Lately I’ve been using the heck out of my Rancho Gordo chili powder. But I always have a soft spot for coriander and cardamom.
Congrats on your new book!

Does garlic count as a spice? I dump that into just about everything
I’m a big fan of rosemary, dried and crushed peppers, basil and thyme.

I’m tied between two. Savory is my favorite especially in eggs. Everything else I’d have to say I oregano it up

I’m trying to think which is my favorite, but I love cumin and coriander together when cooking southwestern food, but the Italian in me really loves to work with fennel seeds! (Garlic, obviously, goes without saying!)

I really like cooking with garam masala

I love the Tastes of the southwest. Peppers,Cumin and Cilantro. So much can be done with them as a starting point.

My husband is on a low-sodium diet, so I love experimenting with spices and herbs and heating things up. My favorites are probably ginger and cumin, not necessarily blended together.

I use hot shot, a blend of black a red pepper in just about everything. But I also use nutmeg quite a bit. So many people don’t realize it’s better for something other than topping egg nog!

Garlic, cayenne, cumin, ginger, red chili, black pepper, coriander are spices I have to buy in bulk!

Cinnamon is my favorite, especially on cashew butter and blueberry jam sandwiches.

I love the Sweet Curry Powder. You taught me to lightly dist a chicken fillet with Arrowroot and this great sweet curry powder from Penzys Spices and it’s my favorite go-to spice.

Cumin or thyme, depending on my mood. Unless I’m making split pea soup in which case the only choice is caraway!

I love cinnamon in so many things. I also love McCormick’s grill mate seasoning roasted garlic & herb. I sprinkle that on anything from potatoes to porkchops. I’m also a big fan of basil…it gets sprinkled into all my soups, stews & stuffings.
