Spices have been responsible for the longest trade wars in history so although small, they have a farreaching effect.My spice tips are easy ones: * Dukkah sprinkled on lamb chops before grilling * Pinch of instant coffee or cocoa powder in hearty stews * Salt and lime on grilled ear of corn * Salt and chilli ground together and eaten with tart fruits such as pineapple * Maggi sauce marinated steak
