Cinnamon beyond the dessert table
The idea
Cinnamon is familiar in sweets, but it can also appear as a background note in savory seasoning blends. Used gently, it can add warmth without making a dish taste like a cookie. The interesting part is the balance with the other ingredients, rather than the presence of one recognizable spice.
A practical next step
Try noticing the aroma of a savory spice blend before you add it. Do not assume every warm note is chili or pepper.
