Hi, I’m John, the newest member of the team. I’m not a CardaMom, but a CinnaMan. Gender roles aside, I signed on to this great adventure because I really believe in the tsp product, the packets, the organic spices and more.
I’m writing to tell you about some of the more interesting moments of the […]
When Sara and I began this little project of ours some three years ago, we knew we wanted to win prizes and gain accolades. We knew we had a great product, and that it deserved some recognition.
We’ve gotten it, and it feels great!
We learned in the Spring that we were finalists for this year’s SOFI […]
From time to time people ask what happens to the extra spice if you only need half a teaspoon.
We have several answers, and they’re worth repeating here:
1. It depends on the spice or herb or zest. We have found that many recipes that call for 1/2 teaspoon or less are even better if you […]
Arriving back in Spice Land from the Fancy Food Show at O-dark-thirty the other night, I had one feeling (aside from exhaustion) — gratitude that it was a relatively cool summer night, and not the usual sauna. With the air conditioning not working up to speed, cooling down the house would have taken us well […]
Even with three days to take it in, the summer Fancy Food Show is always overwhelming. This year’s show, which ran June 29 through July 1, served up the usual festive excess.
With 2,400 exhibitors offering some 180,000 foods and beverages, the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center typically turns into miles of aisles that make you […]
Summertime calls for easy living and easy food. Easy but good.
As fresh vegetables and fruits roll in, it’s hard to have a bad meal. Simple, fresh and delicious – that’s what summer food should be.
If you’re like me, you like some variety, even in all that deliciously fresh produce. In my book, it’s hard […]
Summertime calls for fruit desserts. Cobblers and fools are terrific, but sometimes it’s good to let the fruit have the starring role with only a little help — from spice, of course.
Here’s a refreshing dessert Katie came up with for a fresh pineapple. You could use other fruit, such as bananas peaches or pears. You […]
That tasty spice rub I blogged about the other day is delicious on its own. But the harrisa sauce took the meal to the next level. Harrisa is a hot chile paste used in North African cooking. It’s available in the U.S., but Nancy didn’t have any on hand, and so, in true cardaMom fashion, […]
What’s better than a nicely cooked piece of beef, or pork tenderloin, or duck breast or even chicken?
You guessed it — a spice-crusted beef or pork or duck or chicken.
Last week, Nancy, our sales director and quite a cook, found a recipe online that has been showing up at the dinner table in various forms […]
The calendar flipped to May this week, but the highlight of my May Day mail was a brand new Bon Appetit — the June issue.
Hmmm. Time does fly.
Whatever one makes of magazine schedules, it’s clear that a new season has arrived in the kitchen. It seems like forever that I’ve been dreaming of ways to […]
