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 of our differences,
for the tremendous variety of what we cook,
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. Through our pages
we hope to share the greater family of human
kindness that we’ve found all cooks belong to.
Come along and join us.
Be ONE.
Ah, Thanksgiving, the day of cooks. Thanksgiving
is the only holiday where the whole thing can take
place within the embrace of your kitchen. It’s the day
of the year our kitchen comes closest to overflowing.
I made a promise to Jeri after our marriage to happily
combine our two families together for Thanksgiving at
our house. The promise was we would make enough
of everything to send everyone home with as many
leftovers as if they had cooked Thanksgiving dinner
themselves. So even though we are only cooking for
about 18, I do like to cook three turkeys. Well, maybe
two and a half. I cook the breast separately for the third
and use the rest to make stock for my gravy (see One
for the Road p. 62).
Three is just the right number of turkeys for this
catalog as we are featuring three great seasonings
for turkey. The very traditional Poultry Seasoning that
is the perfect blend of herbs for turkey, stuffing and
gravy. The traditional since 1975 to the Penzey family’s
Thanksgiving turkey, Bicentennial Rub—a colonial
style blend of great flavor and color that to our family
is Thanksgiving. And the not so traditional, but exciting
and bursting with flavor Bangkok Blend to bring a
sense of variety to your holiday table. Pick one, or with
three birds try them all. Your guests will be glad you
did.
What’s new this time is that we are introducing
an exciting new gift concept for the coming holiday
season. We call it the Mini, and even though it fits in
your hand and costs right next to nothing, the flavors
it packs are beyond imagination. Our amazing Garlic,
incredible Freshly Ground Pepper, the brand new Penzeys Cinnamon, and the always delicious, always free
from salt—but you would never know it—Mural of
Flavor. These are four jars that define the best in flavor;
four jars that define the Penzeys experience. This is a
gift that will both instantly, and dramatically, improve
the cooking of anyone you give it to, while at the same
time remarkably appearing small enough that no one
feels awkward accepting it. Great limited time introductory price. Buy a stack, hand them out freely.
В And enjoy this Thanksgiving. At some point make
sure you take a moment at the table to sit back, look
up, and enjoy all that your efforts have brought. Yes,
the convenience and cost savings of being able to
make good, tasty treats in your home whenever you
want is a big part of what cooking is all about, but
there really is more. Look around the table, see the
people in your life, see the joy in them being together.
Watch as the gravy disappears. I have found that each
time you cook life gets better, richer, more magical.
Cook one time and you will get thanks. Cook for a
lifetime and you will have so much to give thanks for.
Ah, Thanksgiving, the day of cooks.

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.

A must for South American, Caribbean, & Mexican cooking.
Arrowroot has long been used in making clear glazes for
fruit pies. Because of its superior thickening ability (use half
as much as flour) and clear look, arrowroot is excellent for
stir-fry sauce. To thicken sauces or gravies: Use 1-2 tsp.
(dissolved in a bit of cool water) 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, toss to coat food and serve.

Basil
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.

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 1-2
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: crushed brown
mustard, rosemary, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and sage.

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).

then be cut into two triangles if smaller pieces are

PHYLLO TIPS:
1) The most important thing about phyllo dough
is that it is very easy to work with when it is fresh,
but almost impossible when it is freezer burned
and dry, so you need to buy your phyllo in a place
where you know the turnover is high. We like
Athens brand. Luckily, you can purchase phyllo
dough at most large grocery stores.
2) When using phyllo dough, remember it is
paper-thin and will start to dry out immediately,
so be ready to cook when you open the package,
and keep the sheets you aren’t yet using covered
with a clean, damp cloth until needed.
3) Unopened packages of phyllo can be stored
frozen for about 2 months. Open packages can
be stored in the fridge for a few weeks if wrapped
back up tightly. Don’t try to re-freeze your phyllo;
that is where the trouble starts.

Pork Loin with Herb Crust
Sharon Howard confides, “I love to create new
dishes…and I really don’t measure when I
make my old favorites.”
Sharon Howard
I
love bringing friends and
family together over food,” writes
Sharon Howard of Oakville, Ontario.
“I always have the family dinner at
my house for Thanksgiving, which is
celebrated in October in Canada. It
is a celebration of the harvest. There
are usually 15-20 of us.
“I just enjoy feeding people,” she
adds. “The first time I ever cooked
Pork Loin with Herb Crust was for an
important client of my husband’s. I
always try at least one new recipe for
special company meals. Some work,
and some don’t. Thankfully, this one
did. It is the perfect fall meal and
uses many of my favorite dried
herbs.”
But it doesn’t take a special
occasion to get Sharon into the
kitchen. “My husband Clive leaves
the cooking to me except for a few
recipes which he considers his turf.
Otherwise, I cook and he cleans up,
which suits me just fine,” she
chuckles.
“My first real cooking experience
came while I was in college. I was in
my early 20s and very broke. I lived
with three roommates, none of
whom had any interest in cooking. I
struck a deal with them that I would
do the shopping and cooking for all
of us and in return I wouldn’t have
to pay for groceries. I had to learn
how to stretch the dollars while still
making good tasting food.”
See spice Index on page 61
Sharon shares, “This recipe can be made with a
regular loin of pork but a rack makes quite an
elegant presentation. If you cook a rack, ask the
butcher to remove the chine bone so the roast
carves easily between the bones. This also works
well with lamb.”

