Any of these seasoning mixes would make a wonderful jar gift. One or two, tied together, or if you want, make a whole set with the jars below!
Regarding the amount of each mix that you use for your dishes, it is best learned through trial and error. I like a heavier hand with seasonings, but some prefer using much less. It's just a matter of personal taste, so experiment!
Have a great day,
Jade :)
