Where can i learn more about herbs/spices and how to use them?!
So i want to find out info about which herbs/spices go best with which food and how best to use them. I think theres a world of flavours out there that i'm missing out on! Does any one know a website or something that could help me start this? I'm an enthusiastic beginner cook!

A book I bought last year has a section on herbs and spices: Cooking Basics for Dummies (available through Borders, B&N, or Amazon).
This also explains basic cooking techniques and recipes.
Some sites you might want to look into: wwwfoodnetwork.com and www.cookingchanneltv.com. Plenty of videos and recipes to get you started.
This is an excellent resource
