I’m sharing details on the best spice gift sets for beginners to home cooking. These make great gifts for home chefs, and they’re also perfect for building out your pantry staples. Let’s go…

Today I wanted to share some basic spices for you to use to get started on your home cooking journey, or extra spices to add to your pantry if you’re ready to branch out!
There are also plenty of ideas for home cooking enthusiasts, if you’re looking for the perfect gift…
Basic spice kits for home cooking
These include quite an assortment of spices, so even if you’re trying a new recipe a couple times a week, it won’t be often you need to reach for other spices at the grocery store…
First, check out one of the best spice gift sets in my pantry…
It’s a must-have for home cooking… I’m talking about the Spicewalla Essentials spice kit you’ve seen in a lot of my cooking videos this year…
You’ll see the Spicewalla Kitchen Essentials 18-pack in many of my YouTube recipe videos.
This pack has lasted me a while, about a year at least, and it is so nice to know the entire set doesn’t expire for another year. I feel like when you buy 1-off spices, you often end up with a bunch of expired ones in your pantry…
The kit includes classics like cumin and paprika, to more exotic flavors like cardamom and turmeric, which I’ve really been exploring in my recipes lately.
If nothing else, I’d definitely start with getting this very diverse kit!
Above is my recipe for pork rib rub that I made using a blend of spices from the Spicewalla essentials kit.
