A clove of garlic is not the same as a head of garlic. The head is the entire bulb, covered in papery skin. When you peel back the skin, you will find individual segments — these sections are called cloves. The cloves are easy to separate from each other, allowing you to use a few cloves and leave the rest of the head mostly intact.

Roman soldiers were partly paid in salt. It is said to be from this that we get the word soldier – ‘sal dare’, meaning to give salt. From the same source, we get the word salary, ‘salarium’. Salt was a scarce and expensive commodity and its value was legendary. To sit above or below the salt identified precedence in the seating arrangements at a feast, according to one’s rank. Not to be worth one’s salt was a great insult.

Paprika is the dash of red color that usually tops deviled eggs. It’s a spice that some cooks would consider more of a garnish than a powerful flavoring agent. Paprika is made from grinding varieties of dried mild red peppers. When purchasing paprika, there are three different types to choose from, sweet, hot, or smoked. The differences between the three are dependent upon the variety of the peppers. Sweet paprika may not be sweet or spicy, and is the typical type used when the recipe simply calls for “paprika.” It’s made from bright, sweet red peppers without any heat. Use it to add color or a mild peppery flavor to a dish.

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the "saffron crocus". The vivid crimson stigma and styles, called threads, are collected and dried for use mainly as a seasoning and coloring agent in food. Saffron has long been the world's costliest spice by weight. Although some doubts remain on its origin, it is believed that saffron originated in Iran. However, Greece and Mesopotamia have also been suggested as the possible region of origin of this plant. Saffron crocus slowly propagated throughout much of Eurasia and was later brought to parts of North Africa, North America, and Oceania.