Preheat oven to 350В°. Combine the olive oil
with the garlic, SALT, BASIL, THYME, PARSLEY,
ROSEMARY and COARSE GRIND BLACK PEPPER.
Rub the pork all over with olive oil and herb
mixture. Place the pork on a rack and roast at
350В° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a meat
thermometer inserted into the thickest portion
registers 150В° (Sharon prefers 140-145В°). The
temperature will rise about 10 degrees while
resting. If you prefer a higher than 160В° final
temperature, cook longer as desired. Transfer the
pork to a serving tray. Cover and let rest while
making the sauce.
For the sauce, pour the pan drippings into a
skillet. Add the butter; cook over medium heat
until the butter melts. Whisk in the flour until
smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the
stock, tomato paste, SAGE and PENZEYS FRESHLY

whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until the

bones and serve the sauce over the pork, under

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.

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

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

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.

also add a touch of celery. Whole celery seed is used in
salad dressings, soups and pickling recipes, and
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.

Penzeys 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 China cinnamon are the sweetest
and strongest varieties, with Korintje
cinnamon 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 governmentprotected 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
cinnamon 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.
Finally, all of the goodness of all our
cinnamons...in one jar.
Penzeys Cinnamon
Now you can have it all. Just the right mix of our four
fabulous cinnamons to bring the best of each to
everything you bake. Put the shaker right on the table!
Sprinkle on cereal and fresh fruit, toast and applesauce,
rice and popcorn. A jar full of smiles. Hand-mixed from:
China cinnamon, Vietnamese cinnamon, Korintje
cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon.

Beth Glick and husband Bob have many
travel adventures. Here, everyone is all smiles
as two cultures come together.
Beth Glick
B
eth Glick of Sequim,
Washington, is known as “the Cake
Lady.”
“I’ve served Gingersnap Cake at
large church dinners for several
years, and at gatherings for family
and friends. The cake always gets
rave reviews—I’ve had many requests
for the recipe,” Beth says.
“I found this recipe in my GreatAunt Peg’s hand-written recipe book
after her death. She was a master
cake baker…and I guess I’m carrying
on that tradition. She baked cakes
for everyone, including the valets
who parked cars at the building
where she lived.
“I learned to cook and bake from
her and my paternal grandmother.
Both were 100 percent Italian and
wonderful cooks. I have fond
memories of visiting my grandmother and waking up to fresh bread
that she would bake very early in the
morning for our breakfast toast.
“On Saturday mornings, we would
come down to the kitchen to find
long strands of homemade pasta
hanging over the backs of the
kitchen chairs to dry out for Sunday’s
dinner. Grandmother rolled her
dough by hand, using a dowel.”
It’s the same kind of tender loving
care that Beth takes when she makes
her cakes.
Aunt Peg’s Gingersnap Cake
This recipe from Beth’s aunt is pretty and very
yummy, perfect for a holiday gathering.

1вЃ„3
Cups all-purpose flour
Cup brown sugar, packed
tsp. baking powder
tsp. baking soda
tsp. salt
tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON
tsp. POWDERED GINGER
tsp. GROUND NUTMEG or MACE
tsp. GROUND CLOVES
Cup molasses
Cup vegetable oil (Beth uses canola)
Cup cool water
eggs
Cup butter or margarine
Cup brown sugar, packed
Cup warm tap water
Preheat oven to 325В°. Grease and flour a 12-cup
fluted tube pan. Take your time and do this well,
because tube cakes can be tricky to get out of
the pan, and if the pan is fully greased it’s no
problem at all. In a large bowl, whisk together the
flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and
SPICES. Blend in the molasses, oil, water and eggs.
Beat well. Pour into the pan. Bake at 325° for 5060 minutes until done. It is done when it doesn’t
jiggle and you can see by looking into the cracks
it isn’t gooey inside.
Remove the cake from the oven and make
the TOPPING immediately. Melt the butter or
margarine in a medium, microwave-safe bowl
on high for 1-11вЃ„2 minutes or in a small pan over
medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and water
to make a smooth syrup. With the hot cake still
in the pan, deeply prick the surface with a thin
knife or bamboo skewer about every inch around.
Pour the hot syrup over the cake. “Roll” the pan
from side to side to be sure the top of the cake is
coated (Beth saves a small amount of the glaze to
brush on the cake where it didn’t coat the outside
after she turns it out onto the serving plate,
usually right on the top and in the center).
Cool the cake in the pan for about 15-20 minutes,
then turn out onto a serving plate. Don’t cool too
long or the glaze will stick to the cake and pan.
Serve with warm LEMON SAUCE or a dollop of
fresh whipped cream.
Lemon Sauce (makes 2 Cups):
1вЃ„2
Cup sugar
2
TB. cornstarch
1вЃ„4
tsp. salt
2
Cups water
1вЃ„4
Cup butter or margarine
1
TB. finely grated lemon zest
3
TB. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
(1 large lemon)
1-2
drops yellow food coloring, optional
In a small saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch
and salt. Gradually stir in the water. Cook, stirring
constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils.
Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat;
stir in the butter or margarine, lemon zest, lemon
juice and food coloring, if using. The sauce can be
made ahead of time and gently reheated on low
for 5 minutes.

Surrounded by family, Faye Kerns celebrates
her granddaughter’s high school graduation.
Faye Kerns
I
t’s thanks to my husband
Quentin that I got interested in
cooking,” confides Faye Kerns of
Sierra Madre, California. “He would
eat ANYTHING! I kid you not.”
She recalls, “One time I made
something so terrible, the kids and I
ended up eating peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches. When Quentin got
home, the kids were sitting with
their elbows on the table all wideeyed to see what Daddy would do
when he tried my new dish. He ate
it, but later in private, he asked me
never to make it again!
“If it hadn’t been for his attitude,
I’m not sure I would have enjoyed
cooking. He was my biggest
encouragement.
“My mother didn’t allow anyone
in her kitchen when I was a young
girl,” adds Faye, “so when Quentin
and I married, I muddled through
learning to cook. I learned by trial
and error. The looks on the kids’
faces told me when something had
turned out pretty good.
“I do like to experiment,” says
Faye. “I wondered what would
happen if I added crystallized ginger
to my gingersnap cookie recipe.
Now these Spice Cookies are my
favorite.”

