Pepper

Pepper is the most familiar spice of all. Black is stronger than WHITE PEPPER, while green peppercorns have a mild, fresh taste. Peppercorns are added to marinades & stocks and are crushed in french recipes.

Cayenne pepper is a very hot pepper which should be used sparingly. It has an affinity with fish and seafood and teams well with cheese and eggs. It is often sprinkled over just before serving.

Here's a tasty recipe from my Just Quick Snacks blog using fresh cayenne pepper (click title to link):

Cheesy Crab

and using black pepper:

Rib-eye steak with bacon, leeks &shallots

 and using white pepper (don't be put off by the title it's delicious)!
