Our spice rack has room for 48 spice jars (6 shelves with room for 8 jars on each shelf), which is probably overkill but that is how many spices we use regularly. You could probably get away with only needing 20 or so spices if you're trying to get creative with small kitchens. You will just not have as much flexibility in the type of recipes you can make or will need to use different spices than what the recipe calls for sometimes. Here are the spices we're including: Kosher Salt Black Peppercorn Chopped Onions Mesquite Seasoning Garlic Powder Garlic Salt Red Pepper Flakes Lemon Pepper Greek Seasoning Celery Salt Cinnamon and Sugar Mix Sea Salt Parsley Seasoning Salt Ground Cloves Whole Cloves Cayenne Pepper Ginger Bay Leaves Cinnamon All Spice Cilantro Italian Seasoning Thyme Chili Powder Onion Powder Cumin Nutmeg Basil Dill Weed Caraway Seed Cajun Seasoning Sesame Seeds Ground Pepper Celery Seed Oregano Taco Seasoning Cinnamon Sticks Rosemary Salt Chipotle Blend Gooba Dust Cream of Tartar Everything Bagel Seasoning Coriander Ground Mustard Sage Beef Seasoning Blend
