Arizona Dreaming – Harvest 2020
There is so much that is so cool about living
the life of a cook. Sharing tasty food with the
people in your life, seeing the happiness it
brings and then watching the good things that
happen to people who feel happy opens your
eyes to the world of kindness we live in. Once
you understand cooking for what it is, an act
of kindness, it can bring such great balance to
your outlook on life. And the kindness of cooking knows no bounds, it happens everywhere.
Do the math and it is easy to see that for each
story that makes the nightly news there are a
hundred million acts of kindness that happen
every day in kitchens in homes across the globe
as cooks spread their love.
But sometimes I look at the news and these
days it makes me sad. Are we really going to
leave unchecked the companies whose reckless pursuit of billions have so damaged our
economy and our environment, and instead let
our frustrations be redirected at the people who
have spent their lives doing our unwanted jobs
for dollars an hour? In our need to restore our
sense of self-control are we actually going to
reward politicians who are not working to bring
us together, but instead are forsaking America’s
beautiful 234-year history of diversity? These are
decent people’s lives, real loving families where
children will be separated from parents, where
grandparents will be separated from grandchildren for what possible gain?
The other morning I was driving my sixyear-old daughter to her weeklong summer
woodworking class and she asked me how you
get people who have stopped caring to care. We
had watched a movie over the weekend where
people simply stopped being nice. She was
thinking about how to change that. Not sure
myself, I asked her what she thought could be
done. After a moment’s imagination she came
up with: “You get people to care by spreading
your happy feelings.”
The Arizona I know has plenty of happy feelings to spread. We all owe a debt to the past for
those who bore the costs of our families’ arrival
in this country, but it is the people of Arizona
that are bearing our share of the costs. From
my travels with my family around the state, and
through our store in the Phoenix area, we have
been introduced to an Arizona so different from
what we see on the nightly news. Each day in
the kitchens of the homes across Arizona, we
know for a fact there are millions of acts of kindness, and these acts revolve around the flavors
of Mexico more than influences from anywhere
else. From the initial responses to our cooks survey (please take it if you have not already, see
page 37), Americans love the food and flavors
of Mexico. In the answers to the question on the
types of cooking you do, Mexican is on more
people’s lists than any other type.
It is the flavors of Mexico we choose to share
around our dinner tables with our families and
with our friends. Arizona even takes America’s
love of Mexico’s culture of food to the next
level. We see Sweet Chilies, Cumin, Mexican
Oregano, and Chipotles on the shopping lists of
our Arizona customers far more than our store
average. Through our customers we see how
over the years the culture of Mexico has moved
past being just an influence from our neighbors,
to being a part of how we define ourselves. In
a magic that flourishes in America like nowhere else, all the hugs and smiles and laughs
and tears we have shared over the years have
brought us together, and we have yet again
become one people.
From all these experiences, from all these
emotions, we have come up with a wonderful
new blend. We call it Arizona Dreaming. It is the
great flavors that originally came from south of
the border, but are now a part of who we all are,
combined in the way that the people of Arizona
love to use them. It has no salt out of respect
for the heart-healthy style of cooking so many
Arizonans enjoy. It is the perfect blend for the
flavorful foods of the harvest we are sharing
right now, but I also hope that in its deliciousness Arizona Dreaming gets us thinking about
what we want our future harvests to be. That
its inspiration gives us the encouragement to
figure out the seeds we need to plant now to let
an even brighter future grow. Give it a try and
be happy.
As always I would love to hear what you’re
thinking. Email me at: [email protected].
And once again thank you for taking the time
to spread your happy feelings,

Arizona Dreaming
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.

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.
The basil for all Italian cooking, perfect with tomatoes

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.

The Neff family gets in the team spirit in
Flagstaff, watching the Arizona Cardinals
football team at training camp.
Marc and
Debbie Neff
D
ebbie and Marc Neff of Mesa,
Arizona have expanded their family
many times over since they gave
birth to their 11-year-old son Nick
and adopted their 8-year-old son
Anthony. “We have been foster
parents for over 7 years and have
had over 30 children stay with us,”
says Marc.
“We are in the process of
adopting Jackson, an infant we have
had since he was 6 days old. Jackson
was a safe haven baby, dropped off
at a hospital 24 hours after he was
born.”
One of the family’s favorite
recipes, Jen’s Pesto Chicken, has a
special tie-in with that day. Debbie
explains, “Jen Munoz was my best
friend who passed away in January
2009 on the day Jackson was given
up as a safe haven baby. She was
only 39 years old. We received the
call that same Friday that we were
chosen as an adoptive family for
him. I know it sounds crazy, but I
have always believed in my heart
See spice Index on page 61
Jen somehow had a hand in all of
that!”
Currently the Neffs share their
love with six children. Sitting down
at the dinner table together is a key
part of their daily routine.
“We eat dinner every night at
5:30,” says Marc. “This is key in
bonding with the children. Most of
the children we have fostered did
not have consistent nutritious
meals, mostly junk food and soda.
When we try something new,
everyone gets a portion as part of
the meal. One of our kids had crab
legs and declared it was his favorite
food.” (See page 8 for a favorite
afterschool snack.)
He notes that many of their
foster kids have had big boosts to
their self-esteem with help from
Arizona Friends of Foster Children
Foundation, which provides special
extras like bicycles, piano lessons
and tutoring.
“We focus on routines and
consistency and let them be kids. At
the end of the day our family
wanted to make a difference. The
children we have fostered have
given us more than we could ever
give them.”

