I've heard that nutmeg has some medicinal properties too, which by the way I'm not sure. I'm from southern part of India and as far as I know nutmeg is used in a very small quantity in a sweet rice dish (pongal), it truly gives "the flavor" to the dessert. Simple and lovely cookies Jude. last blog post: Eggless Almond Biscottis

sookie – Nutmegs definitely go well with apples.

Jude I love all your photos, they are so simple and elegant. Nutmeg is one of my favourite spices. Who knew about the hallucinogens.... last blog post: Chocolate, children and perfect puppies.

Mmmm, they sound scrumptious. On my 'list' to make! Love nutmeg. In fact, I just made an apple betty with nutmeg in it last night. It's a great spice! last blog post: Steak, Tomato, Carmelized Onion, Basil, & Cheddar Frittata

Can never have enough nutmeg. Try mixing equal pinches of savory and nutmeg and add it to any dish to enhance flavors (veggies, chili, potato salad, green salad). Even without the savory, nutmeg enhances any soup, marinara, etc.

My favorite spice!

Can’t wait to try these cookies.

fearless – Thanks!

js – Still got about 6 dozen nutmeg nuts.

girlcanbake – Thanks!

I love the way whole nutmeg looks (and smells, and tastes) when you grate it. Yum! Hey, there's a small surprise for you on my blog - stop by when you have a chance! last blog post: Cucumber-Watermelon Salad

I had to laugh at your description of the spice expedition. I thought you were writing about me for a second. It's so hard to resist a good spice store that sells in bulk and dang that nutmeg is pretty small - doesn't everybody need at least a dozen? last blog post: Chinese Napa Cabbage Salad
