Spices?
Alida:
I love to cook. I have so many spices from all over the world that I know I'm spoiled.
That said, I have a friend who has NO spices. I mean, literally nothing. Maybe salt. I'm not sure what would be considered "basic" spices for someone just setting up their kitchen. DH and I both brought stock with us when we married years ago (we both love to cook).
I want to send a "starter kit." What would you suggest I put in it?

This is what you're looking for: http://www.nathankramer.com/spice/right.htm
And, I'd add in sea salt - NOT the blue/white box stuff and ground peppercorns.
MDefarge:
GARLIC, parsley, onion, basil, oregano, rosemary, cinimmon, ginger. Those are the most basic ones that BF and I use almost daily.

Hm - yeah, that and Kosher salt, which I find much better than anything else for cooking. Thank you for the link :) It's a good one!

Thank you! That's just what I'm looking for! What typical cooking for an American would require ;D
