Spices
Spices are everything and so is salt. I understand some of you have high blood pressure or are otherwise avoiding salt, however, salt is necessary to the body and it brings out the flavors of the spices. My suggestion is that you make a few spice mixes that you can use over and over to impart the right cultural flavor to the foods that you prepare. Make sure you use your spices whole and toast them before you grind them in order to preserve the oils. Use a coffee grinder to blend your spices or turn them into powder.
These are a few I really like:
Ras-el-hanout - a Moroccan spice blend

There are some I use often and my spice collection is never without:
