Add flavour without salt, fat or sugar

No matter how nutritious a certain food may be, we just won’t eat it if it doesn’t taste good. And when we hear the term ‘health food’, most of us think of boring salads or dry meals lacking in flavour — hardly appetising!

Spices are a kilojoule-free way to pack flavour into meals, but if you’re not accustomed to using them, knowing where to start can be a challenge. Read on for your complete guide to cooking with spices.
