Reach for the wonderfully fresh flavor
of Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper.
For really tasty corn on the cob, place
6 ears of corn in a large kettle and add
enough water to cover. Squeeze in the
juice of 1 lime and add up to 2 TB. of sugar,
depending on the sweetness of the corn.
Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes
before serving. Brush with melted butter or
olive oil and sprinkle liberally with
NEW Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper.
We’ve used all of our Penzeyness
to blend just the right mix of our
very special peppercorns, ground
to the perfect size in-between
coarse and fine, all while keeping it
fresh, fresh, fresh. But even more
important than what we put in
every jar is what you can get out
of it: Deliciousness right at the
table with every easy shake. A
deliciousness that will soon have
you forgetting there ever was that
other shaker on your table.

O
ur four decades of selling
spices have taught us that cooking is not a one
size fits all world: far from it. We’ve learned the
true beauty of cooking lies in the incredible
diversity of the people who cook, and in the
incredible variety of the food they cook. Those
years have also taught us for all the diversity, for
all the variety, people who cook have something
in common. They care enough to make the lives
of those around them better. The research shows
that people who share dinner together at the
kitchen table go on to share a brighter future. A
brighter future made possible by people with the
spirit to build it one meal at a time. It is this spirit
we celebrate, this spirit we hope to spread, this
spirit that makes all who cook ONE. We think you
will find that Diversity, Variety, Caring and Actual
Cooks make a great recipe for life. Come along
and join us. Make a difference.
Be ONE.
On the spice front our new Penzeys Freshly Ground
Pepper is off to the best start of any new spice in our
history. It is just so simple, so easy, so fresh. If you
haven’t picked up a jar yet it is time to get one, maybe
more. We have found that our Вј cup jars are perfect for
traveling for our own use and for handing out as little
gifts as well. Something about those shiny little glass
jars is just so right–worth having, yet not so valuable
that people feel awkward about taking them. And they
are perfect for showing your friends and family why
you go out of your way to find great spices.
On the travel front we just came back from our
pursuit of the new American economy family trip. Jeri
and I loaded up our daughter Teddi and Jeri’s mother
Ethel into the mini van and off we went. We visited
our new store locations in Birmingham, Alabama and
Santa Monica, California and points in-between, points
before and after as well. Somewhere along the route
I think my ideas on where we should open our stores
changed. For years we have looked for store locations
with healthy, vibrant economies because that is what
businesses are supposed to do, but now I’m questioning if this really is the right approach for us.
One of our many stops along the way was our Detroit store and though the economy is less than bright
there, the store was very much alive. We saw lots of
great people sharing their excitement for cooking. Talking with Margie and Johnette, who were working there
that day, our consensus was that this is just the right
time and place for what we do. Wherever we go as we
grow we spread our love for cooking but maybe some
places are just more in need of that love than others. In
some places where everything is going well cooking is
the icing on the cake, but in other places without cooking there is no cake at all.
I am thinking that maybe it is time to open up the
process of how we choose our store locations. Now
might be the right time to have a second “I Want a
Penzeys in My Town” postcard contest. This time in
addition to opening a Penzeys store in whatever town
sends us the most postcards, we are giving serious
thought to adding an essay part to the contest, and
opening a store wherever someone can best put into
words why their town could really use a Penzeys. We
need to give this just a little more thought, but look for
details next catalog.
Until then I hope you get a chance to enjoy all the
wonderful gifts that come our way this time of year,

Adobo Seasoning
How much should I buy?
A good rule of thumb is to buy a one
year’s supply of herbs or ground spices,
and a one to two year supply of whole
spices. The government’s guideline for
freshness dating is four years for whole
spices and two years for ground. Some
people say six months is the longest
spices should be stored, but most spices
are harvested only once a year, so it does
not make sense to discard them every six
months. On the other hand, two years
is too long to store finely powdered
spices. Each spice contains hundreds
of flavor components. It is the quantity
and balance of these components that
determines the quality of the spice. These
flavor components will dissipate at
different rates. A top quality spice may be
better at two years old than a low quality
spice at two months. When in doubt
about a spice, just smell it. If it smells
strong and spicy, use it. If not, toss it.
How should I store them?
Spices must be stored properly to
maintain strong, fresh flavor. Heat, light,
moisture and air all speed the loss of
flavor and color. Glass or barrier plastic
containers (such as those we use at
Penzeys) are very good. DO NOT store
your spices near a heat source: on top
of the stove, dishwasher, refrigerator or
microwave, or near the sink or a heating
vent. The best way to avoid light is to put
the spices inside a cupboard or a drawer.
If an open spice rack is being used, place
it out of direct sunlight.
Some folks say that all spices should
be stored in the refrigerator or the freezer.
Whole, crushed and ground chili peppers
(including paprika, as well as sesame
seed and poppy seed) will stay fresh and
colorful longer in cool storage, especially
in the Summer months. Other than vanilla
beans and extract, the flavor of spices
will not be damaged by cold. The only
problem with spices being stored in the
fridge is that they tend to be used less (out
of sight, out of mind). So we recommend
keeping smaller quantities of spices out
in the cooking area and larger backup
supplies in the refrigerator or freezer.

per cup. Push food to one side of pan. Tip pan for juices
to collect on one side and drizzle in arrowroot-water
slurry. Stir over medium heat until slightly thickened,

Sicilian Salad Seasoning
Basil is the perfect herb for pasta, tomato sauce, and
chicken. The flavor of sweet basil is almost addictive and
there is little that a bit of basil can’t improve. Known as a
tomato’s best friend, add basil to salads, soups, fish, and
vegetables. Basil is a wonderful addition to meat and
poultry as well. Add basil toward the end of cooking for
the strongest flavor. California basil is a little stronger
than French basil, due mainly to better dehydration
technology, and is the basil of choice for Italian and
American cooking. French basil has a bit of anise flavor
many people enjoy.

Marcia Cole
M
arcia Cole laughs when she
tells about the wedding gift her
husband Robert Feuer gave her. “He
told me to keep my name, since I was
still working and established with the
name Cole,” she says. “He said he
would become �Mr. Cole!’
“While I’m at work, Bob keeps the
home fires burning, and dinner is
always waiting when I get home.
What a good cook he is! Bob has
been a Penzeys customer for many,
many years.
“We like to host an annual fall
Cowboy BBQ,” adds Marcia from
their home in Menahga, Minnesota.
“Last year’s was the biggest yet. Not
only were we celebrating my hubby’s
80th birthday, but we also renewed
our wedding vows. We were married
at home during a snowstorm in
November 2005 with only a judge
and one witness present (the other
was on the phone). So we figured it
was time to have another wedding
that everyone could attend.
“For our barbecues, Bob always
makes his famous BBQ 3000 Steaks
and Cowboy Beans. My best friend
Melissa grills up some tasty chicken.
I’m in charge of the side dishes and
dessert—which last year was wedding
cake!”
BBQ 3000 Steaks
For an extra treat, Marcia likes to buy baconwrapped rib-eyes for this recipe.
4 8 oz. steaks (we used T-bones)
4 tsp. BBQ 3000
Wash the steaks and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides
of the steaks generously with BBQ 3000. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2
hours before grilling. Heat your coals or grill to
high heat. Grill the steaks 5-7 minutes per side.
Prep. time: 5 minutes plus 2 hours marinade
Cooking time: 10-14 minutes
Serves: 4
Love was in the air last fall when
Marcia Cole and husband Bob
renewed their wedding vows,
along with celebrating his 80th
birthday. After the ceremony,
guests enjoyed a buffet of
delicious homemade dishes.

Bay Leaves
Turkish bay leaves are the best in the world. Though not as strong as
the California variety, they have a natural depth of flavor that the
California bay leaves can't hope to match. Bay leaves grow wild on
the hilly mountains of western Turkey in the area around Izmir
(Smyrna). The flavor of bay leaves is perfect for adding to roast pork
or chicken, pot roast, turkey or ham, use 2-3 leaves and remove
before serving. Bay leaves are also perfect for spaghetti sauce and
chicken soup, use 2 per quart. A surprising fact is that bay leaves
improve the flavor of salt-free dishes with their rich flavor. Note: bay
leaves are very light (8 ounces by weight equals one gallon by
volume).
Cowboy Beans
Slow-simmered to perfection, this picnic staple
from Marcia Cole is also great the next morning
with breakfast. Pinquito beans are a local small
crop; pinto beans work fine as well.
2Cups dried pinquito beans picked
over and soaked overnight (or pinto
beans)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
3 whole TIEN TSIN CHILI PEPPERS

114.5 oz. can diced red tomatoes with
juice plus 14.5 oz. of water
1
вЃ„2 tsp. BEEF SOUP BASE

Drain the soaked beans in a colander and
add to a 6-quart stockpot with all of the
other ingredients including the 14.5 ounces
of water. Place over low heat, cover, and
simmer for 6 hours stirring occasionally. You’ll
have enough beans to serve a lot of hungry
cowboys with 4-ounce servings and some left
over to accompany your morning eggs.

