I've been enjoying cooking lately, and learning the art. As it turns out, perhaps the most important aspect of cooking is.......ingredients. Presentation is important, using the proper spices, proper cooking method/temp/time. But the most important single variable is the ingredients. Start with fresh, whole, organically grown ingredients, and you really don't need spices or other tricks. The flavor of the food itself is the showcase. There is, for example, a huge difference between the fresh produce in the grocery store, and the fresh produce at the farmers' market.
