OK... My cooking style has changed a LOT over the years...
I used to cook with a lot of spices... so much so that you couldn't even taste the base dish...
Now my tastes have changed so I cook with much less spice, and would rather taste the subtile flavors of the underlying ingredients...
for example,
15 years ago my crab cakes were so hot with Old Bay, you couldn't even taste the crab...
Now I use only a pinch of Old Bay! BUT, you can taste crab with every bite!
