What can I substitute for Chinese five spice?

If you do not have Chinese five spice, you can approximate the flavour by combining a little ground cinnamon, ground cloves, fennel seed and a mild pepper, then adding a touch of aniseed flavour if you have it. The result will not be identical, but it can work as a reasonable stand in in many recipes.
