I'm surprised at how many of you listed bay leaves. I've never been exactly sure why or when to use them.

@house_cat 

i used to use them in spaghetti sauce, but stopped after my italian friends say they never use bay leaves in sauce. i do use them sometimes in some tomato based soups.

1. Kosher salt
2. Fresh black peppercorns
3. Red Pepper Flakes
4. Basil
5. Italian seasoning blend
6. Taco seasoning blend
7. Cinnamon
8. Garum Masala

The real question is what is the one essential you cannot cook without?  For me it is Herbes de Provence.
