Hi Heifer.
As the other person said, I have at least 60+ bottles of spices, I usually get them one a week and have built the collection over the last year. The ones to start with are corriandar, cumin, turmeric, madras curry powder, paprika, garlic onion and a lot of dried herbs, as you can't always get fresh, basil, chives, origano, dill, tarragon.etc..I also keep Knorr "stockpots" in stock, beef, dark beef, herbs, chicken & vegetable. Light soy, dark soy, white wine vinegar, apple vinegar, sesame sauce, oyster sauce, worcester sauce, red cooking wine, english mustard, salt & pepper.To name a few!
