Since I love Indian food I would say whatever is needed to make a great

curry, Vindaloo or such. Curry powder, turmeric, parsley, cinnamon, nutmeg.

 

Summer

Mrs Dash, fresh ground black pepper, tandoori seasoning, chili powder, cumin

powder and cinnamon

 

This year I am growing basil, which is mainly getting eating before I can

pick it

Parsley, oregano, rosemary and chocolate mint.

Let us also know if you grow your own, what you grow and any tidbit of wise

advice on that.

 

 

 

There are very few I don't like.

Fave spices:

black Pepper

Cayenne pepper

basil

cumin

red pepper flakes

 

I grow my own:

basil

horseradish

cilantro but hardly ever with good results

rosemary

lavender (still haven't cooked with it)

oregano

 

I mostly freeze what doesn't get eaten fresh

 

I've dried marjoram in the past but don't really use it. I hardly ever see

it used in recipes. Amy
