If your spice cabinet is packed but dinner still feels stressful, you’re not alone. Most home cooks aren’t lacking spices they’re lacking a simple system.
That’s where the 1-Seasoning Method comes in: you choose one core organic seasoning blend (a cooking base), and you use it across multiple meals so flavor stays consistent, prep becomes faster, and your kitchen stops feeling overwhelming.
At Le Bon Goût Seasoning, our blends were designed as all-in-one seasoning solutions to solve exactly that pantry clutter and long, complicated marinades.
What is the 1-Seasoning Method?
The 1-Seasoning Method follows three simple rules:
- One base seasoning becomes your default flavor foundation
- Add one supporting flavor (acid, sweetness, heat, or herbs)
- Repeat the method all week so cooking becomes automatic
In Haitian kitchens, this concept already exists. Haitian epis is a foundational herb-and-aromatic cooking base used across many dishes a powerful reminder that great cooking doesn’t require complexity, just consistency.
Why it works (and why it saves time)
Most weeknight cooking stress comes from one thing: decision fatigue.
“What am I seasoning this with tonight?”
When you rely on a single meal prep seasoning:
- You stop measuring 10 different spices
- You cut prep time dramatically
- You create a signature flavor your family recognizes
A strong cooking base does the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on cooking, not overthinking.
Choosing your core organic seasoning blend
To make this method work, you need the right foundation.
Option A: Organic Green Seasoning (Epis-style base)
Your everyday go-to. Perfect for rice, beans, vegetables, seafood, and chicken. Bright, herb-forward, and packed with fresh ingredients like garlic, parsley, scallions, thyme, citrus, and peppers.
Option B: Organic Meat Seasoning (Tomato + Citrus Depth)
Your bold, flavor-packed option. Designed to simplify meals with deep, rich flavor that penetrates quickly—no long marinating required.
💡 Pro tip: The easiest way to start is with both. The Starter Duo (Green + Meat) gives you a complete system for fast, flavorful meals all week.
The 1-Seasoning weekly formula
Once you understand this, cooking becomes effortless:
- Protein (or tofu/beans): 1–2 spoonfuls base seasoning
- Heat (optional): hot sauce or pikliz
- Acid: squeeze of lime or lemon
- Freshness: scallions or parsley
- Carb: rice, pasta, plantains, potatoes
That’s it. You’re building flavor in layers, not relying on salt.
A simple 5-day meal plan using one base
This is where the 1-Seasoning Method really proves itself one organic seasoning blend, multiple meals, zero stress:
