Cumin Coriander Cinnamon useful in any bean or pulse dish.

Chicken and Pork brings different element, fantastic with shoulder of Pork long and slow.

Use this with Potatoes Chickpeas Spinach and Lemon juice.

Onions loads of garlic and water Olive oil or use

Ragu based sauces.

Cumin on its own earthy needs a partner use Cinnamon or Coriander fine ground.

Use Cinnamon with stuffed pastas and add to Porridge sweets puddings.
