Garlic Powder

Dried herbs, pre-ground spices, packaged foods and the like are generally not as good as fresh.  However, there are a lot of places where dried is just fine for recipes such as rosemary, tarragon, thyme and marjoram.  Often the dried version is a flavor that is very different than the fresh but still fantastic — like oregano.

Garlic powder is a great example of this. It is one of those weird substances that has a flavor all its own – sort of like garlic but not really. It is perfect in Oven Fried Chicken and other breaded dishes.