Bavarian Style Seasoning
Growing up in the Penzey family, one of our favorite
Sunday dinners was Gram's special recipe of veal, pork,
potatoes, onions and carrots, all roasted to a golden
brown in the same pan, seasoned with her simple, yet
delicious blend of herbs and spices. We’ve also found
this seasoning is wonderful for the grill—one of our
quick favorites is to rub boneless pork chops or turkey
cutlets with a bit of vegetable oil, then sprinkle with 12 tsp. Bavarian Seasoning per pound. Also great on
turkey breast, rub on 1-2 tsp. per lb. For added zest,
sprinkle with lemon juice or salt. Hand-mixed from:

Ancho Chili Peppers
Chili peppers are capsicums, in the
same family as bell peppers and paprika
pods. They range in flavor from rich and
sweet, to fiery hot. A combination of
both sweet (ancho) and hot (dundicut,
chipotle, and jalapeГ±o) chili peppers
are used in Mexican cooking for fullflavored, spicy chili and other dishes.
For Chinese cooking, tien tsin peppers
are most common, and in Indian
cooking sanaam and dundicut peppers
are used, along with a variety of spices.
Remember to combine the heat of chili
peppers with other spices, so the finished
dish will have a full-bodied flavor. Since
chili peppers are dried vegetables, they
will keep best if stored in the refrigerator, especially during the summer.
Large, juicy, dark purple New Mexican pods. Ancho
chili peppers are the most commonly used pepper in
Mexico and are the backbone of dishes such as the
traditional red chili and tamales. Chop into В№/4" chunks
and add to chili, mole sauce, stews, beans and rice, or
cover in water for a few hours to rehydrate, slice open,
stuff and cook. To make a flavorful ancho chili oil:
Chop 3 peppers into 1" chunks and simmer in 3 cups
good corn oil, 20 minutes. Let cool, strain (use pepper
pieces in another recipe) and store in an airtight
container.

Black and Red Spice
A blend of fresh ground Tellicherry black pepper and
hot cayenne red pepper. Great whenever you want the
robust flavor of Tellicherry black pepper but need extra
heat. Perfect for the grilling season, since the heat of
the grill mellows the red pepper heat a bit, for flavorful
spicy chops, chicken, fish, shrimp kabobs and steaks.
Try a sprinkle on scrambled eggs, creamy pasta or
potato salad for a spicy change of pace. Hand-mixed
from: Tellicherry Black Pepper, Cayenne Red Pepper.
Chili Powder
There is a difference between chili pepper
and chili powder. Chili pepper consists
solely of chili pods which have been dried,
then powdered. Chili powder is a blend,
of which ground chili pepper is used as a
base (usually 80% of total volume), with
the addition of spices such as cumin and
Mexican oregano. For chili, start with 1
TB. (some people will use as much as 3
TB.) per quart.
Regular Chili Powder
Rich flavor, deep color, very little heat. This blend is
the traditional backbone of many Mexican dishes,
from burritos to tamales. Great for family-style
chili, use 1-3 TB. per quart. Serve with a shaker jar
of crushed hot peppers on the side for those who
like heat. Hand-mixed from: Ancho chili pepper,
cumin, garlic, Mexican oregano.

Medium Hot Chili Powder
Medium Hot Chili Powder is our most popular chili
powder; it has the perfect heat level plus rich
flavor–a pleasing bite that's not too hot. Add 1-2 TB.
Medium Chili Powder to each quart of chili for great
flavor. Add the spices while browning the meat for
even richer flavor. Chili Powder is also nice as a saltfree seasoning. Make a paste by mixing 1 TB. Chili
Powder with 1 TB. water and 1 TB. lime or lemon
juice, rub on chicken, fish, or pork chops before
grilling or sautГ©ing. Hand-mixed from: Ancho chili
pepper, cayenne red pepper, cumin, garlic, Mexican
oregano.

Hot Chili Powder
For people who really like hot food. Use the full
amount called for (1-3 TB. per quart). If less is used,
the chili will be hot but will lack the depth of flavor
the ancho peppers provide. This is the best
powder for those who like their chili hot and
flavorful. Hand-mixed from: Ancho chili pepper, red
pepper, cumin, crushed red pepper, garlic and
Mexican oregano.

Cardamom
Cardamom is a pod consisting of an outer shell with little
flavor and tiny inner seeds with intense flavor. Stored in a
glass jar, cardamom pods will stay fresh indefinitely.
Shelled or decorticated cardamom seeds are inexpensive
and flavorful, but sometimes need to be crushed or
ground before use. Ground cardamom has an intensely
strong flavor and is easy to use (especially in baking,
where the fine powder is desirable). In India, where both
green and black cardamom are used, it is an important
ingredient in meat and vegetable dishes. In Northern
Europe, white cardamom is used to season baked goods
such as Christmas stollen, cakes, cookies, muffins and
buns. Black cardamom has a unique smoky flavor and has
developed its own following over the years.

Celery Seed
Black pepper is the best spice for beef, but good cooks

rubbed on large cuts of meat. Ground celery is used
more sparingly to season smaller, quicker cooking cuts.
Use half as much ground celery as whole celery.

Cilantro is one of the main, distinctive flavors in Mexican
cooking, especially in salsa, soups, and salads. Cilantro is

in Asian cooking. Dried Cilantro is not quite as nice as the
fresh, but it is easier to keep on hand and has good strong
flavor. Cilantro is the leaf of the coriander plant. Cilantro is
used heavily in most of the world where its unique flavor
seasons salads, tacos, curries, guacamole, soups and
stews. Dehydrated, broken leaf. From California.

in 1вЃ„ 2 cup granulated sugar and keep it on the table.

Korintje Cassia Cinnamon
There are two main types of
cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon is native
to Southeast Asia, especially southern
China and northern Vietnam, and has
the strong, spicy-sweet flavor most
Americans are familiar with. Vietnamese
and Chinese cassia are the sweetest
and strongest varieties, with Korintje
cassia having a smooth flavor with less
bite. Our cinnamon sticks and Korintje
cinnamon both come from the southwest
coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. It grows
wild on the government-protected
slopes of Mount Kerinci, where the
cinnamon gets its name. We stock the
top Korintje A grade, although there are
also the lower B and C grades, which are
the types of cinnamon usually sold in
supermarkets in the U.S.. Our very sweet
and strong Vietnamese cassia comes
from the remote north and west regions
of Vietnam. The strength of the flavor
of spices depends upon the essential
oil content­—the higher the level, the
stronger the flavor. When orders for
cinnamon come in, the large sticks are
cracked into slightly smaller pieces and
packed into burlap bags for shipment.
The second type of cinnamon,
Ceylon, or "true" cinnamon, has a much
different flavor. It is less sweet, with a
more complex, citrus flavor. The special
flavor of English and Mexican sweets
comes from Ceylon cinnamon. We like to
recommend Ceylon Cinnamon for baking
with fruit—especially in apple pie.
Sweet and mellow, Korintje cinnamon is the type of
cinnamon we all remember from our childhood.
Fragrant Korintje cinnamon is as strong as China
cinnamon, but smoother and not as nippy. We love
Korintje cinnamon for sprinkling—on hot cereal,
oatmeal and cream of wheat, French toast, pancakes
and waffles, sugar cookies, and pie crusts. Perfect for
cinnamon breads, quick, yeast, or toasted with raisins.

Ceylon Cinnamon
Complex and fragrant, with a citrus overtone and rich
buff color. Although Ceylon cinnamon is less strong
than cassia, its hint of citrusy flavor and lack of any bite
whatsoever makes it the favorite in both England and
Mexico where it is preferred over cassia for all uses.

Extra Fancy Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon
Vietnamese cinnamon is the strongest, richest, and
sweetest cinnamon around. For traditional cinnamon
recipes such as gooey cinnamon rolls, the vibrant flavor of
Vietnamese cinnamon really shines. It is so strong, that in
most recipes it should be cut back by about a third, but it
is perfect used full strength in any recipe where cinnamon
is the main, delicious flavor. Ground, from Vietnam.

Nancy Roberts
N
ancy Roberts of Gilbert,
Arizona, is enthusiastic about
cinnamon for lots of reasons. “I love
cassia cinnamon,” she writes. “It is so
delicious!
“I try to eat at least a teaspoon a
day. Mostly I shake it on top of my
homemade lattes (extra creamy!). I
use it in baking—especially in crisps
and cobblers. And I give jars of it as
little birthday or thank-you gifts.
“Mixed Berry Cobbler is a huge
hit with family and friends,” she
adds. “It can also be made with just
peaches. Both versions are delicious
and go well with ice cream.”
For Nancy, fun times in the
kitchen began when she was an
adolescent.
“I started baking when I was
young, helping my mother who was a
home economics teacher and a great
cook. I remember hanging out in the
kitchen and tasting things at every
stage of preparation and helping
when I could.
“Now when I’m not cooking for
my husband Dan and our sons
Caston and Quade, I’m driving the
kids to sports events, helping out at
school and church, doing CPA work
and enjoying my friends!”
All smiles are Nancy Roberts, sons Quade and
Caston and husband Dan (left to right).
Mixed Berry Cobbler
This wonderful recipe from Nancy is equally delicious
with peaches.
6 Cups mixed berries
1 tsp. CINNAMON (Nancy likes CHINA)
1 TB. water
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2-4 TB. sugar (optional)
1 Cup rolled oats
3вЃ„4 Cup all-purpose flour
3вЃ„4 Cup firmly packed brown sugar
1вЃ„2 Cup butter (1 stick), softened
Preheat oven to 375В°. Place the berries into a
greased 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with the
CINNAMON, water and lemon juice. Add sugar as
desired. Berries can be tart and need the full 4 TB.;
peaches rarely need any. In a large bowl, combine
the oats, flour, brown sugar and butter. Mix with a
pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Sprinkle the
crumb mixture evenly over the fruit. Bake at 375В°
for 25-35 minutes or until the fruit is tender and
the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice
cream.