Chinese Five Spice Powder
As America redefines its diet, increasing consumption
of vegetables and starches, and cutting fats and meat
portions, it makes sense to borrow from those who
have cooked this way throughout history. Chinese stirfry is quick, easy and very versatile, combining well
with all meats and vegetables. Hand-mixed from: China
cinnamon, star anise, anise seed, ginger and cloves.

peppers), lactose, salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, horseradish
powder, sugar, garlic powder, parsley, black pepper,

Chives
Freeze-drying allows chives to maintain a very closeto-fresh flavor and texture, and bright green color. Even
the very small amount of moisture on a salad will
rehydrate them. Give a hint of garden herb freshness to
omelets, chicken soup, baked potatoes and vegetables.

Cilantro
Cilantro is one of the main, distinctive flavors in Mexican
cooking, especially in salsa, soups, and salads. Cilantro is
sometimes called Chinese parsley, as it is also used heavily
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.

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.

Gerald Pearson is festively dressed for a
Renaissance Fair as he plays his soprano
recorder.
Gerald Pearson
A
college history class led to a
love of Indian food for Gerald
Pearson of Muscatine, Iowa.
“In 1960 I was a senior at Cal Tech
taking a course in the history of
India and Pakistan,” Gerry writes. “A
guest professor from Berkeley visited
our class and then cooked an
elaborate Indian dinner for us.
“The professor served a variety of
dishes, one of which was curry
cauliflower. That was the first time I
ever liked cauliflower. I already had a
taste for hot and spicy Mexican food.
The curry was similar yet wonderfully
different. The following Monday I
bought an Indian cookbook and my
cooking took off from there.
“For the last 20 years I’ve been
significantly modifying recipes. I like
to cook in large quantities because I
take the time to fiddle around with
the ingredients to make a dish the
way it should be. I’ll tweak the recipe
and make notes for next time.
“My wife Sue and I eat Curried
Chicken and Vegetables with
Turmeric Rice for supper about once
a week. It’s strongly spicy, like a very
traditional Indian curry, yet it’s not
extremely hot, so most folks can
enjoy it. I myself eat it with a hot
Indian pickle to ramp up the heat.”

Not All Curries Are
Hot
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...
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,

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.

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,

SatГ© 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.

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 and SatГ© Seasoning.
Sweet Curry Powder
The perfect first curry powder. Great flavor, little heat,
nice for simple chicken curry. For baked chicken or fish,
use В№/2 tsp. per lb. for rich (not too spicy) flavor. Add 1
tsp. to a pot of chicken soup for flavor and color. For a
curried pasta or green salad dressing, saute 1-2 tsp. in
2 TB. olive oil for 3 minutes over low heat, blend into 1
cup yogurt or В№/2 cup vinegar and oil. Hand-mixed from:
turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, ginger, nutmeg,
fennel, cinnamon, white & black pepper, cardamom,
cloves, cayenne.

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. Try it on baked, broiled or grilled chicken
kabobs, and sautГ©ed chicken or fish. Hand-mixed from:
coriander, cumin, sweet paprika, garlic, ginger,
cardamom and saffron.

Vindaloo Seasoning
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.

we are supposed to be eating more of, from fish to
vegetables. Bursting with the rich flavor of shallots and
chives. Use 1 tsp. per pound to season baked chicken

chicken or tuna chunks with 1 cup of Fox Point dip.
Because we do not use any anti-caking agents in this

Rehydrate garlic before adding to tart foods like

from developing to its full strength).

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.

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.

Michael and daughter Caitlyn share special
moments together along with Grandpa
George on Father’s Day.
Michael Gallacher
Michael Gallacher of Moscow,
Pennsylvania, created this Turkey
Gumbo recipe to come home to
after a winter day spent cross-country
skiing. “It’s great for warming the
body,” he says.
“I’ve used this particular soup as a
starter at several dinner parties my
wife Chris and I have had. I generally
cut back on the cayenne pepper if I
am serving it to guests. It has gone
over great and is a real crowd pleaser
on a winter night.”
Michael enjoys cooking not just
for the wonderful warm feeling of
sitting down to a hearty meal on a
cold night, but for the process of
cooking too.
“The thing I like best about
cooking is the sense of completion,”
says Michael, who is an attorney. “My
job typically involves moving papers.
When I arrive at work, there are files
on my desk with lots of paper. When
I leave at the end of the day, there
are different files on my desk with
lots of papers. Rarely do I start
something in the morning and
complete it by the end of the day.
“Cooking allows me to create
something from nothing and have a
finished product within a relatively
short time. I then get to enjoy that
finished product and get to watch
others enjoy it as well.”
Spicy Turkey Gumbo
This gumbo is a meal in itself. It is a nice rib-sticking
food on any cold fall/winter night, but is especially
great made using the leftover Thanksgiving turkey
for stock. If you like it a little less hot, cut back on the
cayenne. It also makes a great starter for a dinner
party. Just be sure to give small portions or your
guests won’t eat anything else.

