I use a lot of different spices depending on what country I am cooking from. I love and grow herbs. Fresh herbs send the food over the top.
I have a secret ingredient and now all of my friends do as well. This is for cooking when you have little time but need to impress..................................Club House, Montreal Steak Spice.......it is great in pretty much every single thing you make......it sends your roasted vegetables over the top. It is also very good for my friend Jay... she bought it for her husband for when he cooks and now it all tastes good! La La Viola!

Yeah, I hafta say garlic. If the recipe calls for no garlic, I use 3 or 4 cloves. If it calls for 4 cloves I use 8. My husband is Sicilian, so he goes into withdrawel without it. I just love it. I buy is fresh and already peeled. I love to cook, but I'm no slave.

Unfortunately my mom did not cook with a lot of spices. She came from a poor family and was lucky to be able to eat at anytime. So I used what she used. Salt, pepper and sage, and poultry sesoning during Thanksgiving. I have learned from my India friends to use curry, which i use everyday for the health benefits, and cayenne red pepper for the health benefits, which i use everyday. Otherwise i am like my mother, stick to basics. I do use garlic for health benefits and i hear we should eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of onions a day for health. My father always ate raw onions with meals and he is doing great at 80.

I like Garlic too - Saffron and sometimes hot, hot, hot though usually mild - not green or red peppers, but like the yellow, like very much sweet chilli sauce but honestly don't cook much these days and have never been a great cook like fishgirl sounds. Sometimes I long for tasty food. Sea salt is the best salt.

very hard to choose only one, I don't think garlic is a spice, so mine would be thyme or oregano, I also love lemon pepper and lemon mrytle