Steve Kissinger (left) and his partner Tom Wilson
enjoyed a festival in Dublin a few years ago.
Steve Kissinger
I have maintained a weight loss
of 75 pounds for more than five
years!” writes Steve Kissinger of
Roswell, Georgia. It all started about
10 years ago, when Steve began
cooking for himself, concentrating
on eating foods that were free of
sugar, flour and wheat.
“At the time, I couldn’t find many
things that didn’t contain sugar. It
wasn’t long after that I started using
Penzeys spices. I love that the catalog
clearly states the ingredients in each
product. I have all the cinnamons,”
Steve says.
“I was at a friend’s house when I
first tried tofu and I liked that it took
on the taste of whatever you cooked
with it. It’s great with Vietnamese
cinnamon, and also with tomato
sauce and herbs. I sometimes make
tofu casserole, too. It’s not for
everyone, though. I made it for my
stepmother who was visiting and she
turned up her nose at it!” Steve
laughs.
“Tofu is a nutritious source of
protein and is low in fat, too. I’m not
a vegetarian, but it’s tofu for
breakfast now,” he says. He shares
one of his favorite recipes here.

Lucinda Reiss (right) traveled far from her farm
to visit the Arctic Circle with her friend Betty.
Lucinda Reiss
Cinnamon is the perfect addition
to any meal that Lucinda Reiss
prepares in her Erie, Illinois,
kitchen. “I sprinkle it on anything I
want to improve the flavor of,” she
writes. “It adds that extra mmm taste
to everything from hot and cold
cereal…to chili and chocolate
pudding. I like having the choice
between the slightly different tastes
of cinnamon—Extra Fancy
Vietnamese (my favorite), Chinese
Cassia and Korintje Cassia.”
Lucinda’s recipe for Cinnamon
Cupcakes “goes together in a
hurry…and disappears fast!” she
says.
Lucinda keeps busy on the family
farm when she’s not cooking. “We’ve
raised almost everything over the
years, including Angus cattle. But my
favorite animals were the raccoons,”
she recalls. “My brother was working
on a 4-H project when a farmer came
by with two baby coons with their
eyes still closed. We named them
Bandit and Rascal. They were the
smartest, most fun animals I’ve ever
been around!”
Bandit and Rascal were eventually
released back into the wild at a state
park, but Lucinda still misses them.
“I think they knew we saved their
lives,” she says.

1вЃ„8 tsp. salt
Topping:

whites and beat well. Add the VANILLA EXTRACT
and milk. In a separate bowl, sift together the
flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to
the creamed mixture and beat until smooth. Pour
into the cupcake cups and bake at 375В° for 20-22
minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the

Cloves
Whole cloves are a must for studding hams and
flavoring stocks and hot cider and punch. The flavor is
intense, so be sure to use sparingly. Ground cloves are
perfect for baked goods. Because cloves bring out the
flavor of beef, add a whole clove to beef stew or a tiny
pinch of ground cloves to gravy. In the West, cloves are
mainly considered a baking spice, though their
preserving qualities make them popular for pickling
and barbecuing.

We carry two types of the highest quality cocoa that are almost twice as rich as the
grocery store varieties: Natural High Fat Cocoa is strong, dark and bittersweet–perfect for
all baking; Dutch High Fat Cocoa is processed to temper the natural acidity of the cocoa
bean, yielding a slightly less strong, but smooth and rich cocoa. American cooks tend to
prefer the Natural High Fat Cocoa for all uses, and we agree. Cocoa can easily replace
unsweetened baking chocolate. Use 3 TB. cocoa powder to replace a one-ounce square of
unsweetened baking chocolate.
Strong, dark chocolate flavor—our top choice. The
best cocoa for bringing life to your brownies, cakes
and cookies. High fat cocoa is the richest grade of
cocoa available in the world today. Perfect for all
your baking needs.
Use to stabilize delicate toppings like meringue and
angel kiss cookies. Natural tartaric acid. From France.

water to equal 2 fresh cloves of garlic. For minced
garlic, use В№/4 tsp. in 1 tsp. water to equal 1 fresh clove
of garlic. Rehydrate garlic before adding to tart foods

from developing to its full strength).

Cooking With Curry
Many people who eat curry for the
first time in an Indian restaurant are a bit
overwhelmed by trying a dish that is new to
them but spiced for a person who already
knows and loves the flavor of Indian food.
The key to learning to love Indian food
yourself is to start at home by adding small
amounts of curry powder to foods you
already know and like. Sprinkle on chicken
or chops before cooking, scramble a bit
with eggs, sautГ© with vegetables. Soon the
whole family will love the flavors, and you
can move on to authentic, but not too spicy,
dishes like Balti, Tandoori, SatГ© and Rogan
Josh. Finding new, quick ways to prepare the
same food for the family dinner isn’t always
easy, and Indian cooking is some of the most
delicious in the world. Give it a try...
Not All Curries Are
Hot
Gingered Tuna Salad
Tuna again? Sure it’s healthy, but this recipe will

12 oz. can chunk white tuna in

tsp. SWEET CURRY POWDER
TB. olive oil
Cup minced red onion (1вЃ„2 small onion)
TB. CRYSTALLIZED GINGER
Cup mayonnaise (1вЃ„2 Cup will be more
moist, but 1вЃ„3 cup will have fewer
calories and less fat)
TB. rice vinegar (or 1 tsp. white vinegar
and 2 tsp. water)
tsp. prepared Dijon-style mustard
Cup chopped pecans
tsp. salt
dash CAYENNE PEPPER (to taste)
Drain the tuna and set aside. In a small saucepan
over low heat, sautГ© CURRY POWDER in olive
oil for 5 minutes, stirring every so often. While
curry powder is cooking, mince the onion. Chop
the CRYSTALLIZED GINGER into small pieces,
about the size of the minced onion. In a medium
sized bowl, whisk to combine mayonnaise, rice
vinegar and Dijon-style mustard. Add cooked
curry powder mixture (make sure to scrape it all
in), crystallized ginger, onion, chopped pecans,
salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Whisk again.
Add tuna; mix with a fork until the tuna is well
blended and coated with the dressing. To serve,
line 4 plates with a cup or so of chopped lettuce,
top with tuna salad and ring with rounds of
crusty bread, quartered cherry tomatoes and
baby carrots if desired. This salad is excellent
served chilled or at room temperature.
Prep. time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Yield: 3 Cups salad (serves 4 or so)
Contrary to popular belief, Indian food
isn’t all hot. The wonders of spicing are
nowhere more apparent than in India,
where stronger-flavored meats, such as
lamb, are turned into the most delicious
dishes imaginable through spicing and slow
cooking. Tandoori, Maharajah and Sweet
Curry are rich and flavorful without being
hot. Hot Curry and Vindaloo are hot and
spicy. Garam Masala, Rogan Josh, SatГ© and
Balti are somewhere in between. Just starting
out? Try Sweet Curry, Rogan Josh, Tandoori,
Balti Seasoning
Baltistan is an ancient region of northernmost Pakistan
with influences from Persia, Tibet and China. Balti
meals are rich stews cooked in a karahi (small wok),
and would be eaten with naan and other Indian
breads. The deliciously spicy but not too hot flavor of
Balti makes it a great choice for chicken, pork or beef.
Hand-mixed from: coriander, garlic, ginger, cumin,
dundicut chilies, Ceylon cinnamon, brown mustard seeds,
cardamom, clove, fennel, fenugreek, charnushka, ajwain,

Same great flavor as Sweet Curry Powder, with more
hot red pepper and ginger. Commonly used by
Chinese restaurants, also known as “Madras Curry
Powder.” For grilled steaks, pork chops or chicken
wings, rub on В№/2 - 1 tsp. per pound, along with salt as
desired. For spicy chicken noodle or eggdrop soup, add
1 tsp. per 2 quart pot. Hand-mixed from: turmeric, red

Garam Masala
Garam Masala, a blend of savory Indian spices, is one of
the few spice mixes actually used in India. It has no
turmeric, so it isn’t yellow, and is often added to hot or
mild curry powder. The formula for Garam Masala was
brought into the store by a Punjabi man who had
moved to the U.S. It was his mother's recipe; in
exchange for blending the spices for him, he gave it to
us. His mother was proud to hear that her blend was a
hit in America. Hand-mixed from: coriander, black
pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, kalonji, caraway, cloves,
ginger, nutmeg.

meals. Maharajah is sweet and rich, not hot, with
fragrant cardamom and a full pound of Kashmir
saffron, in every 100 lbs. of curry powder. Add glorious
color and flavor to chicken and seafood curry. For rice,
saute В№/2 tsp. in 1 TB. butter for 2 min., add 1 cup rice, 2

Rogan Josh Seasoning
Just a little spicy. This version of the popular red lamb
stew comes from the state of Rajasthan, known for its
hilly deserts and fierce, yet chivalrous warriors. While
Rogan Josh can be made with beef, it is traditional and
better made with lamb. This blend is a great example
of how a crafty seasoning can change the stronger
flavor of lamb (or in India, mutton or goat) into a meal
far more delicious than plain old beef. Some blends are
interesting–this blend is delicious. For the true Jaipur
Palace experience, use the full 2 TB. seasoning per
pound, plus extra cayenne and cardamom. Either way
you make it, don't plan on leftovers. Brown 2 lb. lamb
or beef cubes in 4 TB. oil, remove. Brown 1 large
minced onion, add 2-4 TB. Rogan Josh, 1 tsp. salt, stir.
Add meat plus 1 cup water and В№/2 cup yogurt. Cook 12 hrs. over low heat till lamb is tender and sauce thick.
Hand-mixed from: paprika, garlic, ginger, cumin,
coriander, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon, cardamom,
cloves, saffron.

