Cooking 101: Is there a "spices and seasonings starter pack" I can buy?

Post date: 2021-04-17 02:06:10

Watching too much America's Test Kitchen and SortedFood (and Mythical Kitchen) during lockdown made me realize I don't have many spices in my pantry, just your basic salt, pepper, and a few other odds and ends. So, is there a "starter set" that one should get? That comes with, say 10-20 of the most frequently used ones?

I tried searching on Amazon but I keep getting gift sets and exotic blends that costs like crazy amounts of money for stuff I'll never use (well, maybe ONCE).

Should I just head down to my local supermarket and grab one of each from the spice aisle? :D If so, which ones?

I'm not really a home cook, as I just occasionally throw in some ingredients and "it seems edible", and I don't have an oven (just a toaster oven), and I have an air fryer.

To show you how lowsy of a cook I am, the other day I made "ground beef and broccoli" in my air fryer. It's... edible.
