A growing trend among upscale restaurants is the complimentary fresh bread with a concoction of homemade herbs and spices. You can make this yourself with few ingredients and inexpensively.

Spice Ingredients:

1 Fresh garlic clove
1 pinch of red pepper flakes
1 tsp. crushed rosemary
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt

Mix together. Add liberal amounts of olive oil and dip hot, fresh bread in it as you eat. Mmmm!