Tandoori Seasoning
Clay ovens known as tandoors and the flavorful food
they produce have become popular the world over.
The most popular tandoori food is chicken. Skinless
half chickens are marinated overnight, skewered and
baked in the tandoor. You might not have a clay oven
in the kitchen, but Tandoori Seasoning tastes great
anyway. Use to coat cubed chicken breast on skewers
for the grill or oven, perfect for sauteed boneless/
skinless chicken breast or fish fillets, also excellent for
plain baked chicken. Hand-mixed from: coriander,
cumin, sweet paprika, garlic, ginger, cardamom and
saffron.

Vindaloo Seasoning
Of all the regional dishes of Indonesia, satГ© is probably
the best known and most enjoyed the world over.
What could be better than meat on a stick? Lamb is the
meat of choice for skewers in Indonesia, but chicken
and beef are equally popular here in the US. SatГ©
makes a great appetizer or a wonderful meal with plain
rice or Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Also perfect for Ayam
Goreng (fried chicken). SatГ© Seasoning is great for light
meals such as boneless/skinless chicken and fish fillets.
Sprinkle on heavily, 2-3 tsp. per lb. Hand-mixed from:
salt, brown sugar, garlic, white onion, coriander, shallots,
ginger, turmeric, paprika, Ancho pepper, galangal,
cayenne, lemon grass.
This hot and spicy blend comes from Goa, a small state
nestled in the middle of the Malabar Coast of India.
Though control of Goa was returned to India in 1961,
the four and a half centuries of Portuguese rule left
many lasting impressions. Pork Vindaloo is a favorite
dish of the Catholics, who make up a third of the
population of Goa. The Muslims and Hindus of India
prefer Vindaloo lamb or duck. Mix 2-5 TB. spice in 2-5
TB. water, set aside. Heat 2 TB oil, brown 1В№/2 lb. pork
cubes, remove, then brown 1 large minced onion. Put
browned pork back into pot, add Vindaloo paste, 1 cup
water, 6 TB. vinegar and 1 tsp. salt, cook 30 min. Add 46 cups cubed potatoes, cook till tender (45 min. or so).
For authentic fiery hot Vindaloo as served in beach
front restaurants in India, add an equal part cayenne
pepper. Hand-mixed from: coriander, garlic, cumin,
ginger, cinnamon, crushed brown mustard, cayenne,
jalapeГ±o pepper, cardamom, turmeric, black pepper,
cloves.

flavor and color. For a curried pasta or green salad dressing, saute

Ginger
Ginger is one of the most widely used
spices in the world. In America, ginger
has been used mainly in baking; it is a
must for the holidays—from gingerbread
to pumpkin pie to fruit cakes, and it is
also increasingly used to flavor a variety
of other dishes. Ginger is essential for
Asian and Indian dishes where it is used
in many ways—from Indian curries, to
Japanese marinades, to Chinese stir-fry.
A pinch of ginger is a nice boost to
the flavor of salt-free dishes, and also
a flavorful addition to chicken soup,
sauteed vegetables, and roast chicken
or pork. For flavorful grilled steak,
rub ginger, garlic and black or white
pepper on meat, marinate a few hours
before cooking.
Crystallized Ginger
They don’t call it candied ginger for nothing–many
of our customers buy it just to eat it piece by piece,
because it is just that good. Tender Australian
ginger, peeled and cut into В№/4" dices, then
preserved using the oldfashioned sugar cure method,
which gives a spicy sweet
flavor to the ginger.
Virtually fiber-free,
crystallized ginger is
perfect for baking and
candy-making.
Because the ginger
retains its warmth and
bite, even with the sugar
coating, it is excellent for
teriyaki, tuna or chicken
salad, plus sweet and sour
marinades.

you are. Add a slice to stock for
chicken soup, Indian curries
and Asian dishes. The flavor
is strong and vibrant - if a
full slice is too much,
smaller pieces can be
broken off by hand.

Powdered China Ginger
China ginger is the finest in the
world. It is virtually fiber-free,
yielding a buttery-soft
powder when ground, and
is much better than the
woody fresh ginger found
in many supermarkets
(stays fresh longer, too).
Chinese ginger has a strong,
true flavor with lemony
overtones, making it perfect for all
baking recipes–especially gingersnaps,
gingerbread, molasses cookies, coffee cakes,
fruit breads, pies, and muffins.

Mustard
When making mustard, use stainless steel, glass or ceramic
utensils and containers (aluminum gives mustard an odd
flavor). For a standard thickness, use 8 parts mustard by
volume to 7 parts liquid. Mustard is very hot when first
mixed, and then mellows with age. Refrigeration nearly
stops the mellowing process. For hot mustard, store at
room temperature for 4 weeks, then move to refrigerator
(or try 8 weeks for mild). An easy starter recipe is 1 cup
regular mustard powder (4 oz. by weight), 3 fl. oz. vinegar, 3
fl. oz. cool water, 1вЃ„2 tsp. salt and 1 TB. honey. Mix until
smooth, then pack in glass jars. For Chinese restaurant-style
mustard, mix 3 TB Oriental powder with 3 TB water. Let
stand 10 minutes for heat and flavor to develop.

Nutmeg
Oriental Canadian Mustard Powder (hot)
Both Grenadian and East Indian ground nutmeg are easy
to use and flavorful. Whole nutmeg are very large, about 80
per lb. (5-6 nutmeg per oz.), making them easier to grate by
hand. Ten seconds of rubbing on a small-holed grater will
yield В№/2 tsp. of fresh, flavorful nutmeg. Grenada in the West
Indies grows some of the finest nutmeg in the world. When
using Grenadian nutmeg, use ВІ/3 of what the recipe calls for,
it is very potent. Nutmeg is a must for BBQ sauce. In Europe,
nutmeg is used atop most bakery and hot chocolate.

Mustard Seed
Yellow mustard seed is the traditional type sold in grocery
stores, commonly used for pickling, canning and sausage
making. Brown mustard seed is smaller and hotter,
traditional for Asian and African cooking. In India, whole
brown seeds are fried in oil until a popping sound is heard.
This gives the seeds a nutty flavor, important in many
vegetarian dishes. Try whole mustard seeds in barbecue
sauce and rubs, or marinades for grilling. The seeds become
very soft, giving great flavor and an attractive appearance.

Northwoods Seasoning
One of our most popular seasonings. Up North Wisconsin is a great place to fish, but it’s
an even better place to eat. Northwoods is a perfect seasoning for family style fried or
baked chicken and fish. For baking, sprinkle on 1-2 tsp. per pound—rub fish with a bit of
oil first. Try adding Northwoods to hearty soups and stews. Hand-mixed from: coarse flake
salt, paprika, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, granulated garlic and ground chipotle pepper.

With flavor so fresh
and delicious,
Penzeys Freshly
Ground Pepper has
earned a spot right on
your kitchen table.
Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper
A simple shake brings life to salads, sandwiches, pasta,
meat, potatoes, soup and eggs. Cut back on sodium by
keeping Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper right at salt’s
side. Reach for the pepper first!
The pepper harvest in Sarawak on
the island of Borneo is a centuries old
event that brings families and friends
together to celebrate the culmination of
a year of growth and (with luck) good
weather. The pepper harvest takes place
at the driest time of year, in late June
through early July.
Harvesting is still done by hand just
as it has always been. Determining the
peak of ripeness of pepper is a hands-on,
visual job. All of the pepper on a vine
does not mature at the same rate and
the subtle color differences are closely
monitored. Some spikes of peppercorns
are in a better location on the vine and
receive more sunlight and nutrients,
so they can be harvested earlier. The
harvesters must be ready at all times,
as pepper can quickly mature from the
dark green berries used to produce black
pepper, to the yellow and red berries
which are then soaked for white pepper.
Creamy white pepper, the type we carry
at Penzeys, fetches the highest price
for farmers. It also presents a greater
challenge. The longer pepper is left to
ripen, the higher the potential for heavy
rains to wipe out the crop or the hot
sun to dry the pepper on the vine. It is
the extra care and risks the farmers take
that produces the rich, sweet flavor that
has made pepper the king of spices for
millennia.

Ground White Pepper
Finely ground white pepper has traditionally
been used in Western cooking where specks of
black pepper would be objectionable, such as
in white sauces, cream soups and fish dishes.
Coarse grind white pepper is the size and type
of pepper preferred in Southeast Asia where it
is sprinkled heavily on meats, especially beef
and pork before grilling, broiling or stir-frying.