qt. (4 cups) turkey stock with turkey
meat (see NOTE)
lb. small, shelled shrimp
large BAY LEAVES
salt to taste
Cup cooked rice or Veggie Rice (go to
www.penzeys.com for this recipe)
In a medium pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the flour to make a paste or roux. Cover and
cook over very low heat for 11вЃ„2 hours, stirring
every 10-15 minutes. This may seem like a long
time, but it turns a beautiful dark brown and
gives the gumbo great color and flavor. It doesn’t
take much effort; just don’t forget it’s there!
In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over high
heat. Add the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes,
stirring constantly. Add the bell pepper, onion
and celery, along with the THYME, CUMIN,
CAYENNE, and PEPPER and cook for 3-5 minutes,
stirring constantly.
When the roux is ready, slowly stir in the turkey
stock. Add the contents of the other pot. Add the
shrimp. Stir in the BAY LEAVES and salt. Cook for
an additional 10-15 minutes. Add the rice just
before serving.
NOTE: Michael usually uses Thanksgiving
leftovers to make a nice, meat-filled, rich stock.
Just leave some meat on the bones, cover with
water, and let simmer for several hours. Strain,
save some meat—or add some already sliced
meat that was leftover from the dinner, and you
are ready to make gumbo!
Prep. time: 2 hours for chopping, sautГ©ing, stock
making and roux cooking

Indian Black Peppercorns
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.
Beef Stew From Greece
Faye Kerns writes, “We’re not Greek, but we all like ethnic foods. This stew has always been a popular dish.
I’ve even made it for company.” For another delicious recipe from Faye, turn to page 16.

vegetables and seafood. Dried green peppercorns can
be ground in a peppermill like black peppercorns or

Black Peppercorns
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.

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

Special Grinds
Pepper Blends
Ground White Pepper
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.

Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
One of the great, classic blends. Originally it was
used primarily for fish: baked, broiled, grilled or
fried. It is equally good, and just as popular, on
chicken. Sprinkle on 1-2 tsp. per pound, before
breading, if desired. Great for turkey or duck
breast, pork roast, chops or cutlets and all cuts of
veal (especially stuffed, baked veal breast). It's the
best spice possible for scrambled eggs and
omelets, and a must for catfish. Hand-mixed from:
salt, Special Extra Bold black pepper, citric acid,
lemon peel, garlic and minced green onion. For saltfree lemon-pepper, see Sunny Spain.

possibilities are endless. Contains salt and Szechuan

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.

Jacki Keck and her grandson, Ian, whip up a
batch of cookies. He’s a great helper!
Jacki
Keck
The kitchen was a
wonderful kaleidoscope of seasonal
sights and smells during the holidays
when extended family came to visit,”
recalls Jacki Keck of Williston, North
Dakota. “Some 30-40 people
gathered for dinner at my
grandparents’ house.”
She adds, “Mom is 94 now, but I’ll
never forget the ditties she recited
while I watched and learned by her
side as she worked in the kitchen.
“A stint in the Army sent my first
husband and me to the East coast,
where we met friends from other
countries who stimulated my interest
in trying new dishes. While living in
Arlington, Virginia, I came across a
delicious dish and developed this
recipe for Allegheny Cabbage Rolls.
“On-the-job-training and �survival
cooking’ were themes of my second
marriage as I became an instant
mother to Jim’s son and daughter.
We added three boys, two of them
twins, and they all grew up to enjoy
cooking.
“When just the three boys were
home, we rotated responsibilities for
Thanksgiving dinner. One learned to
make the turkey with stuffing, one
created the side dishes and the third
was in charge of dessert. The best
pumpkin pie I’ve ever eaten was
made by one of the twins �from
scratch.’
“Now Jim and I are the only ones
left at home. We still have occasional
family gatherings—and I love to hear
people say �something smells
wonderful’ as they walk in the door!”

Prepare the cabbage rolls by cutting the core
out of the cabbage, then carefully peeling the
leaves away (hopefully) in un-torn pieces. �Soften’
the individual cabbage leaves by dipping them
in the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then
spoon about 1вЃ„4 cup of the meat mixture in the
center of each leaf. Starting at the stem end, roll
the cabbage leaf around the meat �log’ and place
it across the bottom of the casserole. Repeat with
additional leaves/mixture until a layer is created.
If apples are added to this dish, lay about half of
them on top of the logs and sprinkle with a little
more CINNAMON. Spread about 1вЃ„2 cup of cream
mixture on top of the rolls and then prepare a
second layer. Top with more apples and cream
and create another top layer.
Spoon remaining cream mixture on top of the
layers and cover the casserole. Bake at 350В° for
11вЃ„2 hours. Test for fork-tender cabbage. Have
additional plain sour cream handy for serving.
Note: We baked our rolls in a single layer and
didn’t use all the sour cream topping. We used
about half to make a thick line down the rolls
and served the rest on the side, making for a bit
lighter dish and eliminating the need for extra
sour cream on the side. They looked pretty too!

