Spices and Baking [closed]

For cooking, salt, (sea salt if you prefer it) seasoned salt, whole peppercorns and a grinder. For seafood we like Old Bay or Tony Cachere's seasoning. Chili powder, cayenne pepper, dried red pepper flakes, a jar of roasted red peppers, basil pesto. Dried herbs (or grow your own if you have a green thumb), basil for tomato sauces, garlic and oregano. For baking, cinnamon (also good in oatmeal), nutmeg (also good in a white sauce), but just a tiny amount, cardamom, and allspice. Search the internet, or find a cookbook that suits the style of cooking you would like to try, by looking through them you will get a good idea of the spices, seasonings, etc. you would like to cook with.

Good Luck and have fun. Don't be afraid to experiment!
