I have a habit of recommending Costack to people and then watching their face go slightly blank when they get to the website and realise there are 20 seasonings and 12 bundles to choose from. Which is a genuinely good problem for a spice brand to have, it means the range is comprehensive and the bundles are thoughtfully curated. But it does mean that if you're new to Costack, or looking to expand beyond the one jar you already know, you want a guide. This is that guide. I've cooked with the full range, I've worked through the bundles, and I'm going to tell you plainly what each one does, who it's for, and crucially, the smartest way to buy.
One thing worth knowing upfront: every Costack bundle comes with the Official Costack Recipe Collection, 41 recipes across the full range, completely free with every bundle purchase. That alone changes the value equation significantly.
The Individual Products
Start Here: The Foundation Three
If I had to recommend a starting point for any kitchen, it would be these three. They're the most versatile, the best value, and together they cover the vast majority of everyday cooking.
Costack Complete Seasoning: The one I'd rescue from the kitchen in a fire. This is Costack's most versatile blend, formulated to work across poultry, meat, fish, vegetables, rice, and soups without feeling out of place in any of them. If you only ever buy one Costack product, this is it. The flavour is well-balanced, warm, savoury, with depth that builds in cooking rather than fading.
Costack All Purpose Seasoning: The sibling to the Complete Seasoning, slightly simpler in profile but equally versatile. Good for everyday cooking when you want reliable seasoning without anything too complex. Excellent on eggs, roasted vegetables, and anything where you want background flavour rather than a starring performance.
Costack Universal Vegetable Seasoning: This one tends to get overlooked by non-vegetarians, which is a shame because it's one of the most useful blends in the range. Specifically formulated for vegetables, legumes, and plant-based proteins, it adds the kind of savoury depth that plant-based cooking can lack without the right support. Essential if you cook a lot of meat-free meals.
✦ SHORTCUT: Want all two foundation seasonings in one go? The Essential Refill bundles the Complete Seasoning and All Purpose Seasoning together, the fastest way to stock the basics.
BUNDLE : The Essential Refill
The three most-reached-for Costack jars, Complete Seasoning, All Purpose Seasoning and Costack Carribbean Curry Powder together. Perfect for restocking your everyday essentials or trying them for the first time. Free recipe collection included.
The Specialist Protein Blends
These are the blends built for specific proteins, more focused than the all-purpose options, with profiles designed to complement the flavour characteristics of what they're paired with.
Chicken and Turkey Seasoning: Built for poultry, and you can taste that specificity. The blend holds up through roasting and braising without burning, and has an umami backbone that particularly suits darker cuts, thighs, drumsticks, whole roasted birds. One of the most-used jars in my kitchen.
Fish Seasoning: Lighter and more delicate than the meat blends, with brightness that complements rather than overpowers white fish, salmon, or prawns. Use as a dry coating before pan-frying, or mix with butter for a simple paste.
Meat Seasoning: Built for beef, lamb, and pork, bolder than the poultry blend with more depth for longer cooking. Excellent as both a dry rub and a marinade ingredient. Works brilliantly on slow-cooked cuts.
BUNDLE : The Protein Chef's Monthly Box
The four dedicated protein seasonings, Chicken & Turkey, Meat, Fish, and Lemon Pepper — curated into one box for the cook who takes protein seriously. Qualifies for free UK shipping. Free recipe collection included.
BUNDLE: The Bold Meat Lover's Power Pack

BUNDLE: The Ocean's Edge Seafood Collection

The Rice Specialists, Worth Every Penny
Jollof Rice Seasoning
A dedicated jollof blend is a bold claim, but this one earns it. The combination of smoky, savoury, and aromatic notes gives you the depth of a properly made jollof in dramatically less time. If you make rice regularly and want it to taste like something, this is non-negotiable.
Fried Rice Seasoning
Specifically formulated for fried rice, it has the umami depth that fried rice needs to taste like a dish rather than leftover rice that has been heated up. A Friday night essential in my house.
BUNDLE The Sunday Feast Pack
The rice and soup lover's dream pack, Jollof Rice Seasoning, Fried Rice Seasoning, Crayfish Stock Powder, and Pepper Soup Spice Mix. Everything you need for a proper Sunday kitchen. Qualifies for free UK shipping. Free recipe collection included.
The Bold & Specialist Range
Costack Suya Spice Mix YAGI
This is the showstopper. Suya is a West African street food tradition, skewered, spiced, grilled meat with a distinct peanut-and-pepper profile that is unlike anything else in the range. The premium price point reflects the complexity of the blend. Use it for grilling season and prepare to be asked for the recipe.
Cameroon Pepper Powder
Not for the faint-hearted. Cameroon pepper sits at 350,000 - 500,000 Scoville heat units, genuinely fiery, with a fruity intensity that builds slowly rather than hitting immediately. Use sparingly as a finishing seasoning or blend with other spices for heat with complexity.
Adobo Seasoning with Pepper
A bold, savoury, peppery blend inspired by Latin-American and Filipino adobo traditions. Works brilliantly on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and anything destined for the barbecue. Perfect for spring and summer cooking.
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Bright, sharp, versatile. The citrus-pepper combination works beautifully on fish, chicken wings, roasted vegetables, and even pasta. A flavour profile that feels particularly suited to lighter, spring cooking.
BUNDLE : The Firemaker's Collection, Suya, Suya & Smoke
The heat lover's collection, Suya Spice Mix YAGI, Cameroon Pepper, Adobo Seasoning, and Complete Seasoning. Built for the grill, the smoker, and anyone who believes food should have personality. Free recipe collection included.
The Single-Ingredient Heroes
Sometimes you need a specific ingredient rather than a blend. Costack's single-ingredient products are worth mentioning because the quality difference over supermarket equivalents is genuinely noticeable.
Granulated Garlic: Proper garlic flavour that doesn't disappear when cooked.
Granulated Onion: Sweeter and more aromatic than garlic.
Ginger Pure Ground: Warm and peppery.
Crayfish Flavour Stock Powder: A deeply savoury stock powder with umami character.
Afro-Caribbean Curry Powder sachet: A well-balanced curry blend.
Pepper Soup Spice Mix: The essential blend for authentic pepper soup.
Thyme Leaves: Quality dried thyme. A kitchen staple.
BUNDLE: The Roots of Great Cooking, The Base Spice Trio Complete Seasoning, Granulated Garlic, and Granulated Onion. Free recipe collection included.
The Bundles: The Smarter Way to Buy
With the launch of the Costack bundle range, the conversation around stocking a spice rack has changed. Every bundle ships with the free Official Costack Recipe Collection, 41 recipes across the full range.