Dear Bill,
Thanks so much for your note
in the Summer catalog. Living in
Michigan, we haven’t had much
good press lately. My husband
Steve, who is from the metro Detroit area, gets very defensive
upon seeing/hearing all the negativity in the news. Detroit and this
whole state are so much more
than the car companies—we love
it here!
And we love visiting the Penzeys
store in Detroit. When we married
almost two years ago, Steve
brought Penzeys spices into my
life. I was a little skeptical looking
at all those jars with their “plain”
labels, but it didn’t take long to
win me over. I’m now experimenting with curry and other spices
that my bland taste buds weren’t
even aware of before I met Steve.
When we moved into a new house
recently, we needed to make room
for our spices—and now they are a
showpiece in our kitchen. People
ask all the time about them and
where we get them.
So thank you for your kind
words regarding Michigan and
know that you have plenty of customers here! –Becky T.K.
Thank you so much every
month for your catalog. Not only
do I love the coupon for the free
spice, but I have tried many of the
reader recipes—and they have
been a huge success.
We especially loved the Grilled
Veggie Pasta seasoned with Pasta
Sprinkle in the Harvest catalog.
My husband is on a very strict, nosalt diet and couldn’t get enough
of this dish!
Keep the catalog, coupons and
recipes coming!
–Christine P.
Dear Bill Penzey—
Finally! I was able to visit your
store in Jacksonville, Florida. I live
in Gainesville, but hubby needed
to go to Jacksonville, about 85
miles away, which is how I got to
see your store. The layout was
beautiful!
I wanted to see everything,
which I did, but hurriedly. Wish!
Wish! We’d get a store here in
Gainesville. Love your spices and
your wonderful vanilla! –Ginnie D.
Dear Penzeys,
A friend of mine introduced
me to Penzeys Spices years ago
and I’m one of the lucky cooks
who benefit from using these quality spices.
The photo shows my mother,
Julia, 97 years old, from Kingston,
Massachusetts, showing her greatgranddaughter Julia, age 6, how to
make some of her specialty dishes.
Happiness is when we’re able to
enjoy memorable family gatherings surrounded with delicious
home cooking.
I like to tell people, “Don’t settle for less than the best in your
recipes—spice it up with Penzeys!” –Rosemarie P.
We four sisters, the “Slater
girls,” have all come home to roost
in Florida again after many years
of living in different parts of the
country.
Even though many miles separated us through the years, we always made a point of getting together at least once a year for a
“Girls’ Weekend”…usually at the
beach or in the mountains and
even once on a two-week jaunt to
Ireland.
Of course, one of the main topics of discussion was sharing recipes of newly found favorites. It was
Sally who introduced the rest of us
to the Penzeys Spice catalog many
years ago. We love exploring the
catalog for new ideas, recipes and,
of course, for gifts to give to the
cooks in our lives. –Nancy L.

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.

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.

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.
What could be better than two types of Northwoods
Seasoning? Northwoods Fire has the same great flavor as
the original, with the added kick of smoky ground
Chipotle and hot Cayenne red pepper. A wonderful
seasoning for all grilled foods—steaks, fish, chicken and
chops, even grilled vegetables. Hand-mixed from: coarse
flake salt, paprika, ground chipotle pepper, black pepper,
cayenne red pepper, thyme, rosemary and granulated garlic.
Spanish CoupГ© Saffron is the top grade of the
Spanish Saffron crop. Extra hand labor is used to
remove every bit of the yellow saffron style material,
leaving 100% beautiful pure red saffron threads.
Spanish CoupГ© Saffron is a truly excellent crop,
especially nice for the traditional Spanish dishes.

Spanish Superior Saffron is the most widely
available saffron and is a very good crop. Spanish
Superior Saffron has a bit of the yellow style
material left attached to some of the saffron
stigmas, so it is not quite as strong as Spanish
CoupГ© or Kashmir Indian Saffron.

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.

Perry
hen Matthew and I had three
boys, I was disappointed that they
might not share my love of cooking,”
writes Heather Perry of East
Bridgewater, Massachusetts. “But
they proved me wrong. They could
make homemade cookies when they
were preschool age. Kyle, 11, once
brought cookies to preschool and
when the teacher complimented him
he said, �I’ll get you the recipe.’ The
teacher got a real kick out of that.
“I learned to cook as a young
teen,” Heather adds. “My mother
worked, so I made dinner. I grew up
on a farm and we grew lots of
vegetables. I have always loved the
idea of creating something delicious
out of ordinary ingredients. My
mother’s motto was �if you can read,
you can cook,’ which was very
encouraging.”

Turkey and Potatoes
A traditional holiday dinner, roast turkey is also nice
for any family get-together or Sunday party. This is
a simple, bountiful meal that everyone loves–and
there will be leftovers, too. For a quick and easy
dinner, use a turkey breast or half a turkey. For a
large family meal, get the big bird so there will be
plenty of leftovers, even after everyone has stuffed
themselves.
Turkey

2-4
2-4
whole fresh turkey (12-16 lbs.)
TB. vegetable oil or melted butter
TB. BICENTENNIAL RUB or POULTRY
SEASONING
“Butterflying” the turkey is a wonderful way
to have the turkey cook faster and be evenly
browned and cooked all at once—no fearing the
breasts will dry out before the thighs are done. To
butterfly the bird, use a large, heavy bread knife
(our choice) or really heavy-duty kitchen shears.
While the bird is still in the sink after washing,
turn it over and saw away at the back along both
sides of the spine from the bottom up, removing
the whole backbone. Use the backbone for stock.
It takes some effort but is well worth it! Once the
backbone is removed, turn the turkey over onto a
roasting pan, and push down with all your weight
on the breastbone. The turkey will suddenly go
flat with the thigh and leg portion sticking out—
see photo. Season and roast as usual at 325В°, and
you can figure the bird will be fully cooked in one
hour less than if you had left it whole.
If you prefer to roast the bird whole, the
directions are to the right.
Creamy Mashed Potatoes

for the average family. Use the larger amount for
8 people, or for a potato and gravy loving family
like the Penzeys.

