…Other than salt and pepper

For me it’s cumin. It’s one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.

In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.

    Not counting sugar? garlic powder or Cinnamon and vanilla. I use garlic powder to go with salt and pepper in a 7:2:1 ratio as like a base for everything from tuna salad to bean burritos. Thrice a week I make overnight oats with Vanilla extract and cinnamon.

    Note my favorite is smoked paprika, I just know fewer recipes and synergistic flavors.

      I normally don’t think of sugar as a spice but Flavor by Ottolenghi seems to use sugar as a spice.

      There is a little sugar in most recipes but not a lot of it

        thank you for this cookbook. that sentence alone seems to indicate it follows my cooking philosophy (i got a sweet tooth so i want to save as much of my daily sugars for my candy supply)

        Most modern people don’t but I feel like that’s because there’s so much of it in everything. The latest episode of Tasting History goes deep on this.

      SPG is a big mover in my cooking, but then garam masala, creole spice are not far behind.
