A friend of mine once referred to her spice rack as “essential self-care,” and while I rolled my eyes at first, now that I have built my own and stocked it with flavorings I never knew existed, I see what she was talking about. A spice rack, drawer, whatever you’re into, is a magical place of aromas, scents, tastes, flavors, and I like to think, memories too. Whenever I open mine, I’m barraged with aromas from past meals I’ve made, my childhood, and places I’ve traveled to. We all know the basics, like Red Chili Flakes, Cumin, and Onion and Garlic Powder, but what about those other, lesser known spices? Now that I’m stuck at home, and all the restaurants around me have closed, those have become everyday essentials. Here is a list of some of my favorite spices that I use to give my meals a little more zing.