the morning of the dinner)
Turkey: Remove neck and giblets from the
cavity of the turkey and discard or freeze for
another recipe. Wash turkey, pat dry. Rub with
the vegetable oil or melted butter, season heavily
with BICENTENNIAL RUB or POULTRY SEASONING.
Place turkey in a large roasting pan with a rack,
cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready
to cook.
Potatoes: Peel and quarter potatoes. Place in
a kettle of water large enough to cover them
and refrigerate. If the raw potatoes have been
refrigerated overnight, change the water in the
morning.
Cooking
Turkey: A turkey takes roughly 15 minutes per
pound to roast. 20 minutes per pound works
for a breast or half turkey; a 12 lb. bird will take
about 3 hours. These are approximate guidelines,
and many people will cook a bird longer. We
tend to find turkey always cooks faster than we
think, so we rely on a watchful eye and a meat
thermometer–which should read 160-170˚
inserted in the thick thigh meat. The nice thing
about this meal is that the potatoes will hold
nicely if the turkey needs an extra bit of time,
and the turkey will stay warm if it is done first.
If the turkey is done before everything else, just
remove it from the oven, cover it with a clean dish
towel, and let it rest. It should rest before carving
for 10 minutes anyway, and it will still be warm
for up to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375В°.
Uncover the turkey and place in the oven. Roast
for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to
325В°. Baste the turkey every 15 minutes or so.
Potatoes: About 1 hour before dinner, fill a heavy
4 quart pot 2вЃ„3 full with water, add 1 tsp. salt,
and bring to a rolling boil (this will take 10-15
minutes). Add the potatoes. Bring the potatoes
back to a slow boil over medium-high heat. Once
the potatoes are boiling, they will be done in
15-20 minutes (fairly tender when pierced with
a fork). Drain the potatoes (reserve the water for
the gravy) and return to the pot. Cover and return
to the stove with the heat off for a few minutes so
the potatoes will dry. Add GARLIC, WHITE PEPPER,
sour cream, milk, and salt, then mash with a
hand masher or whip with a beater, depending
on the texture you prefer (a mixer will create
fine, pureed potatoes, hand-mashing will yield
chunkier, denser potatoes). When mashed, cover
the potatoes tightly and leave on the back burner
of the stove until ready to serve (it is warm there
even with the burner turned off ).
Remove the turkey from the oven when the
thermometer has popped out, the juices run
clear when pierced in the thigh with a knife, or a
meat thermometer reads 160Лљ. Place the turkey
on a platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before
carving, which is just the amount of time needed
to prepare gravy. For our favorite gravy recipe,
see page 62.

Caraway Carrots
Roasted carrots are really great—the problem is
they take a long time to cook, and eating hard
half-cooked carrots or having the rest of the dinner
get overcooked waiting on the carrots aren’t great
options. This method turns out tasty roast carrots in
45 minutes or so.
1 lb. carrots
2 TB. butter
1 tsp. CARAWAY SEED
1вЃ„2 tsp. DILL SEED
1вЃ„4 tsp. GRANULATED GARLIC
2-3 TB. RASPBERRY ENLIGHTENMENT
Preheat oven to 350В°. If you are cooking
something else too, like a roast, the carrots
are easy; they can cook at pretty much any
temperature. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Peel
the carrots, remove both ends, and cut into 2-3”
pieces. If the carrots are really thick, cut them
in half lengthwise too. Cook the carrots in the
boiling water for 7-10 minutes, depending on
how big and thick the chunks are. They should
not be soft, they should be about half cooked.
Drain. Place the butter in a glass pie plate and
melt it in the oven. Add the CARAWAY and DILL
SEED to the butter. Partially crush the spices with
a mortar and pestle or the back of a heavy spoon
first if desired. Mix the spices and butter well,
then add the carrots. Toss to coat, drizzle with
RASPBERRY ENLIGHTENMENT, and place in the
oven. Stir every 15-20 minutes. The carrots should
be deliciously glazed and fully cooked but not
mushy in about 40 minutes. Try one after half an
hour and see how they’re doing. The carrots can
be pulled from the oven and covered with foil
if they are done before the main dish; they will
be happy and warm resting for quite some time
before serving.

as much as cooking!
Dena Martin
O
ur home is always bursting with
friends and family during holiday
time,” says Dena Martin of SedroWoolley, Washington.
“It’s not unusual for us to have 35
dinner guests for a holiday meal. It
takes me a week to prepare our feast
and by the time Monday comes back
around I’m exhausted!” she
confides.
“Our �turkey day’ begins with
Cranberry Coffee Cake. I throw a
couple in the oven before I begin
working on the turkey, and everyone
snacks on them throughout the day.
“Everyone is really good about
helping out and getting everything
on the table. Guests bring side
dishes, my daughter Christina and a
family friend, Bruce, are in charge of
the mashed potatoes, my husband
carves the turkey and prime rib and
then gathers up all the kids, and I’m
baking pies the day before from
sunup ’til sundown.”
Dena smiles as she recalls a
treasured memory of her son Jeremy
taking a basket of Herb Dinner Rolls
outside to guests instead of placing
them on the table to be served with
dinner. “As you can imagine, things
can get very hectic in my kitchen just
before we sit down to eat. I don’t
always have time to supervise what
everyone is doing; fortunately I
always make about six batches of
rolls, so we had plenty.”

