Spices
A well-stocked kitchen is incomplete without a select array of essential spices that can elevate any dish. At a minimum, every kitchen should have salt, which enhances flavor, and black pepper, known for its versatility. Paprika adds a vibrant color and a mild, sweet flavor, while cumin brings earthy warmth to various cuisines. Oregano and basil are staples for Italian and Mediterranean dishes, imparting aromatic depth. Garlic powder and onion powder are convenient alternatives for fresh ingredients, providing savory richness. Lastly, red pepper flakes offer a touch of heat for those who enjoy a bit of spice. With this foundational spice collection, any home cook can explore a world of flavors and create delicious meals.
