When we launched The Expat Cookbook, we got a few questions about the Uruguayan Spanish words for some of the herbs and spices used in our recipes.
So, we decided to put together a page of English to Uruguayan Spanish translations for the herbs and spices used in The Expat Cookbook (and a couple others we use regularly). If you think of something you would like added to the table below, please feel free to contact us.
| English | Uruguayan Spanish |
| Basil | Albahaca |
| Black Pepper | Pimenta Negra |
| Cayenne | Pimienta de Cayena |
| Chives | Cebollino |
| Crushed Red Pepper | Aji Molido |
| Cumin | Comino |
| Dill | Eneldo |
| Garlic | Ajo |
| Ginger | Jengibre |
| Marjoram | Mejorana |
| Onion Powder | Cebolla en Polvo |
| Oregano | Orégano |
| Paprika | Pimentón |
| Parsley | Perejil |
| Rosemary | Romero |

In addition to questions about the Uruguayan Spanish words for these herbs and spices, we received questions about where you could buy some of the ingredients we used.
