These handy Travel Spice Kits are so popular that Mrs. Cook's orders "tons at a time." The compact and portable case is filled with 15 small containers of herbs, spices, and special seasoning blends. They're perfect for toting on trips and compact living spaces. "Boaters love them and people buy them for their time shares," says store manager Amy Pomp Lorette. Each kit includes cracked peppercorns, kosher salt, granulated garlic, crushed chili flakes, cinnamon, ground ginger, mustard powder, mild curry powder, French herb blend, Italian herb blend, Mexican spice blend, barbecue spice blend, Chinese five spice, Cajun spice blend, and lemon garlic blend. $25.95 at Mrs. Cook's.