Herb Dinner Rolls
The flavor and texture of freshly baked rolls really can’t
be beat, and Dena’s roll recipe is wonderful, even for
inexperienced bread bakers.
11вЃ„2 tsp. salt
41вЃ„2-51вЃ„2 Cups bread flour, divided
2 TB. chopped fresh herbs (or 1 TB. dried
herbs—see NOTE)
1 Cup milk
1вЃ„4 Cup butter (1вЃ„2 stick)
1вЃ„3 Cup sugar
2 pkgs. dry yeast (not instant)
2 eggs
2 TB. melted butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt with 11вЃ„2
cups of the bread flour and the herb mixture; set
aside. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter and
sugar until lukewarm. Remove from the heat and add
yeast. Stir and let stand 5 minutes to make sure the
yeast is active—it will be foamy and brown. With a
mixer at low speed, gradually beat the liquid into the
dry ingredients. Turn up to medium speed and beat
for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the bowl. Beat
in the eggs and about 1вЃ„2 cup of the bread flour to
make a thick batter; continue beating for 2 minutes.
Stir in enough bread flour to make a soft dough. The
amount of flour needed can vary depending on the
heat and humidity of the day. Usually 5 cups is about
right. If you are unsure, use 41вЃ„2 cups and add more
while you are kneading if the dough is sticky.
If you are using a stand mixer, you can continue
beating the dough for approximately 5-7 minutes. If
not, turn the dough onto a lightly-floured board and
knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 10
minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball and turn into a large
greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place
until doubled, approximately 45–65 minutes. See
TIP. Punch down the dough, transfer to a lightlyfloured board and cut in half; cover one half while
working with the other. Cut each half into 12 equal
pieces and shape into balls. Place about 2 inches
apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise
until doubled, about 25 minutes. Once you have
completed the first sheet of 12 rolls and covered it
and moved it to a warm rising place start with the
other half.
Preheat oven to 400В°. Once the rolls have risen, brush
the tops with the melted butter. Bake for 10 minutes
or until lightly browned.
NOTE: Decrease herb amount by half if using dried
herbs. Dena’s family’s favorite herb mixture is
chopped thyme and rosemary.
TIP: To get a good rise, put boiling water into an
appropriately-sized pan and place the bowl or baking
dish on top, cover and let rise. This is a great tip when
you’re short on time or if the inside temperature
is a little chilly. Also, these rolls can be shaped into
whatever shape you want. You would just need to
adjust your baking time.
Nutmeg
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.

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.

Oregano
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.

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.

A really good and healthy thing going on
with food right now is that people are
using less salt. We want to be a part of
this. Going forward we will continue to
sell reasonably priced generic salts of the
earth and sea, but we will no longer be
selling the higher priced specialty salts. I
feel things have gotten to a point where
the specialty salts are glamorizing the use
of salt and, with that, encouraging people
to use more of it. I have also found that
along with the marketing of specialty salt
has come a great deal of misinformation,
including claims that some salts don’t
affect your health like others do. This is
just not true and not something we want
to be a part of. Salt is salt, it really is, and it
tastes no different no matter where it
comes from.
With our belief that cooking comes from
caring for those around you we feel part
of that is caring for the well-being of the
people we cook for. We all have our own
relationship with salt and I respect that,
but as a cook and as a business I feel so
much better about working to cut back
on the use of salt rather than encouraging
the use of more. I hope this makes sense
to you,

Shallots
Tarragon
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.
(net 8.0 oz.) #90186 $ 8.39
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
Base to 2-3 TB. chicken drippings to enhance the flavor
of 2 cups gravy.
(net 8.0 oz.) #90281 $ 8.39
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.
(net 8.0 oz.) #90586 $ 8.39
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.
(net 8.0 oz.) #90986 $ 8.39
Turkey Soup Base and Seasoning
For rich turkey stock, use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Turkey Base for
each cup hot water. This is equivalent to 1 bouillon cube,
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
4-5 TB. turkey drippings for 3 cups gravy.
(net 8.0 oz.) #90386 $ 8.39
Vegetable Soup Base and Seasoning
Richly flavorful and completely meatless. Make your
own flavorful broth for soups and stews, just add 1 tsp.
to a cup of hot water. Throw a little in the pot to season
pasta and rice, great to add a little oomph to vegetable
casseroles and plain steamed veggies. Wonderful for
poaching fish. Rich roasty carrots form the base of our
new Vegetable Soup base, along with powdered
onions, potatoes and tomatoes. For full ingredients and

chicken and fish. The rich sweet flavor of basil and oregano with the added zest of
garlic, bell pepper and black pepper. Round it off with a touch of fennel, and who
needs salt? Perfect for every vegetable, from asparagus to zucchini. We especially love
it sprinkled on fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob, snap peas and green beans. Also
makes a great salad dressing for green salads and hearty veggies on the grill, and use
it to marinate fish fillets, lean pork, and boneless/skinless chicken as well! Hand-mixed
from: basil, oregano, red bell pepper, garlic, thyme, fennel, black pepper, anise. To make oil &
vinegar salad dressing: Cover 1 TB. Tuscan Sunset Seasoning with 1 TB. water, let
stand a few minutes. Add В№/3 cup olive oil and В№/4 cup balsamic vinegar, stir. Add 1-2 tsp.
prepared Dijon-style mustard, if desired—it helps vinegar and oil dressings stay

Madagascar Vanilla Beans
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.
3 beans #58630 $ 7.25
15 beans #58656 $ 28.65
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.

Michael
Zionts
People say that my kids and I
make the Best Brownies in the
Universe,” writes Michael Zionts from
Buffalo, New York. “Everyone who
has ever tasted them has been
amazed. They are soft, filled with
chocolate and delicious.
“My kids love making the brownies.
Isabella, Sophia and Sam must have
made them a hundred times and
each batch is better than the last.
Baking is something we can all do
together. It is a way that our family
communicates and shares love.
“Isabella, who is 12 years old, says,
�I don’t remember a time when we
weren’t baking something. When
we’re making the brownies there is
always something for everyone to do,
even if it’s just helping to lick the
bowl, which really is the best part! We
started breaking the eggs when we
were five years old. If a tiny piece of
shell fell into the bowl, Daddy taught
us to use an eggshell half to remove
the piece from the bowl. It was part
of the experience.
“�My brother Sam learned to do
addition using chocolate chips or
chippies as we call them. Sam likes
subtraction much better because
that means he is eating the
chippies,’” Isabella laughs.
Cautions Michael, “We have
made these brownies hundreds of
times, but be warned—once you
make them, people will ask for
them again and again.”
Best Brownies Ever
Michael and his kids are very proud of their brownie
recipe. Give it a try and you’ll see why.

Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into the pan and
smooth evenly. Bake at 350В° on the middle rack

jiggles sloppily, put it back in the oven and bake for
another 2-4 minutes. Keep doing this until cracks
just start to appear and the middle JUST stops
jiggling. Remove the brownies from the oven and
let cool. When we made the brownies, 40 minutes
was about right for the total baking time.

tsp. salt, or to taste
tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON

Cup pecans
Preheat oven to 400В°. Cover a heavy baking sheet
with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, place on the
baking sheet, and bake for about 1 hour or until
soft. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven.
Turn the heat down to 200В°.
Remove the skins and pack into a measuring cup
to get 51вЃ„2 cups; retain any extra for another recipe

marmalade, ginger, salt, SPICES and VANILLA. Mix

HOLIDAY
The Weyhers
R
ichard Weyher of Mulga,
Alabama, has treasured memories of
the people who have enjoyed his
Chocolate Krinkle Cookies over the
years. One such moment occurred
when he was halfway around the
world serving as the chief cook on a
U.S. Naval ship.
His wife Frances writes, “Our men
and women in uniform do more than
fight battles and keep us safe. They
are the greatest ambassadors America
can have.
“In 1966, when the U.S.S. Aldebran
AF10 supply ship stopped
at a port in Rota, Spain,
children from a local
orphanage and the nuns who cared
for them were invited on board as
special guests. Richard and the men
baked 400 Chocolate Krinkle
Cookies and 400 Chocolate Chip
cookies for their very special guests.”
Closer to home, the Weyhers recall
making this cookie for their only
grandson James and his classmates
when he was in second grade. “We
tried to do whatever we could to
Richard and Frances Weyher smile as they
reminisce about the many people who have
enjoyed his Chocolate Krinkle Cookies over
the years.
make his school days memorable for
him. The teachers and students
requested them from time to time
for field trips and parties. We still
enjoy baking them for James, now 27,
and he still loves eating them.”
Chocolate Krinkle Cookies
This family favorite from the Weyhers should whet
your appetite for all the holiday baking to come.

I remember the first
Thanksgiving after Jeri and I were
married. Everything was going
great, but somehow in my planning
I did not take into account that this
year instead of having one nephew,
I now had two. I watched them,
one after the other, smother
everything on their plates with
what must have been a cup of gravy
each. As I looked at the dwindling
supply of my precious, precious
gravy I smiled on the outside, but
inside I was thinking, “Don’t you
two understand just how valuable
that gravy is?” The answer is that of
course they knew, that’s why they
covered everything on their plate
with it.
From that Thanksgiving forward
I vowed never to be short on gravy
again. Gravy really is the lifeblood
of Thanksgiving dinner. With
enough of it, no matter what might
not go 100% right, everyone is
assured of a juicy, delicious plate of
goodness. It is even more
important when re-heating things
the next day, so be sure to send
plenty home with everyone’s
leftovers.
In the years since I have found it
is not just the nephews who love a
goodly quantity. Put enough out
on the table and watch as everyone
enjoys. My brother-in-law Tom one
year paid me the ultimate
compliment when I overheard him
say, “At Billy’s house, he serves
gravy as a beverage!”
Happy Thanksgiving.

Penzeys spices | HOLIDAY
Bucket o’ Great Gravy
When you need a lot of gravy, make rich stock
ahead of time, then all you need to do is thicken it
up before the holiday meal!
For stock:
14-18 lb. turkey, breast removed + any extra
turkey pieces you may have
2 gallons water
2 BAY LEAVES
1-2 tsp. POULTRY SEASONING
1-2 TB. BICENTENNIAL RUB
For gravy:
11вЃ„2-2 gallons cooked, strained stock
1–11⁄2 Cups fat (butter or a mix of butter and
turkey fat from the roasting pan)
2–21⁄2 Cups flour
Make stock a day ahead of time, or the morning
of, using one turkey minus the breast which
should be cooked separately and served. Cook
the stock on low for several hours; strain and
refrigerate. When cold, the fat on the top can be
pulled off and discarded or used for the gravy.
Once simmered, the stock should reduce to
about 11вЃ„2 gallons. If less, add more water.
To make the gravy, heat the stock on low. In
another pot that is large enough to hold all
of the gravy, melt the butter or butter/turkey
fat over medium-low. Sift in the flour 1вЃ„2 cup
at a time, stirring after each addition until you
have a smooth paste. Use the larger amount of
flour and fat for thicker gravy. Once all the flour
is added, let it cook another 10-15 minutes,
stirring every few minutes. It should be golden
brown when ready. Add heated stock one cup
at a time, stirring well, until smooth. After about
the 4th cup you can add 2-3 cups of stock at a
time, stirring after each addition. Let cook until
thick and bubbly, stirring every few minutes.
Taste and add additional seasoning if desired.
If too thick, a cup or two of water can be added
and the flavor will still be great!
Prep. time: 3-4 hours stock cooking time
Cooking time: 30 minutes gravy making time
Yield: Roughly 24 cups gravy
