I have recently discovered the divine ingredient that elevates dishes I recreate from my travels or dining experiences, and it is found at Penzeys.

I have often wondered why my recipes at home don’t taste like their originals, and I have decided that quality spices are absolutely essential to obtain the best results. Too, great dishes start with quality ingredients. An example of my love for Penzeys came after I made a basic coconut curry sauce. I sauteed some tofu and vegetables in a bit of avocado oil and added the magic: Garam Masala and Penzeys The Now Curry powders, let the spices toast in the oil with the tofu and veggies for about a minute, and then I added some coconut milk, chicken stock, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, and coconut aminos. Nothing was measured as this is all to taste.

The result: incredible restaurant-quality flavor. Can I reiterate that I am just mad about Penzeys? These spices are a game-changer to home cooks. Check them out online at https://www.penzeys.com.

I just bought more today. Many home cooks say that Love is the secret ingredient in their cooking; in mine, it’s Penzeys.
