤
Oh, Sally Jean, you made me laugh and so glad that it sounds like you like it as much as I do!! Stock up, you're gonna need it... XO Caroline
I so enjoy your channel and just received your new book. BTW, I love your little linen jumpers and that beautiful purple picture behind your shoulder. So calming!! Can't wait to jump in and go with these tips....Sometimes I think I have to know it all before jumping in, but I need to just start and adjust. Thank yoU!!
Thank you so much, PW! How nice to send me a note. I love those aprons too, super comfy and while I mostly where the blue one in the videos, I ended up getting them in every color they had on Amazon! The picture in the background is one I shot when I went to that saffron farm to watch the harvest and it's one of my favorites. Pretty inspirational for me in the kitchen. Glad to hear you are willing to jump in at the deep end, don't worry, it's not as scary as it seems... just have fun! Cheers, Caroline
Hola! Muchas gracias! I will watch this one again!
Hi Theresa! Even George said " whoa, there's a lot of information in there" when he watched it too. If you haven't had the chance to download the PDF, all the notes are in there too if it helps to remember! Cheers, Caroline
Great video, will help me a lot. Only thing is I don’t like thyme or rosemary so not used. All the others are so wonderful to use
As I always say, you do you! So if thyme and rosemary don't work for you, no biggie, there's a world of spices and herbs to get to know and love! C
@ it’s funny cause I like coriander/cilantro whereas my daughters think it tastes like soap. In australia we call is coriander and arugula is rocket here. No idea but we are a rather different mob.
@@joeyk5 Ha! Your daughters and I respond the same to cilantro for sure!
@@mediterraneanminutes it’s funny how taste buds work.
Thank you this was very helpful. 👍
Hey there BB! Really glad to hear from you and that you enjoyed it! Thanks for dropping the line! XO Caroline
Such thorough information and advice! Do you use garam masala? I use it for Tikka masala but would love to know other applications. Thanks!
Yes I do use Garam masala, especially for fall season stews with squashed and dried fruits. So warm and cozy and I love the way it makes the kitchen smell! Of course, it's a classic with tikka masala but you probably know it can enhance all sorts of other dishes, especially ones with chicken or pork and apricots and onions! Cheers, Caroline
@ Great ideas! Thank you!
That's great! Thanks.
You're welcome, Nana! Hope it adds more spice to your life… Cheers, Caroline
Hi Caroline! I am sitting here drinking a turmeric almond milk latte laced with turmeric, pepper, ginger, and cinnamon. I have a shocking amount of spices that I use regularly 😊 Is your picture in the background crocus petals? Have a great week!
Whoa, sounds like I could learn a lot from you, Laura Ellen! Wanna come over for a little cup of something warm and healthy...? ;) That picture is one I shot at the saffron harvest I mentioned in the video. A big beautiful basket of saffron crocus flowers ready for the harvest rooms. Such a spectacular memory for me, a day I won't forget but love to have the reminder on the kitchen wall! XO Caroline
@mediterraneanminutes Believe me, I would love to visit and I speak Spanish!! 🤗😉 Not Castilian, but close enough, haha.
@@lauraellen189 Me too (ha ha ha!)
I’d love to come for a week long cooking class❤
Great video Carolyn. I bought some saffron on our trip to Spain and haven't used it yet. What's your favorite way to use it?
Hi Kimberly! How are you? Sorry it took a bit to get back. I just returned from my fall week vacay to Paris! Of course, you would buy saffron on that trip to Spain...lucky you. Of course, my favorite is in a paella, but I also throw it in other soups (esp butternut) and veggie stews. Last week, I added it to a fall season chunky soup. And I paired it with apricots to make a sorbet last summer with our farm fruit haul. Of course, as you know, it's still expensive even here so a little goes a long way but that floral, fragrance is a real favorite of mine. Just remember to steep it first! XO Caroline
Well i came to look up for mediterranean spices 🎉😂 and wala!!!😮 thank you very informative 🎉😂
So glad you found it helpful! Cheers, Caroline
❤❤❤ Thank you
You’re welcome! Hope you have fun spicing things up! XO Caroline
Got it. Thank you

Very helpful video! I just discovered herbs de Provence. Trader Joe had some and I’m not sure exactly how and when to use them. I have sprinkled them in scrambled eggs, & seasoned meat (chicken & fish) and veggies with it. I love the taste even if that is not how you typically use them. I would love a recipe that featured it.
Hi Jan - If memory serves me right, there's a recipe somewhere in the back videos using it but frankly, I can't quite remember (ha ha ha), but I will use it in a dish in the near future. I love to just sprinkle it on large diced potatoes with some olive oil and throw them in the air fryer for nice flavorful crispy side to a piece of grilled fish. And of course, it's a natural to use when seasoning roast chicken! Plus lemon is a perfect flavor partner with it, as is sauteed fennel and onions! Cheers, Caroline
@ That sounds good. I will definitely try it on chicken and my roasted potatoes.
Yummy 😋
