The Basic Herb and Spice Rack


This is a list of the basics everyone should have in their spice rack. Always buy herbs and spices in small containers because they lose flavor quickly. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. If you keep these basics in your cupboard you can make virtually any blend and add spice to every dish!


1 Garlic Powder I use it in nearly every savory dish. Lawry's preferred.
2 Whole Peppercorns Get a grinder and you won't use pre-ground pepper again!
3 Oregano Rub between palms before adding to release more flavor.
4 Basil Goes with oregano well.
5 Dill Weed Essential for fish.
6 Paprika Sweet Hungarian is my favorite. Sgezed preferred.
7 Cumin Essential for Mexican dishes.
8 Cinnamon Baking and curries.
9 Nutmeg Baking and cream sauces. Better to grate your own.
10 Rosemary Poultry basic.
11 Saffron Truly worth the expense. A little goes a long way.
12 Sage A must for poultry.
13 Thyme Good with meat and poultry.
14 Parsley Good for adding color. Mild flavor.
15 Bay Leaf A must for soups and stews.
16 Tarragon Good with seafood and poultry.
17 Onion Powder I used this as a flavor booster instead of salt.
18 Chile Powder Get the real thing, not a blend.
19 Celery Seed My potato salad has to have it.
20 Arrowroot for thickening sauces and gravies
