Stock your kitchen pantry with the basic seasonings and ingredients needed to cook easy and quick recipes. You’ll be well prepared to make any type of cuisine and dish you decide to cook.

 

Season your dishes with your favorite blends of herbs, spices, and soup mixes.

Herbs

  • Basil. Use in salads, soups, stews, and pizza (best served on hot pizza fresh out of the oven).
  • Cilantro. Add near the end of the cooking process, or serve as a chopped topping on cooked dishes.
  • Cumin. Cook in Indian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Mexican cuisines.
  • Marjoram. You can get by without it if you have oregano. Marjoram is sweeter of the two, and oregano is peppery.
  • Oregano. Pairs well with chicken, fish, and pork. Goes well with Mediterranean and Italian dishes.
  • Parsley/Italian parsley. Add as a garnish or chop for bread, pasta, salads, and soups.
  • Rosemary. Use this herb on fish, pork, poultry, steaks. Potatoes (baked, boiled, mashed, roasted) seasoned with rosemary, salt, and butter taste good.
  • Thyme. This herb goes well in meats, potatoes, soups, stews, and vegetables.

Seasonings

  • Black pepper. A must-have for the individual who loves spicy foods.
  • Bouillon cubes. Use when you’re out of broth.
  • Cayenne pepper. Great for making any foods you like spicy.
  • Chili powder. Perfect in chili, soup, stews, and Mexican recipes.
  • Cinnamon. You’ll want this in the pantry for baking cinnamon rolls, cakes, cinnamon toast, cookies, and pies.
  • Curry powder. This is a mixture of spices, primarily turmeric, and includes coriander, cumin, ginger, or other spices.
  • Fennel seeds. Produces amazing flavor in meatballs, meatloaf, and spaghetti dishes. Best used when crushed before cooking.
  • Garlic powder. Good in meats, soups, stews, and vegetables.
  • Onion powder. Helpful to have on hand when you discover you’re out of onions.
  • Kosher salt. Enhances the flavor of food. Rub on the edges of steak before grilling. Use to clean cast iron skillet.
  • Red pepper flakes. Good sprinkled on pizza.
  • Salt. The most important seasoning to cook with. Use sparingly because too much overpowers the dish.