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 saltfree dishes with their rich flavor. Note: bay leaves are very
light (8 ounces by weight equals one gallon by volume).

Barbara and Tommy Hill met as members of the
band at Arizona State University and have shared
their love of music and good food ever since.
Barbara Hill
W
hen our sons and grandsons
and their families come to visit from
the Phoenix area we always spend
time cooking the meals that are
special to them,” says Barbara Hill of
Bisbee, Arizona. “We moved to this
town 19 years ago—we love traveling
and have been to literally every
corner of the state. Over the years,
Southwest cooking became more
and more a favorite.
“When our three sons were growing
up and going to school they all played
in the band. Our sons’ friends
frequently shared meals with us and it
was not unusual to have a group
practicing their jazz band music in our
living room before dinner.
Mexican-style Salad
This is a crisp, fresh, delicious salad that is sure to
disappear at your next family get together.
“We almost always had tacos with
Shredded Beef (see recipe on page
13) on Saturday night. Their friends
knew this, so we frequently had
company for dinner on Saturday.
After one dinner one of the friends
wondered, if Christmas came on
Saturday would we have tacos?
Christmas did come on Saturday, of
course, and so a tradition was
begun.”
This Mexican-style Salad is
another of Barbara’s favorite
Southwest recipes for sharing. “We
do potlucks several times a year at
our church here in Bisbee and also
for the Bisbee Community Chorus.”

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.

California Style Seasoned Pepper
California Seasoned Pepper is one of our oldest and
most popular salt free seasonings. The robust flavor of
red and green bell peppers and black pepper together
seasons fully without salt. California Seasoned Pepper is
perfect for meat and poultry, especially grilled or broiled
steak, hamburgers, pork chops or chicken, rub on 1 tsp.
per pound before cooking. Add a bit to gravy, stew, or a
roast to combat blandness. Hand-mixed from: Tellicherry
black pepper, red and green bell pepper, onion, garlic.
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

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.

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.
Shredded Beef
Barbara Hill (story on page 9) tells us, “This is a
family favorite and can be used as a filling for
tacos, enchiladas or burritos.”
2-3 lbs. boneless beef chuck roast, fat
trimmed
3 TB. red wine vinegar
11вЃ„2 Cups beef broth (or 11вЃ„2 Cups water
plus 1-2 tsp. BEEF SOUP BASE)
2 TB. CHILI POWDER
1 tsp. GROUND CUMIN
Cut the roast into 3-4 chunks and place in a
slow cooker or Dutch oven. In a bowl combine
the red wine vinegar, beef broth, CHILI
POWDER and GROUND CUMIN. Pour over the
meat. Cover and cook on low in a slow cooker
for 7-8 hours or on the stovetop over low for 3
hours, until the meat is very tender and pulls
apart easily. For the final hour of cooking,
remove the beef and shred it, then return to
the pan/slow cooker. Mix with the juices, cover
and cook another hour.

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.

its hint of citrusy flavor and lack of any bite
whatsoever makes it the favorite in both England and
Mexico where it is preferred for all uses. Ceylon 00000
Cinnamon, ground, from Sri Lanka.
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.

M

where craft people meet, a chicken
coop, a garden, a house she
remodeled to have room for me, and
it’s just up the hill from the lake,”
says Dorothy Spiegel of her new

Dorothy, 88, moved into Connie’s

from Georgia after her husband
passed away. “It’s difficult to live
alone,” she says. “You end up
throwing food away.”
That’s no longer a problem now
that Dorothy has family to cook for
again. “She loves to cook and always
has,” says Connie. “She is good at
using the ingredients on hand to
make something delicious.”
Dot, who learned to cook during
the Depression, has been making
Hamburger Pie since her teenage
years. Connie calls it “one of Mom’s
economical innovations from the
1950s. It uses whatever one might
have on hand.” For the recipe, go to

Dorothy shares her Best Apple Pie
recipe here. She uses frozen apple
juice instead of granulated sugar to
sweeten it, but she says, “Everybody
at church suppers loves it.”
Best Apple Pie
Nobody can resist homemade apple pie, and this
one is simple and delicious. The apple juice lends

Cinnamon Squash Bread
“A combination of a hybrid butternut squash
seed and my cousin Jim’s fertilizer produced
huge butternut squash in my garden last year,”
shares George Frederick of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Friends and an area food bank benefited from
the bumper crop, and George created this bread
recipe, which is delicious made with any late
summer squash. Turn to page 30 for more of
George’s story.

