Nutmeg is great with dishes that feature milk, cream, custard and/or eggs. It is often part of spiced baked food recipes. It can be used in dishes that feature pumpkin, spinach, sweet potatoes, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. It is tasty added to the top of milkshakes, eggnogs, yogurt drinks, and other dairy-based drinks; and is nice with coffee or hot chocolate drinks.
