An Indian-inspired spice blend transforms simple baked salmon into comfort food. Zingy pickled apples and greens dressed in a luscious coconut sauce balance the dish. This card has enough spice to serve four people twice or eight people once.
“I love pairing local ingredients with global flavors. This dish matches salmon and apples, two very important foods here in Oregon, with a spice mix inspired by Indian cuisine. Adding interesting spices to familiar ingredients is a great way to get comfortable with new tastes.”

As its name suggests, Allspice brings forth a deliciously warm, subtle sweet flavor that’s evocative of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, all mixed together.
The name is as unoriginal as it sounds. When English settlers first encountered these pungent berries in Central America, they gave up trying to describe its complex flavor and settled on Allspice.

Jackfruit! Not so common to some, it's golden, fragrant, and very complex below the surface.
Heat. I may have a hard time eating some truly spicy foods but I still love it.
Weddings are overrated. Celebratory cake, however, is never overrated.
Delicious and dynamic enough for entertaining, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner. Indulgent spice blends elevate simple, healthy ingredients to satisfying new heights.
