The Spice Kitchen, Review and Giveaway

The Spice Kitchen: Everyday Cooking with Organic Spices.  Easily my new favorite cookbook!  Craig and I have really gotten into spices in the last couple years.  Part of that is from some spices I received from TSP Spices, but part of it is just wanting to create easier dinners but with real pizazz!

The Spice Kitchen

Whether you are new to spices or have been cooking with them for years there will be a few recipes you want to add to your family file from this book.  The first recipe I tried?  Clove Spiced Caramel Corn.

OH MY.  It is fantastic.  I got the book and actually went to the store just a couple hours later because I couldn’t get the thought of the caramel corn out of my head.

Then there is the Coconut Curry Shrimp.  The Cumin Lime Pork Chops.  Creamy Tomato Basil Soup.  Bittersweet Chocolate Chip Ginger Cookies.  and sooo many more.  Plus the first 30-35 pages are filled with information about spices themselves.  The history, where they come from and more.

The Spice Kitchen offers more than one hundred delicious recipes for using herbs and spices to add vibrant flavors to your food at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and any time in between. From Spiced Yogurt and Granola Parfaits, to Strawberry Salad with Cinnamon-Balsamic Vinaigrette, Spiced Guacamole, Tarragon Chicken Potpie, Clove Spiced Caramel Corn, and more, this exciting cookbook is full of inventive recipes, information, and tips for using herbs and spices. Best of all, the recipes are easy and fuss free—a must for busy home cooks who want to spend less time in the kitchen and more time at the family table. And with dozens of full-color photographs and illustrations, The Spice Kitchen is as beautiful as it is practical.

The Spice Kitchen changes everything, using herbs and spices to add special twists to favorite family recipes, from macaroni and cheese, to burgers, chicken salad, deviled eggs, and much more. It’s the only all-purpose cookbook for spicing up everyday meals. Not just exotic extras, spices from around the world make it easier—and much more fun—to turn out delicious and healthy food. The simple but flavorful recipes and ideas in The Spice Kitchen will make old family favorites new again—and bring everyone to the table.

Have a few places you need to take dishes to this holiday season?  Bored with taking the same ol stuff?  This book is a sure fire win for you.  Or would make an incredible hostess gift either alone or with some TSP Spices!

Sara Engram and Katie Luber are the co-founders of The Seasoned Palate, Inc., based in Baltimore, Maryland. Their company specializes in packaging organic spices in one-teaspoon packets for convenience and freshness. Their tsp spices line is sold in more than three hundred retail stores in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and their Smart Spice brand is sold in supermarkets throughout the United States.

And I have TWO copies of The Spice Kitchen: Everyday Cooking with Organic Spices to give away!

To enter, tell me your favorite spice and the dish you use it in.  Easy Peasy!

    Cinnamon is my favorite. I use cinnamon in everything I can, and a dish that always appears on my table at Thanksgiving and Christmas is Syrian rice, made with cinnamon and pine nuts. My dad made it when I was growing up, and I carry on the tradition. The aroma reminds me of him and my childhood holidays.