Ground Black Pepper
Indian Black Tellicherry. Our ground pepper is
the finest in the nation. Pure premium grade
peppercorns, ground often to ensure
freshness. The pepper is sifted to four popular
sizes, from a fine shaker grind, to large coarse
chunks, suitable to meet every need. Mesh is a
term that refers to the number of openings per
linear inch in a sifting screen. A fine grind, such
as a 30/60 mesh, would sift through a screen
with 30 openings per inch, but would stay atop
a smaller screen of 60 openings per inch.

Summer brings fun times for LeAnne
Robinson and her boyfriend Shaun.
LeAnne
Robinson
I
am very fortunate to be one of
seven children,” says LeAnne
Robinson of Springfield, Illinois. “We
grew up in the country with lots of
room to run, play and explore. It’s
where I learned that food and family
go together.
“Fishing and camping are
activities we enjoy. My boyfriend
Shaun and his family reeled in a
beautiful salmon on Lake Michigan
last summer. Salmon is wonderful on
the grill,” she confirms. “Cooking
over the fire is a summertime
favorite.
“Shaun and I are famous for our
breakfast burritos. Everyone selects
their favorite ingredients from eggs
to hash browns to chorizo sausage
for filling their tortillas. Top that off
with homemade salsa and you’ve got
a great way to start the day.
“I plant a small garden of
tomatoes, peppers and herbs,”
LeAnne adds. (Turn the page to
sample her Pepper Bean Salad.)
“Last summer, Shaun’s dad held a
salsa-making party in his garage.
Eight to ten of us contributed time
and ingredients. We ended up with
80 pints of homemade salsa.”
The salsa party is on for August,
along with another salmon
excursion. Paired with a few canoe
trips, a baseball game or two and
summer is in full swing for LeAnne,
Shaun and the kids.
Grilled Salmon
Shaun tries his luck fishing for salmon on the
waters of Lake Michigan.
LeAnne tells us, “I went fishing with Shaun and
his family last summer on Lake Michigan and
prepared this with the fish we caught.”

Special Extra BoldВ® Indian Black Peppercorns are the
world’s best—only ten pounds out of every ton of
pepper makes the special grade. If you are new to good
pepper, you might want to stick with the regular
Tellicherry, as they are a better deal, but if you really
enjoy pepper you will appreciate the difference. Great
on everything, especially beef, chicken, chops, fish,
salads, vegetables, soups, and omelets.

White Peppercorns
White Peppercorns are regarded by many parts of the
world as the finest flavored, most preferred pepper,
rich and sophisticated. White peppercorns start out the
same as black peppercorns, but then are allowed to
ripen more fully on the vine, to produce a very large
berry with a looser outer shell. This black outer shell is
then removed in one of two traditional ways: the
Muntok peppercorns are soaked in water until the
black shell loosens, while the Sarawak peppercorns are
held under a constantly flowing stream of spring water,
yielding a whiter color, and an extra clean product.
Both white peppercorns have the traditional rich,
winey, somewhat hot flavor that is nice used in soup,
on grilled meat or poultry, in light-colored dishes or
mixed with black peppercorns for a broader range of
flavor. Many Asian dishes rely heavily on the flavor of
white pepper, and it is preferred for cooking the foods
of Southeast Asia, and Southern and Eastern Europe.

If there is only one spice in your kitchen, it should be
pepper. No other spice adds the greatest amount of
flavor to the greatest number of dishes. Now that
modern production and transportation methods have
made pepper affordable enough for all to enjoy, it is
more popular than ever, outselling all other spices, and
consumption continues to rise. If you are trying to
decide which peppercorn to buy, we suggest you start
with Tellicherry Peppercorns. All of our peppercorns
have great flavor, but the Tellicherry Peppercorn is the
top grade of Indian pepper. Malabar Indian
peppercorns are regarded as having the finest flavor of
the mass-produced varieties. A step above Malabar is
Tellicherry—a larger and more mature peppercorn,
possessing a more developed flavor.
Pink Peppercorns
Whole Tellicherry Indian Black Peppercorns
Green Peppercorns
Green peppercorns come from the same Indian vines
as our robust black Tellicherry peppercorns, but are
harvested before they mature, yielding green pepper
with a fresh, clean flavor. Well-suited for poultry,
vegetables and seafood. Dried green peppercorns can
be ground in a peppermill like black peppercorns or
crushed between your fingers. From India.
From the French island of Reunion. These expensive
pink berries add a touch of color and a rich, sweet
flavor to almost any dish. Unlike the black, white and
green, the pink really aren't peppercorns, but they are
called so because of their size and flavor. Called for in
almost anything, such as poultry, vegetables or fish.

The ONLY peppermills worthy of
the World’s Best Peppercorns!
We designed our peppermills to be fully adjustable—from
shaker grind to coarse. To fill the peppermill and adjust the
grind, unscrew the nut on top of the mill, lift off the wood
cap, fill with peppercorns, then place the top back on. The
tighter the top is screwed on, the finer the ground pepper
will be. If the top is screwed halfway down, there will be a
large opening in the grinding mechanism, allowing big
chunks of pepper to fall through. If the top is screwed
down tightly, there will be a small opening for fine pepper.
Our salt shakers have larger holes in the top and are
designed to be used with coarse style flake salt. Fine table
salts may pour too quickly out of the top.
*All peppermills come filled with Tellicherry
black peppercorns and salt shakers with

Pepper Blends
A combination of peppercorns is a nice change of pace for the tabletop pepper
grinder. Black, white and green peppercorns all start as the same berry, but are picked
at different times and dried in different ways, allowing each to develop its own
distinctive flavor. Four Peppercorn and European peppercorns give robust flavor to
meat, poultry, salads and vegetables. Lemon-Pepper and Shallot-Pepper are popular,
versatile, ground pepper blends, while Mignonette Pepper is a coarse blend mixed
with coriander, that is great for longer cooking times of large roasts or the higher
temperatures of grilling and broiling.
European Style Peppercorns
Half and half blend of Tellicherry black
peppercorns and Sarawak white peppercorns. In
Northern Europe, white and black pepper enjoy
equal popularity. The familiar, robust black pepper
flavor combined with the deep, winey, complex
white pepper, is perfect ground on potato or
noodle dishes. Great on pork roast and hearty beef
or chicken stew with red wine and root vegetables.

ood brings us closer,” confides
Mary Shanley of Anchorage, Alaska.
“I think an interest in cooking good
food, and the pleasure of eating it,
comes naturally in my family. I spent
my childhood watching my mother,
Betty Santos, cook. She made
everything from scratch—fantastic
soups, scrapple—the foods of her
childhood on the farm.
“One of my great pleasures is
discovering new tastes and new
ingredients to share with my family.
My husband Robert and I have three
sons. Michael, 20, says that growing
up with his grandmother’s cooking
and mine has given him a huge
appreciation for good home cooking
with lots of fresh produce.
“Our oldest son, Evan, is a
wonderful cook. I only wish he lived
closer so we could stop by for dinner!
“And Conor, 13, loves to spend
time helping me in the kitchen. He’ll
gladly cut up all the veggies and is
ready to mix up anything! He
especially enjoys making pies, cakes
and pastry. Conor says the best thing
about cooking with his grandma and
me is the stories we tell about
childhood and family—little stories
he may not have heard without that
special time together.
“As a family we gather and cook,
laughing at old memories and
nodding at those that run
bittersweet. There is nothing better
than sharing that time with my
family. Family recipes bring all those
memories back and connect us to
loved ones we may have never gotten
to know.”

Dear Bill Penzey,
I love your spices and your catalog.
I love that your company conveys
what I feel: “loving to cook and
cooking to love.” I look forward to
seeing the changes in your catalog. It
is very courageous of you to make
changes at a time when many of us
are looking for stability and returning
to our past. My husband lost his job
in September, after 35 years with the
same company (in a community with
a local 12% unemployment rate).
Our family dinners, often spiced
with Penzeys spices and recipes, are
one way we daily celebrate all the
positive things still in our lives. You
and your company are a part of our
daily lives as we regroup and focus on
what is most important in life.
Be well…and all the best to you
—Carol H.
and your staff.
I have been a fan of your catalog
from the first stages, when it was
printed on newsprint. My mom would
bring me “hot of the press” catalogs
from the print shop in Delavan,
Wisconsin—which is why I have
followed the stores throughout the
Milwaukee area. I am thrilled to step
into the nearest store, the Greenfield

Penzeys spices | Summer
Hi Bill—
I have been using Penzeys spices
for the last two years and have
entirely replaced all other spices in
our cabinet with Penzeys! On a
recent trip to Arizona, I visited your
store in Scottsdale and was very
pleased. The store was clean, well
organized, and it was a lot of fun to
shop! I now live in New Mexico and
sincerely think that a store would do
well here, too.
—Michelle P.
Yesterday evening, my family and I
flew back to Belgium after a week in
New York. It was only during the last
minutes of my stay that I discovered
the market and your shop full of
spices. There was no time left to stroll
around and look for new things. Now,
only ten hours later, I have already
visited your website. Thank you very
much!
—Marijke B.
I have the good fortune to live
right behind your St. Paul,
In response to the
question “Who do you
cook for?” in our last
catalog, Diane
Prodzenski (left) was
more than happy to
send us a picture of
her recipe club. See
page 9 to find out
how you, too, can
send us your photos.
Minnesota, store. Actually, I’ve lived
here for many, many years, and the
closeness of your store, in addition to
the otherwise wonderfulness of St.
Paul’s center city, provides a good
reason to never, ever move away.
Since you’ve moved into the
neighborhood, I’ve exclusively
bought and enjoyed your spices/
herbs and have given many
wonderful sets as wedding, shower or
birthday gifts. In fact, I was just given
a 16-ounce bottle of vanilla for my
birthday. Friends know I love to bake
and cook.
Your spices make all of my old
recipes better. I’ve also tried many
recipes from your catalog. Thanks!
—Kathy L.

