Ok, so what do you think of people that read a recipe like the baked beans above and their first thought is “What the heck is Chinese five spice powder?” Then, their second thought is I’ve never heard of such a thing. Then, their third thought is, really how much of a difference can 1/4 of a teaspoon of Chinese five spice powder make? I mean, if it’s got five spices in it, that means there is just 1/20th of a teaspoon if each of them.

However, I have to admit I’m probably going to look for Chinese five spice powder next time I’m in the spice aisle.

It's great stuff and I use it a lot - mostly as a replacement for baking spices.
