You should be able to find any or all of these spices at your favorite supermarket. Sometimes you might have to go to a store that sells in bulk. Mixing your own spices assures that they are fresh, which is a good start to great recipes. Don't forget, allow yourself to adjust these recipes to taste. The amounts are NOT written in stone. You might like less or more of something, like cayenne pepper. I have to back off a little on that spice, myself. So, have fun with your spices...............