Saffron
Saffron is the stigma of the fall
flowering crocus. Peek inside
most any flower and you will see
three threadlike filaments. These are
stigma— but only in the saffron crocus
are these stigma worth thousands
of dollars per pound. Saffron is so
valuable because it is a very labor
intensive crop; only 5-7 pounds of
saffron can be produced from each
acre of land. This makes saffron
the most expensive spice by
weight. However, saffron isn't the
most expensive by use because a
little goes a long way. A single gram
of saffron easily translates into golden
color and fragrant flavor in 10 recipes
of saffron rice, several batches of bread,
or a couple of big pots of paella.
Onions
Dehydrated onions are great to keep on hand for those
times when you've run out just when you need them the
most. White onions have the flavor of a sweet onion, without
the sharpness of raw onions, ideal for those who like the
flavor without the bite. Toasted onions have a “French Onion”
flavor, very nice for roasts. 2 TB = 1 small onion.

For traditional Italian-American cooking, the sweet,
strong flavor of Turkish oregano can’t be beat. Our
travels to this area have allowed us to import some
wonderful Turkish oregano, the best we've seen in
years. Try some on baked chicken, pork, and fish. For a
simple salad dressing or marinade, mix 1 TB. TURKISH
OREGANO with 1вЃ„2 tsp. each black pepper and garlic,
add to 1вЃ„2 cup olive oil and 2 TB. balsamic or red wine
vinegar. Add salt to taste and a dash of honey and/or
brown mustard for green or pasta salads, chicken,
lamb, fish, or vegetables. MEXICAN OREGANO is strong,
pungent and less sweet, great for chili. For easy
GUACAMOLE, mash 2 ripe avocados with the juice of 1
lime, 1вЃ„2 tsp. each MEXICAN OREGANO, cumin, garlic,
salt, and a dash of cayenne.

Kashmir "Mogra Cream" Indian Saffron is the
world's finest saffron. The dark red color and

Buttermilk Ranch
Ranch style salad dressing is lower in fat than most, as it
uses buttermilk for flavor and body. Also excellent for fresh
vegetable dip, or sprinkled on baked chicken or fish, 1-2
tsp. per lb. To make 1 cup dressing, mix 1 TB. seasoning in 1
TB. water, let stand five minutes, then whisk with В№/2 cup
buttermilk and В№/2 cup mayonnaise. For a lower calorie
version use low-fat mayonnaise, or up the proportion of
buttermilk, which will make the dressing thinner, but
equally tasty. Ranch dressing should be refrigerated, check
the freshness date on the buttermilk carton, and write it
on the dressing bottle. Hand-mixed from: salt, bell peppers,
garlic, onion, sugar, black pepper, parsley, thyme and basil.

Making your own salad dressing is
easy and inexpensive, and the finished
product is far better than those sold at
the supermarket. Each dressing can be
tailored to your individual tastes and
the fat and calorie content are yours to
control. Feel free to experiment—make
the Italian dressing as a vinaigrette or a
creamy style, add a teaspoon of Dijon
mustard or a handful of chopped chives,
whatever you’d like. These dressings are
also great for fresh vegetable or chip dip
or as flavorful sandwich spreads; just
use the creamy styles, such as Buttermilk
Ranch, Creamy Peppercorn or Green
Goddess. All of the dressings are
delicious on pasta or potato salad and
make nice marinades for chicken or fish.
Dressings can be made ahead of time and
stored in the refrigerator—so they can be
ready when your salad is, without having
to be mixed each time.
Green Goddess
Salt-free. An old-fashioned, classical style salad dressing,
somewhat like a mild, sweet, herb-filled creamy Italian,
heavy on the basil and dill. This base is not only nice for
green salads, it is great for fresh vegetable dip or as a light,
refreshing alternative to tartar sauce on baked or fried
fish. This base is very good without salt, but salt can be
added to taste (try В№/2 tsp. per cup), or a squeeze of lemon
juice could be added in place of salt. To make one cup of
dressing, mix 1 rounded TB. GREEN GODDESS in 2 TB.
water, let stand 5 minutes. Whisk with 2вЃ„3 - 3вЃ„4 cup regular
or low-fat mayonnaise and 1 TB. vinegar. This dressing will
be thick (nice for dip), thin with 1-2 TB. water if desired.
Store in the refrigerator. Hand-mixed from: green onion,
sugar, basil, celery flakes, minced garlic and dill weed.

standard dressing bottle full, mix 1 TB. seasoning in 1

then whisk with В№/2 cup sour cream and В№/2 cup mayonnaise. Thin with a few tablespoons of vinegar or water.
Reduced fat mayo or sour cream can be used, and yogurt
works well as a replacement for sour cream. Hand‑mixed
from: Tellicherry cracked black pepper, coarse salt, sugar,
garlic, thyme and parsley.

I
like to cook delicious,
nutritious meals full of fresh foods
with lots of color…and I want to pass
this legacy of good food
on to my children and
grandchildren,” says
Gloria Mensah of
Brooklyn, New York.
Gloria and her former
husband Kwaku, who is
originally from Ghana,
raised one son and two
daughters and later
adopted two boys from
Cambodia. Her
“Rainbow Family” now
includes many
grandchildren, as well.
“My kids are all wonderful cooks,
and they all were involved in the
growing of food when they were
young,” says Gloria. “They helped
with gardening and picking berries,
and they are raising their children
the same way.
“I’d like to encourage everyone to
have just a little garden, to plant
some vegetables in their yards. That
would save money for everyone
during these difficult times. And it’s
good for your health, too. Every day
you should eat something fresh—
fresh fruit, fresh vegetables. There’s
nothing better than a salad made
with fresh local ingredients.
“I think it’s so important for
Gloria’s home is always full of love! Gloria and
Kwaku Mensah’s children, from left to right:

children today to be in on the
planting and weeding—to know that
you have to do a little
something to have food to
eat, that you don’t just go to
the store and buy it. I think
it’s a very good lesson for
children.
“Maybe, in a way, something
good can come out of this
terrible economic situation
that we are in. Eat more
naturally and grow your own
food. There’s something
therapeutic about having a
garden.
“Getting back to the basics in life
may be the change that comes out of
the tough times we are living in,”
Gloria adds. “If we’re open to
change, wonderful things happen.”

Pizza Seasoning
Pizza Seasoning is one of our favorites, both for adding
spicy Italian flavor to bland frozen pizzas and for
boosting the flavor of low-fat dishes, such as making
Italian-style sausage with ground turkey. Pizza
Seasoning also gives an almost meaty flavor to plain
old tomato sauce, as the fennel seed makes it taste like
you’ve added Italian sausage without the fat. Mix 1 TB.
Pizza Seasoning in 1-2 cups tomato sauce, brush on
pizza crust or pita bread and sprinkle with cheese and
toppings as desired. For sausage, use 1 TB. per lb.
Hand-mixed from: salt, fennel seed, oregano, sugar, garlic,
black pepper, basil, onion, red pepper.

For years we had stayed away from
selling salts. We find more excitement
in blending spices (sometimes with salt)
than in just packaging a product we
get elsewhere. All salt is really sea salt.
The salt mines are just bringing up salt
that settled at the bottom of the sea
many millions of years ago. Still, the
magazines and cookbooks keep calling
for sea salt and it really has become the
most asked for item. We do have a very
nice assortment at reasonable prices
as sea salts go. If you are on a budget,
don’t buy the expensive sea salts, go for
the kosher style flake salt, which we’ve
been using for a very long time. If you
are looking for something really good,
give the 4/S a try. It really is something
special.
Kosher Style Flake Salt
If you only buy one salt this year make it this one.
Kosher Flake salt has a long history and a great taste.
The special shape of the flakes gives this salt the
maximum of salt flavor with the minimum of salt used.
Perfect for using with our salt shakers! See page 29.