Teresa Bacon
y garden inspires me. There is not a better feeling
than going out and picking what I need and cooking it
right away,” says Teresa Bacon of Raleigh, North
Carolina. “I want to cook healthy, with fresh produce and
fruits. What better way than to grow your own?
“What grows in the garden dictates what I cook. When
you are overrun with veggies, you try to fix them in as
many different ways as you can so as not to get tired of
them. There are many things I will cook only when they
are in season. When we have fresh lettuce and kale, we’ll
eat salad twice a day, so I’ll try to come up with many
different ways to make salads.”
Teresa also preserves foods by freezing them so they
don’t go to waste. She bakes pies and muffins, makes fig
preserves, eggplant Parmesan, spaghetti sauces and salsas
and packages them for later use. This means a wellstocked fridge and freezer, which doesn’t bother
husband Everett one bit.
Teresa didn’t start cooking until she got married 23
years ago. She then combined everything she learned
from watching her mother cook with her own interest in
gardening. The result was the discovery that she enjoys
cooking with “simple, fresh and quality ingredients.”
That’s deliciously evident in Teresa’s recipes such as
Teresa Bacon and husband Everett enjoy hiking. The rocky
terrain in Utah provides a picture-perfect backdrop.
Curry Pot Pie (page 21) which she makes with a whole
wheat crust with fresh minced rosemary folded into the
dough…and Blueberry Streusel Muffins that are bursting
with sweetness from berries fresh from her garden.
“I have a passion for cooking. It is therapeutic for me.
And I enjoy cooking for those I love and seeing them
enjoy what I cook. Cooking to me is love and comfort.”

mix well. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350В°. Butter and flour a muffin
pan, set aside. In a large bowl sift together
the flours, baking soda, salt, CINNAMON and
NUTMEG.
In a medium saucepan melt the butter over
medium heat. Using a wooden spoon, blend in
the sugars. Remove from heat and beat in the
orange juice and VANILLA, then the eggs. Stir
into the flour mixture. Fold in the blueberries and
ORANGE or LEMON PEEL, if using. Spoon into
the muffin pan; sprinkle on the streusel topping

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.
Cumin
Throughout the world, cumin is second in popularity
only to black pepper. Americans use it mostly for chili,
but cumin is a must in Indian, Mexican & Asian
cooking. Salsa and tacos are heavily seasoned with
cumin. Our ground cumin is the best you'll ever see.

4 / S Special Seasoned Sea Salt
Cocoa Powder
Pronounced “four, S” our Special Seasoned Sea Salt
gives a great burst of flavor wherever salt is called for.
Like other seasoned salts, 4/S is great for steaks,
burgers and chops, but since we have made the flavor
lighter and brighter than your old seasoned salt, 4/S is
also outstanding for chicken, fish, veggies, salads and
popcorn as well. Give it a try, and we think you’ll agree
4/S = 100% delicious. Hand-mixed from: Coarse Sea Salt,
Sugar, Special Extra Bold Black Pepper, Paprika, Onion,
Turmeric, Garlic, Spice Extractives (including oleoresin of
paprika, black pepper, celery, rosemary and thyme).
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.

chops, chicken, fish, veggies, popcorn and more.

Fox Point Seasoning
One of our very best blends, so good on all the foods
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
and scrambled eggs. For tasty dip use 2 tsp. of Fox
Point in 1 cup sour cream or yogurt. The dip makes an
outstanding topping for baked potatoes too, or make a
quick chicken or tuna salad by mixing 3 cups of cooked
chicken or tuna chunks with 1 cup of Fox Point dip.
Because we do not use any anti-caking agents in this
(or any other) blend, it tends to clump somewhat. To
keep it free-flowing, store in the refrigerator.
Hand-mixed from: salt, freeze-dried shallots, chives,
garlic, onion, green peppercorns.

Balti Seasoning
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
Contrary to popular belief, Indian food isn’t
all hot. The wonders of spicing are nowhere
more apparent than in India, where strongerflavored 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.
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.

dundicut chilies, Ceylon cinnamon, brown mustard seeds,

desired. For spicy chicken noodle or eggdrop soup, add

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
1-2 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.

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.

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
4-6 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.

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

It is very easy to use granulated garlic, just sprinkle on
meat, fish, poultry, or vegetables. Use about В№/2 tsp. per
lb. To rehydrate: use В№/2 tsp. granulated garlic in 1 tsp.
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
like tomatoes (their acidic nature will stop the garlic
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 candymaking. 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.

