I like to cook with cumin seed and black pepper seeds. I find the aroma of freshly roasted cumin seed very tempting. I also keep some roasted and powdered cuminseed ready to use when I am in hurry. A simple rice and lentil dish cooked with cumin seed powder and black pepper powder, with salt to taste is yummy .

for me it's black pepper --- i could hardly get by without it. and thanks to your post, i did a little research about black pepper and i found out that aside from improving the flavor of the food, black pepper also aids in digestion and actually helps condition of the digestive system and intestines.

Black pepper is good for cold too. I make a spice mixture with black pepper, dry ginger, cloves, cardamom. It makes my chai(tea) smell and taste wonderful. Especially in the winter or rainy season.

I love cumin, thyme, and black pepper. For roasted potatoes I like to use rosemary. For sweet dishes, I love cinnamon.

I put italian seasoning in a LOT, it's my most used spice. I, also, use black pepper a lot. I use a lot of herbs and spices in my cooking/food.
