Caffeine and meat. That’s a good combo. We love Coffee BBQ Rub for beef – especially big, flavorful cuts like flank and ribeyes. Coffee and chiles come together in this big, bold blend making it perfect for steak. Finish them off with our Roasted Garlic Sea Salt for a dynamite flavor combo.
A customer told us about this pizza technique, and to be honest, we were skeptical. Everything about this pizza recipe is wrongheaded: dough that is neither kneaded nor rested; sauce and cheese spread to the edge of the dough and allowed to slip beneath; no preheating of the cast iron. But in the end, this...
Our Champagne Pear Balsamic Vinegar is one of our best sellers. A customer and employee favorite, this balsamic vinegar adds the perfect balance of tang and sweet. It’s a must in vinaigrettes and that same recipe can serve as a marinade. Use as a marinade for chicken or pork tenderloin. Drizzle on a salad of...
Southwest spice meets southern sweetness in this simple grilled pork chop recipe. Mojave Garlic Pepper is the perfect savory southwest blend. To glaze these pork chops, we do a simply pantry staple hack by adding our Peach White Balsamic Vinegar and jarred salsa. Sweet meets heat with a nice tangy balance.
This simple grilled weeknight meal is special and worth serving to guests. The marinade gets a one-two punch of peach from fresh peaches and our Peach White Balsamic Vinegar. Thyme, mustard and honey round out the marinating mixture which helps the lean boneless, skinless chicken breasts achieve full flavor. Serve these with a side of...
The delicious, the cream-laden curries and pre-mixed curry powders often found in the United States aren’t exactly authentic. But it’s also hard to define “authentic” Indian food because cuisine in India is highly regionalized–the cuisine of West Bengal is quite different from that of Punjab. And frankly, it can all be a little intimidating. A...
“Whatcha cooking?” That’s the question we ask continuously throughout our day in the shop. It’s the best part of our job. Chatting with our customers gives us an endless supply of ideas and recipes. When we posed the quesiton to one customer, she said, “Get a pen.” And we’re glad we did. Wow, what a...
We were recently treated to a lively and entertaining talk by Sumita Roy. Sumita is a native of Kolkata, India, and she talked about the importance of spices in the Indian kitchen. We sampled Dal–a tasty and nutritious dish of pink lentils cooked in a fragrant, spicy broth. For this recipe, we use Pecan Oil...
We adapted this Food & Wine classic with help from customer Betsy W. The layers of flavor are intriguing—candied bacon, two types of paprika, orange zest—wow. The candied bacon is amazing – saving it for garnish later was the hardest part! We love the combo of our Applewood Smoked Sea Salt and Pure Maple Extract...
I recently spent a Sunday afternoon judging the You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bowl Chili Cookoff. I was on a panel of four judges, and after tasting 19 chilis (pass the antacid), there was one we kept dipping our spoons into. It was a deep, dark red chili that had big chunks of tender, flavorful brisket. There...
