Chef and an Excellent Cook are highly knowledgeable on how to bring out the FULL- FLAVOR of what they prepare. For instance; a tiny pinch of thyme added to a package of chicken gravy mix will enhanced the taste when prepared giving the gravy a nice "Hungarian flare." A very tiny pinch of Chinese Five Spice added to a French Toast egg batter mixture will give the toast a pleasant Mediterranean Taste. Here is a “crash course” about spices, in alphabetical order.

Saffron is the dried yellow stigmas of the violet flowers of Crocus sativus, a member of the Iris family.
Saffron is mainly used as a colorant and flavoring for cheeses, pastry, rice and seafood dishes.
Chives Used in cold soups, stir-fries, cheese and cream sauces, dips, potatoes, and as a garnish, chives are popular in European and Chinese cuisines and in the seasoning blend fines herbes.
Use in teas, beverages, jellies, syrups, ice creams, confections, chutneys, raitas and lamb dishes, mint is featured in Afghanistani, Egyptian, Indian, and Mid-Eastern cuisines and spice blends such as chat masola, mint sauce, and green Thai curry.
Jamaican Style Jerk Seasoning
This spicy blend is not for the faint of heart: warm flavors usually associated with baking (allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon) are fired up with Habanero pepper, onion, and garlic. For an authentic Jamaican jerk, make a marinade from the seasoning mix. Apply it to your meat--chicken, pork--and let the flavors develop overnight before grilling.
these are all i remember.
