Cuisine worldwide is defined more by spices and herbs than by food staples. To season by taste, crush an herb or spice you suspect might go well in the dish you are preparing. Now smell the herb at the same time you taste the dish. If you like the way they meld, then it's a combination worth trying.

Fresh organic herbs lend a more delicate and refreshing flavor to foods than dried herbs. When substituting dried herbs for fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon dried herb for 1 tablespoon fresh.
