Orange peel is the dried rind of oranges. Orange peel may be used as a one-for-one substitution for fresh orange peel in most recipes.

This fragrant flower is used to enhance the flavor of grilled meats, jellies, sauces, and baked goods. It can also be used for perfumes and bath oils.

Fennel has a subtle licorish-like flavor and aroma similar to Anise. Lightly toasting fennel seeds accentuates its flavor. Fennel added to meatballs or meat loaf gives an authentic Italian flavor. Saute Fennel seed with sliced peppers, onion, and sausage for a quick pasta sauce.
