How can I tone down the taste in nutmeg in the food I am preparing?
That's difficult to say without knowing what dish the nutmeg is in. Having said that, and assuming for whatever reason you cannot simply reduce the amount of nutmeg in the recipe, I think your best bet would be to increase other spices to balance the nutmeg. For example, if you're making pumpkin pie, you could increase the amounts of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, which would produce a more balanced flavor with the nutmeg. If you're making a bread product, such as donuts or a coffee cake, you might add some cinnamon - dust the donuts with cinnamon sugar, or put a cinnamon crumb top on the coffee cake.
