To glaze : to spread honey over the skin of an animal before cooking in order to achieve a crispy and sweet texture with a shiny appearance.
Sweet spices : star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, turmeric, nutmeg, saffron, vanilla… These are spices that bring a sweet and fragrant flavor, a warm or aromatic complexity, sometimes slightly spicy, but never harsh, burning, or strong.