French Fleur De Sel Sea Salt
Fleur de Sel (Flower of the Salt). This hand raked and
harvested salt has a long and rich history in French
cooking. It is often called a finishing salt because it
should be added at the very end of cooking to
preserve its sweet, delicate flavor. Only 1 lb. of Fleur
de Sel is harvested for every 80 lbs. of Sel Gris. If you
need to have the very best, this is the salt for you.
4 / S Special Seasoned Sea Salt

Ann Cole sets sail from Vancouver Harbor on

Ann
Cole
I
have always enjoyed outdoor
cooking, mostly on charcoal or over
a campfire, beginning with my
experiences as a Girl Scout when I
was a kid,” recalls Ann Cole from
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“I bought my first gas grill four
years ago. I had no idea what to do
with it, so I started experimenting
with recipes and Penzeys spices. Now
I cook on the grill almost every day
as soon as it’s warm enough to go out
on the patio.
“I have a weekly dinner group,
and we grill everything from burgers,
sausage and steak to salmon and
shrimp. We enjoy wine, food and
good conversation. Guests are always
welcome. We have birthday parties,
solstice celebrations and observe
holidays together. We are each
other’s family of choice,” confides
Ann, who is widowed.
Retired from a long career as a
Medical Technologist, Ann packs her
days with fun activities. “I love
playing golf, cooking, singing,
traveling and camping,” she says.
“Cooking is one of my favorite things
about camping. I like to fish, and
cooking the catch over the campfire
is the best!”

Grilled Halibut with Mango Salsa
This is a light, refreshing dish that is perfect for a warm night.
4 8 oz. halibut filets (or other white fish)
2 tsp. MURAL of FLAVOR
2 TB. lemon juice
aluminum foil
Mango Salsa:
1 mango, diced
1-2 jalapeГ±o peppers, minced, seeds
discarded
1вЃ„2 red onion, minced
2 TB. lemon or lime juice
burners way down. Sprinkle the halibut with
the MURAL of FLAVOR and lemon juice. Make
a “pan” for the fish by taking a large piece of
aluminum foil and rolling up the four sides.
Place the fish in the pan and place over the
center burner (you want the grill temperature
around 350В°). Cook only until the fish starts to
flake, about 10 minutes. There is no need to
turn the fish over. For the salsa, combine the
mango, jalapeГ±o peppers, onion and lemon or
lime juice. Mix well and let stand for 10 minutes
before serving over the fish.

basket and grill over medium heat for 30-50
minutes. Check the potatoes; if they are
done everything is. If you don’t have a wire
basket, preheat the oven to 350В°, sear the
potatoes, peppers, onions and squash on
the hot grill, about 3 minutes per side, then
toss together along with the oil and spices
into a 9x13” pan. Cover with foil and cook

Raspberry Enlightenment
Our Creative Cook has been working for awhile now to come up with something to
use in rotation with balsamic vinegar to add tartness, sweetness and that dash of
flavor that so many of today’s quick cooked meals want. Raspberry Enlightenment
helps. Don’t think of it as a way to make things taste like raspberry; think of it as a
background flavor that makes everything taste better, especially vegetables, pasta,
salads and quickly-cooked meats. Give it a try. It is designed to help you explore your
own creativity. Ingredients: raspberries, sugar, water, tapioca starch, spices, citric acid.

Cynthia Clemens enjoys the company

ynthia Clemens learned to cook
at an early age.
“Both my parents worked full time
and my mother did not like to cook
much,” Cynthia recalls from her
home in Dundee, Michigan. “Putting
dinner on the table got me out of
doing the dishes,” she laughs.
“My best friend in college majored
in home economics and loved
cooking. She was Hungarian and
taught me to make Hungarian
goulash. That was the beginning of
my learning about ethnic foods and
spices.”
Cynthia adds, “My cousin and I
both love to cook. She does a lot of
entertaining and since she is the only

family I have living in Michigan, it’s
nice that we share that interest. I
have traveled all over the country
and lived in many places—from
Hawaii to Connecticut—and have
collected different recipes along the
way. Many are attached to memories
of when, where and how my life was
at those times.
“These days, my boyfriend Bob
and I enjoy grilling, sometimes even
in winter, snow permitting! This
marinade is one of our favorites. It’s
great on grilled pork, beef or
chicken.”
Grilling Marinade
Cynthia says, “I have a recipe to share with you. It is a
great marinade for beef, pork or chicken, especially if
it will be cooked on the grill.”

Shallots
The flavor of shallots is similar to a sweet cross between onions and
garlic, but more delicate, rich and complex. Shallots are used in France
for poultry, veal, salads, eggs and soups. In Indonesia, shallots are used
to add rich, sweet flavor to satay, soup & dipping sauces. If your recipe
calls for fresh shallots, use half as much as the recipe calls for. A В№/2 tsp. of
freeze-dried shallots equals one clove fresh shallots. From California.

Beef Soup Base and Seasoning
For rich beef stock use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Beef Base for each
cup (8 oz.) hot water. This is equivalent to 1 bouillon
cube, though Beef Base has more flavor and less salt.
Plain beef broth is wonderful when you’re under the
weather, or add noodles or vegetables for a quick lunch.
To “beef up” the flavor of soup, stew or gravy, add 2-3
tsp. Beef Base. For 2 quarts of soup or stew, add 2-3 tsp.
Beef Base. For gravy, add 1 tsp. Beef Base to 2-3 TB. beef
drippings to enhance the flavor of 2 cups gravy.

Chicken Soup Base and Seasoning
For rich chicken stock use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Chicken Base for
each cup (8 oz.) hot water. This is equivalent to 1
bouillon cube, though Chicken Base has more flavor
and less salt. Plain broth is great when you’re on a diet,
or add noodles and vegetables for a quick lunch. When
making rice, add 1 tsp. Chicken Base to the water for
rich flavor. Chicken base is used to fortify the flavor of
soup, stew or gravy. For 2 quarts of soup or stew, add
2-3 tsp. Chicken Base. For gravy, add 1 tsp. Chicken

of 2 cups gravy.

Ham Soup Base and Seasoning
Our soup bases are great for broth,soup
or gravy, but they also make great
seasonings. Try a little in rice, vegetables
and casseroles—wherever you need
a bit of extra flavor. Refrigeration is
recommended, but not necessary.
Ham Base is traditionally used to add rich, smoky ham
flavor to split pea or bean soup. For 2 quarts soup or
stew made with a ham bone, add 1 TB. Ham Base. For
soup without ham, use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Ham Base per cup
(8 oz.) water. For ham gravy, add 1 tsp. Ham Base to 2-3
TB. drippings from baked ham to enhance the flavor of
2 cups gravy. Ham Base gives a flavorful boost to plain
vegetables or rice, just add a bit to the cooking water.

Pork Soup Base and Seasoning
For rich roast pork flavored stock, use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Pork
Base for each cup (8 oz.) hot water. This is equivalent to
1 bouillon cube, though Pork Soup Base has more
flavor and less salt. Try making pork noodle soup for a
nice change of pace, just use pork instead of chicken or
beef, and add 1 TB. Pork Soup Base to 2 quarts soup to
enhance the flavor. For truly great gravy, add 1 tsp. Pork
Base to 2-3 TB. drippings from pork roast or pork
chops for 2 cups gravy.
Seafood Soup Base and Seasoning
For rich seafood stock, use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Seafood base for
each cup (8 oz.) hot water. Seafood stock is a great base
for chowder, gumbo or bisque, or to use in place of
clam juice. To make quick linguine with clam sauce,
cook 1 lb. pasta. While pasta is cooking, heat 2 TB. olive
oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2-4 minced
garlic cloves and 1 can clams, reserving the juice. Saute
for 2 minutes, add clam juice, В№/2 cup water and 1-2 tsp.
Seafood Base. Cook over medium heat 3-5 minutes,
stirring, until reduced by about half. Serve over cooked,
drained pasta.

though Turkey Base has more flavor and less salt. Plain
broth is good food for those times you’re under the
weather, or add vegetables or noodles for a quick lunch.
Turkey Base is often used to extend turkey gravy for
holiday dinners, or to fortify the flavor of dishes made
with turkey leftovers, such as soup, stew or casseroles.
For 2 quarts of soup or stew made with leftovers, add 23 tsp. Turkey Base. For gravy, add 2 tsp. Turkey Base with

Regarded as the world's best, Madagascar beans set
the standard for prime vanilla flavor.
3 beans #58430 $ 7.25
15 beans #58456 $ 28.65
Mexican Vanilla Beans
Mexican beans, while similar to Madagascar,
have a darker flavor that is perfect for vanilla
liqueur and coffee drinks.

Vanilla Sugar
The rich flavor of pure vanilla is like
no other. It just wouldn’t be dessert
without vanilla. Vanilla Beans from
Madagascar and Mexico, where there is
a long history of growing vanilla, have
wonderful, strong flavor, and are best
used in ice cream and custard, beverages
and cheesecake, where the liquid in the
dish helps extract the flavor of the bean.
Given that one whole vanilla bean is
usually used per recipe, it is easy to see
why Pure Vanilla Extract is the more
popular and economical choice—if
one can use economical and vanilla in
the same sentence. Using 1 teaspoon
per dessert, a 4 fluid ounce bottle of
extract will yield 24 desserts—more or
less anyway, given that most of us add
a bigger splash than the recipe calls for.
Even our Single Strength Vanilla Extract
is 10% stronger than the grocery store
variety, and our Double strength Vanilla
will give you twice as much vanilla
flavor. Vanilla Sugar is a favorite here
at Penzeys, but has also been made and
used for years and years by Grandmas
everywhere. It is made simply by
splitting a vanilla bean and placing it in
sugar until it becomes rich with vanilla
flavor, then removing the bean and using
the sugar in baking (replace 1 TB of the
regular sugar in the recipe with 1 TB
of Vanilla Sugar). We also love tossing
Vanilla Sugar with fresh fruit like
strawberries—after a few minutes even
kids think it is as good as a cookie.
Wash and cut fruit, leaving slightly damp, then toss
with Vanilla Sugar (1-2 TB per quart of strawberries, for
example) and let stand for a few minutes, then serve
plain or as a topper for cereal or ice cream. Vanilla
Sugar is an old-fashioned mix of real Vanilla Beans
aged in pure sugar, that was used in the old days
before Vanilla Extract. We’ve been blending and using
Vanilla Sugar in our coffee for a long time, and it tastes
great. Vanilla Sugar can be used in baking and candymaking, and is particularly nice where the flavor of the
vanilla bean should shine through, such as in icecream. Vanilla sugar is also the perfect sprinkle for
coffee and hot chocolate. Madagascar and Mexican
Vanilla Beans chopped, mixed and aged with white sugar.

