The one spice that I couldn't live without is Chilli. I love Asian food and most recipes simply wouldn't work without it. And as a bonus it is divine in chocolate desserts!!

I couldn't live without cinnamon and I always have it on hand. It is just so versatile, I use it mainly in porridge, french toast, apple pies, cinnamon scrolls and chai. Plus it has a raft of health benefits. Tasty, nutritious and healthy. A well rounded spice.
