    I like to have a few basic spice mixes in the kitchen cupboard to grab for instant flavor to my cooking. It is much easier than grabbing 8 individual spice containers and adding each one to the dish. Start with the basic mix and add a little more of the individual spices if needed.

    This is a somewhat mild version with a 1:9 ratio of salt to other spices, which is far lower than most commercial mixes. If you want it hotter add more of the peppers, or consider adding 2 teaspoons of white pepper.

    This also makes a nice little gift. Put it in a pretty jar like the ones below and make a basket with some other spice mixes (like this amazing barbecue rib rub) or kitchen gadgets for a thoughtful hostess or teacher gift.
