Every week at the store I buy rosemary, parsley, sage, thyme, garlic and shallots. I also use a lot of cilantro and basil.

You missed a few that I use often, but we're big herb and spice people. We even have an ever-growing herb container garden that's been growing in size over the past year or so. (Not little containers, BIG containers.) Fresh is so much better.

It all depends on what I'm cooking but in general, I love cinnamon.

I also use lots of spices and herbs when I cook. Cajun is another one I use a lot that wasn't up there.

We use lots of these. We love to cook and we don't want bland food. Fresh cracked black pepper is probably the one that is used most often on a daily basis.

It'd be shorter if I list the ones I don't like! We use a lot of different flavors in our food.

I love pretty much any spice. Some of those I haven't tried yet, though.

Mmm, ginger is one of my favorites! But I love so many! Rosemary, garlic, basil, and on and on!

I make my own garam masala with whole cumin seeds, cinnamon sticks, whole peppercorns, a cardamom pod to two, whole mustard seed, whole cloves, whole bay leaves, whole coriander seeds. Toast for a few minutes in a pan until fragrant, then grind. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks.
