Adding a little spice just before a meal begins is an excellent way to stimulate the taste buds and whet the appetite. We love this recipe made with one favorite nut or a combination of many. We often warm them just a bit in the oven before serving in a ceramic crock, an antique basket, or an art deco silver bowl. Source: New Basic's Cookbook MM by Cathy Svitek
