    I'll try anything new!

  • sabrina7  on  October 21, 2016

    I like adding spices to baked goods. I have been wanting to expand on the spices I use in baking, but haven't had much time for baking lately.

  • DJBWA  on  October 21, 2016

    I often make traditionally "sweet" things into savory items for dinner. Change is fun!

  • JulesLP  on  October 21, 2016

    For me it would depend on the spice, up for some; but not others.

  • sir_ken_g  on  October 21, 2016

    I am a huge spice fan….I'm all in~!
    I probably have 100 or so.

  • alirov  on  October 21, 2016

    Yes, the right spice, even if it seems weird can totally transform a dish!

  • Rinshin  on  October 21, 2016

    Don't care for overly sweet things so spices would be great to tone done.

  • gjelizabeth  on  October 21, 2016

    I'm interested in expanding beyond the basics. I'm especially interested in saffron.

  • mpdeb98  on  October 21, 2016

    I like to add black pepper to spice cookies but beyond that I am rather traditional when baking sweets.

  • mcrimmins  on  October 21, 2016

    I love adding spices to baked goods. Salted caramel is a favorite.

    I'm a fan of big flavors in baked goods and the addition of spices makes that happen.

  • love2chow  on  October 21, 2016

    I loved savory as well as sweet baked goods. Hand pies are a classic example.

    It sounds like the perfect balance to me.

    Love spice and savory in baked goods as long as they are balanced.

  • hillsboroks  on  October 22, 2016

    I am always looking for ways to make an old recipe new and exciting again. This looks like the perfect way.

  • sherrvan  on  October 22, 2016

    Oooh. I'm loving the thought of this! I agree with dbielick.

  • Nancith  on  October 22, 2016

    I like both, altho it kind of depends on how the savory is done. But I'll try anything once!

  • cocecitycook  on  October 22, 2016

    Yummy!

    I do it frequently, especially using black or white pepper in gingerbread.

  • lioraj  on  October 25, 2016

    I love adding something to "spice" up my baked goods and make them a bit more interesting. I think a savory or spicy twist is just the thing to take a cake or cookie to the next level!

  • bdmltm  on  October 25, 2016

    I love spices, so this would be perfect for me!

  • echilt5  on  October 26, 2016

    I don't understand spices very well to make good combinations on my own, but I love trying out new seasonings!

  • lauriesk  on  October 26, 2016

    I don't mind adding spice or a savory seasoning to baked goods, but the flavor would need to be subtle.

    pumpkin pie fits right in! my favorite

    I added garam masala spices to a pumpkin pie recipe instead of regular pumpkin spices once. It was delicious!

    I've used Rosemary and Black Pepper in baked goods before and they were awesome so I've very curious actually.

  • melmaren  on  October 27, 2016

    Very curious and interested in experimenting. I'm intrigued by cardamom at the moment.

  • RNJessicaK  on  October 27, 2016

    I love the idea of adding unexpected ingredients to sweet treats. So unique and complex to bite in and have someone ask "What is that?"

  • annieski  on  October 28, 2016

    Heck yes. Savory ingredients in sweet, sweet in savory!

  • bfg67  on  October 28, 2016

  • Julia  on  November 3, 2016

    I love different spices and herbs in baked goods.

  • cpasek  on  November 4, 2016

    I love adding herbs and spices in baking. Unfortunately, the rest of my family is more traditional and doesn't always appreciate these bolder creations. So sometimes, I just have to make things that are just for me!

  • percussion03  on  November 5, 2016

    I don't think about it often enough! I am eager to explore, but also sometimes like the flavors of a simple ingredient combination to shine through.

  • Teruska  on  November 8, 2016

    I love me some savory in my sweets.

  • DFed  on  November 11, 2016

    It probably depends on the dessert but I'm generally not too much of a fan of savory desserts…
