Thread: What Spices are in your Cabnet?

From the must have's like Salt and Pepper, What spices are in your cabnate that you cant live without.

Crushed Red Pepper I try not to run out of... I use it on pretty much everything... best on eggs replacing black pepper...

Fennel pollen. Simply AMAZING on grilled pork.

I could name quite a few, but I think more important is that I've found spices to be fresher and much better from
Penzey's

, than from local stores. It really does make a big difference. And they do have a few B&Ms. Not cheap, but not ridiculous, considering how little of most of the spices you're actually using.

Oh, OK - white pepper!

Cilantro

+1. Penzey's is amazing. Since discovering this place, we've replaced our entire spice/dried herb collection with Penzey's. Huge difference in using quality seasonings on your food.

They also have a few original blends. One of my favorites is their "Mural of Flavor." It's good on chicken, fish or pork. Also it's good on tomatoes, potatoes and just about anything else that you can think of.

Ground Ginger - besides using it for cookies and cooking, you can also brew a tea for the flu, cold or the "runs". Helps you with the symptoms, not a cure.
