Welcome to Zesty Cook! If you're new here, you can learn about me or follow my quick, simple and healthy recipes. If you would like to receive free zesty recipes daily (and a free zesty recipe e-book), you can get them via email or blog reader.

I thought I would switch up today’s post a bit and share a little bit of personal food information with everyone. I am going to share with you my favorite herbs and spices that I use on a regular basis. What I would like to see from everyone that reads this post is that they add a comment and inside the comment include their top 10 herbs and spices. After a couple of weeks I will compile a list of the most commonly used herbs and spices and do a follow up post. I think it will be fun to see and read everyone’s different tastes.

Zesty’s Top 10 Herbs and Spices:

1. Garlic

2. Ginger

3. Rosemary

4. Basil

5. Cumin Seed

6. Pepper

7. Red Pepper Flakes

8. Salt

9. Thyme

10. Cilantro

I look forward to hearing everyone’s responses of favorites. Have a great Friday!!

Hard to limit it to ten! In no particular order:

1. Cumin
2. Salt
3. Pepper (probably black)
4. Garlic - though it’s not really a spice is it?
5. Ginger
6. Coriander leaf, stem and roots (cilantro)
7. Mint - fresh and dried please don’t make me choose
8. Parsley
9. Turmeric
10. Rosemary

I would have put chilli in the past, but as a mum now, I have to severely limit it’s use - and find I *can* live without it.
