Spices?

(1/4) > >>

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
