7 Basic Flavor Combos

It’s helpful to have a few go-to flavor combinations inspired by your favorite cuisines that you can use as starting points for improvisations. Add the following spices to marinades, sprinkle them on top of grain, bean, or tofu dishes, or play with them while brainstorming menus.

1. Mexican: chilis, cilantro, coriander, cumin, oregano, onion, chili powder, garlic

2. Middle Eastern: lemon, coriander, sesame, thyme, sumac, parsley, garlic, mint

3. North African: paprika, cayenne, cumin, ginger, coriander, turmeric, white pepper

4. Chinese: garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chilis, black vinegar, scallions

5. Greek: oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, mint, dill, parsley, cumin, black pepper

6. Italian: basil, oregano, sage, parsley, garlic, rosemary

7. Thai: shallots, garlic, fresh chilis, coriander, lemongrass, turmeric, galangal or ginger, Thai basil, lime

You don’t have to stop here—develop your own favorite flavor combos. Cook intuitively by holding a few spices to your nose to see if they smell good together. If they taste good too, write down the combination so you can repeat it in the future. As beloved chef Julia Child once said, “Learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!”