Single Strength Vanilla
35% alcohol. Pure extract from the highest quality
100% premium Madagascar “Bourbon Islands” vanilla
beans. These beans have a rich and complex, smooth,
true flavor. The cool-perking process retains the bean's
full flavor, along with all of the desirable vanilla side
notes. With over 400 flavor components in every highquality vanilla bean, artificial vanilla (which contains
only one–synthetic vanillin) will never come close to
matching the wonderful richness of pure vanilla
extract. This extract is 10% stronger than the pure
vanilla extract sold in supermarkets, and has the great
Madagascar flavor. Ingredients: water, alcohol, sugar
and vanilla bean extractives.

Double Strength Vanilla
35% alcohol. Pure double strength vanilla extract made
from the highest quality Madagascar “Bourbon Islands”
vanilla beans. Compared to the single strength, twice as
many beans are used to make each gallon of extract
(about 200 beans). “Two-fold” vanilla extract has been
the secret ingredient of professional bakers for years. For
the amount of vanilla flavor specified in a recipe, use half
as much. When used this way, double strength vanilla
makes economic sense, as there is the equivalent of
twice as much vanilla per bottle. For unbeatably rich
vanilla flavor in baked goods and desserts, use the same
amount the recipe calls for. Ingredients: water, alcohol,
sugar and vanilla bean extractives.

Charles Chadwick
harles Chadwick of Nashville,
Tennessee, fondly remembers being
introduced to baking by his
grandmother Alice over 60 years ago.
In fact, he remembers it like it was
yesterday.
“It was in a small kitchen in
Linden, Alabama,” he recalls. “She
would always mix the brown sugar
and white sugar slowly, then the
butter slowly, then the eggs and so
on. Each step had to be done
perfectly. She used the best
chocolate and fresh butter and eggs.
But there are a number of
ingredients available today that she
did not have, such as Penzeys
incredible vanilla and cinnamon
from around the world.”
Charles has carried on the baking
tradition with his delicious variation
on chocolate chip cookies that are
chock-full of different chips. “I’ve
made this recipe for years,” he says.
“The cookies were a favorite treat
after my sons’ high school football
games.”
Athletes run in the Chadwick
family. Sons Erich, Phillipe and
Kristofer all played football. Charles
and Debbie’s son Chad was born
with cerebral palsy but he has
excelled in soccer and weightlifting
in the Special Olympics.
Two years ago, Charles turned his
penchant for baking into a labor of
love. “I started working at a not-forprofit organization here in
Nashville,” he says. “We train adults
with mental and physical disabilities.
Under my supervision, they
participate in most of the cookie-
Dawn Foster
I use Penzeys vanilla in virtually
everything I bake, and then some!”
confides Dawn Foster of Syracuse,
New York. “I’ve been known in my
family to give it to folks as a stocking
stuffer for Christmas because really,
what baker wouldn’t enjoy it? I come
from a long tradition of bakers with
many recipes handed down from
family members.”
Dawn was more than happy to
share her Aunt Velma’s tasty
Chocolate Cake and her own
Gingered White Chocolate Biscotti.
“About five years ago, I started
trying my hand at baking biscotti for
my husband Steve,” Dawn says. “He
likes the crisp, less-sugary, twicebaked cookies for breakfast dunked
in his coffee. So at the beginning of
each monthВ for the last five years,
I’ve baked biscotti for him, and if
he’s judicious it lasts him throughout

“I’ve collected numerous recipes
of variously flavored biscotti and
done some experimenting on
existing recipes as well, but his
hands-down favorite is the Gingered

(about 3вЃ„4 cup)
tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT

Preheat oven to 350В°. Combine the flour, sugar,

eggs and egg white and then add to the flour
mixture, stirring until well blended (dough will
be quite dry). Turn the dough out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead 7 or 8 times until it
holds together nicely. Shape the dough into a
16-inch-long roll. Place the roll on a baking sheet
coated with cooking spray, and flatten to a 1-inch
thickness. Bake at 350В° for 30 minutes. Remove the
roll from the baking sheet to a wire rack and let
cool for 3-5 minutes. Don’t cool completely or it
will be harder to slice.
Cut the roll diagonally into 24 (1вЃ„2 inch) slices and
place slices, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Use
a bread knife and cut gently. Broken pieces can
usually be pushed together and will bake back
together. Reduce oven temperature to 325В°, and
bake for 10 minutes. Turn the cookies over and
bake for an additional 10 minutes (the cookies
might be slightly soft in the center but will harden
as they cool). Carefully remove from baking sheet,
and let cool completely on wire rack.

Her two adopted sons and their
wives bring great joy to Gloria’s
life. From left to right: Samrith
and Pat Tuy, Gloria, Samphoas
and Samnang Yun.
One of the many cool things
about cooking is that it can take
you places. Sometimes it is a trip
to far-off lands, sometimes it is a
trip back home, and sometimes
it’s both.
We were reminded of that
recently when we received a handwritten letter from Gloria Mensah
of Brooklyn, New York, who
shared this story.
“When our two Cambodian
boys, Samrith and Samnang, came
to live with us, they were young
men who had lost their families.
They needed to learn to cook for
themselves, which was unusual in
the Cambodian culture, men
cooking.
“They were very good cooks
when they came to live with us,
and they preferred their kind of
food, the food they had grown up
with. So we bought a rice cooker
and they ate rice three times a day.
My mother and I told them to
make whatever they wanted, that
we would love it. The fried rice is
their recipe. I knew how to make

fried rice, but they added the
seasonings which make it special—
garlic, crushed red pepper, black
pepper, oyster sauce or a thick soy
sauce with a bit of sweetness to it.
“The boys had such a reverence
for rice, like we do with bread. It
was the food of their culture. They
had had so little to eat during the
last years of the war. I remember
that when they cooked, they
handled the rice with such reverence in the way they cooked it.
They didn’t let one grain go down
the drain.
“Those boys had had such a
disruption in their lives because of
the war. But they were so loving.
We gave them shelter, helped them
learn English and helped them
through college. And they were so
loving and giving in return. We
learned so much from each other
by sharing our cultures—and food
was a big part of it.”
Thanks for sharing, Gloria.
Samrith and Samnang’s Fried Rice
Gloria shares, “You can make a humble version of
this fried rice by using some extra foods from last
night’s dinner. Or you can choose just what you like
to make it a more elegant dish. Food doesn’t have to
be expensive to be good. This is an excellent use for
leftover rice.”

1вЃ„3 TB. oyster sauce or sweet soy sauce (Gloria
uses ABC brand)
tsp. MINCED GARLIC
tsp. POWDERED GINGER, optional
tsp. PENZEYS FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER
tsp. CRUSHED RED PEPPERS or CAYENNE
PEPPER (optional)
green onions, sliced on the angle—green
and white parts
Cup diced fresh pineapple (“A beautiful
way to balance salt/sweet”)
Cup roasted cashew nuts
Tip: To cook the eggs, whip them with a fork in a
small bowl. Add 1 tsp. of the canola oil to a small
omelet or other nonstick pan. Heat over medium
until oil is hot. Pour in egg to make a thin layer,
reduce heat to medium-low and cook without
stirring or flipping for 4-5 minutes until it looks
almost done. Slide out of the pan and roll up. Let
cool a bit and then thinly slice. Set aside to add to
the pan at the end of stir frying.
Heat a large pan or wok over high heat with the
remaining canola oil. When hot, add the shrimp or
meat, mushrooms, white onion and oyster or soy
sauce. Top with GARLIC, GINGER, PENZEYS FRESHLY
GROUND PEPPER and CRUSHED RED PEPPERS (if
using). Stir fry about 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the rice and cook, stirring, until heated
through, about another 4 minutes. Add green
onions, pineapple, egg slices and cashews, cook 1
final minute, and serve hot.

Whole Nutmeg An old European
belief is that as long as there is a
whole, sound nutmeg in the kitchen,
the marriage will also be sound.
Many whole nutmegs will be grated
and used throughout the marriage,
but one should always be left in the
kitchen whole.

Rosemary Leaves Around
the Middle Ages, rosemary
became the herb of lovers. It embodies the remembrance of all that is
good about love through the many
years of marriage.
Star Anise A beautiful, many-pointed
whole anise star has long been given
as a keepsake to the bridal couple in
parts of China where the anise trees
grow. It signifies both the spiritual
unity of the many points of the couple
coming together as one, and the tenaciousness of the rare and beautiful
star that stays whole and perfect.
