Salt, pepper, onion powder and granulated garlic. That is what i call my All Purpose seasoning.

I use the same things, but I add paprika and a little MSG!

Cajun seasoning.

I start with this recipe, but sub in Himalayan pink salt instead of kosher, and sub the onion powder with a 1/2 tbsp of celery seed

This Japanese style curry powder tastes really good in a Japanese style curry.

It tastes similar to the S&B curry in the can, but fresher and without the orange peel. I should try adding some zest sometime, but otherwise it uses all things I have on hand. If I have S&B, I'll mix them half and half to get the freshness of my mix with all the secret tricks the S&B has in it.

The curry recipe is a chickpea curry, but I also sub chicken thigh chunks for the chickpeas if I want a meat curry. Just as good either way.

Ethiopian Berbere. Trust me. You can add it to almost anything when it needs a kick of earthy umami. We keep tons of it on hand because it’s shockingly useful for something so rarely used.

MSG + Citric Acid

Tarragon and fennel seeds in fish dishes. Tarragon and lemon in chicken dishes. Plus salt and pepper, obvs.

Sage, garlic and salt in bread, especially focaccia.

I put a pinch of cayenne into almost everything else, just to stay in shape

Same, but granulated onion and freshly ground pepper.

"Must have" when cooking fish in the oven.

Salt, pepper, allspice and cloves. Goes really nicely with olive oil and onions

I like sage on roast meat.

Butter, Garlic, Rosemary, Salt & Pepper.

Great for vegetables, meat, mushrooms, soup, French fries, etc. it's my all purpose spice blend.

I like to put cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom in my French Toast batter. Makes it extra tasty.

Espresso & cumin

Garlic powder, onion powder, and Cavenders is my "holy trinity"

Marmite is really good for this. Some of the other go-to "umami bomb" condiments aren't vegetarian, but Marmite works well for vegetarians

My favourite unusual one is sichuan pepper powder on garlic bread. Originated in me rummaging through my spices for stuff to add to my garlic bread and I really liked this. I now add it to garlic bread, pizzas, that sort of thing.

Cumin is also a great all purpose spice I put on many things. Cumin+turmeric for curry-flavoured things, but also cumin+salt+pepper+rosemary+garlic granules for anything roasted.

Whenever I'm making garlic confit, I always add some cayenne. I really wish I could source some Sichuan locally. Small town woes.

My old apartment had a huge rosemary bush. I miss that thing all the time! It was so convenient to grab a fresh branch and throw it on the coals while grilling.

Fresh nutmeg is such a game changer! I recently got a bottle of the whole nuts and microplane a little in almost anything sweet, but also goes surprisingly well in small amounts on fish.

Marjoram and thyme, maybe bay leaves in white meat/pork dishes.

Nanami Togarachi, it's a Japanese seasoning with chilli, orange peel, sesame, ginger, seaweed and sancho pepper. Looks and tastes fantastic, I put it on everything.

Thanks! Some recipes include cayenne, some even to the point of being inappropriately spicy. This recipe looks about right though.

This + some kind of chile powder. I put it on damned near everything.

Cumin can cumin my mouth

Salt

I'm lazy. I'll post the recipe, but I'll probably just head to the local African food shop and buy some there.

[don't tell me that there are many countries in Africa. That's literally the name of the place, "African Food."]

Yeah I have a pretty solid supplier for now so I don’t bother making my own, but it doesn’t look that hard as long as you can find fenugreek.

I can't wait to start using 'fenugreek' in my daily conversations.

Call me basic and whitewashed but I do love an oregano thyme rosemary moment. Rosemary makes me "oh mary" like Jorgeous

I also love garlic powder and paprika cuz I can avoid cutting vegetables and I'm a lazybones

I will say that I'm down with like 99% of spices but I absolutely loathe tumeric. Hate it. I'm convinced people put it in stuff just for colour cuz we love an orange-yellow serve but like who actually likes the taste