Marjoram is one of the most popular herbs in Europe,
but it hasn’t yet gained the popularity of basil and
oregano here in America. Its flavor is a sweet, flowery
cross between oregano and basil, making it the perfect
addition to soup, stews, tomato sauces, and dishes such
as baked chicken. It’s also nice for creamy potato dishes
like scalloped potatoes and potato soup. From Egypt.

and main dishes, and preferred for English style lamb
and jellies. Peppermint has a warm and spicy mint flavor
and is the traditional mint used for flavoring candies and
chocolates. Both are a fine addition to tea.

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.

Whole Special Extra BoldВ®
Indian Black Peppercorns
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.
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.

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.

Cup bread crumbs (store-bought or

Cup SALAD ELEGANT

tsp. TURKISH OREGANO
tsp. CALIFORNIA BASIL
tsp. SALT, to taste (Andrea uses PACIFIC

tsp. PENZEYS PEPPER, to taste
egg, beaten
TB. milk
Cup all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 425В°. Combine the bread
crumbs, SALAD ELEGANT, GARLIC, OREGANO
and BASIL in a shallow bowl. Season the
mixture with SALT and PEPPER. In a second
shallow bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
Place flour in a third shallow bowl.
Lightly coat each chicken breast with flour,
shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken in
the egg mixture and then the bread crumbs,
making sure to evenly coat both sides.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken breasts in the pan 2 at a time
and brown on each side, about 2 minutes.
The breading will darken quickly so make
sure to watch the pan. You just want to get
the breading a beautiful brown and finish the
cooking in the oven! Remove the chicken from
the pan and place on a baking rack that has
been placed on a baking sheet (if you do not
have a baking rack, place the chicken directly
on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with
cooking spray). Brown the second batch of
chicken, transfer to the baking sheet, and then
bake at 425В° for 15 minutes or until the chicken
is cooked through.

Andrea Love and her two children enjoy
shopping at local farmer’s markets to look for
fresh produce.
Andrea Love
Being in the kitchen with my dad
when I was a kid is the reason for my
passion for food today,” says Andrea
Love of Phoenix, Arizona.
“On Saturday mornings we would
come into the kitchen and there
would be bread baking, canning
going on or fresh pasta hanging over
the chairs. You never knew what you
were going to get, but it always
turned out great.
“My father learned to cook and
bake from his mother and I learned
from him. I have a hard time figuring
out some of his recipes since they
were not always written down. Every
now and then my mother will find
one on a scrap of paper that she’ll
give to me. I can never make it taste
the way he did, he had a true gift.
“Some of my favorite memories are
of eating huge family meals at my
grandparents’ house in New Jersey.
The second you walked into the
house you were hit by the most
intensely delicious smells coming
from a roast, noodles or numerous
vegetables. My grandmother made
everything from scratch.
“Growing up, we had fruit and
vegetable gardens. Everything my
father made was fresh and healthy.
Now, I take my kids to the local
farmer’s market. Arizona is a great
place for farmer’s markets because
the weather is perfect for year-round
farming. The kids love to pick out
varieties of leafy green vegetables
and I go out of my way to try a new
melon, squash or heirloom tomato.
“Ian, age 4, and Isabel, age 6, love
to toss ingredients in the pot and
mix them all up. And I love the idea
that you can travel around the world
at your own kitchen table. We like all
kinds of foods, from German to
Mexican to Mediterranean.
“I created the Mediterranean
pasta because the kids love olives,
sun-dried tomatoes and green
vegetables. This is a great dish for
kids to help with, though they may
want to help just so they can steal a
few olives when I’m not looking!”
Pasta with a Mediterranean Twist
This makes a great side dish, especially when served with Andrea’s Company Chicken (page 27).

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
Kosher style flake salt.

Pepper Blends
Special Grinds
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.
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.
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.

Four Peppercorn Blend
Mixture of Tellicherry black and Mysore green
peppercorns from India, white peppercorns from
Sarawak, and the rare pink peppercorns from the
French island of Reunion. Adds festive color and
flavor to any dish where one would use freshly
ground pepper. This blend also looks nice in the
clear, acrylic style peppermills.

Shallot-Pepper Seasoning
Bursting with the flavor of rich shallots and
flavorful French tarragon. Excellent on fish,
vegetables, sauteed boneless chicken breast and
pork or veal cutlets. Just sprinkle on В№/2 -1 tsp. per
pound, dust with a bit of flour and sautГ© in a small
amount of olive oil. Store in the refrigerator in the
summer months to prevent clumping. Hand-mixed
from: coarse salt, Tellicherry black pepper, shallots,
tarragon and bay leaves.

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
salt-free lemon-pepper, see Sunny Spain.

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.

George happily cooks a family dinner
while his father looks on.
George Frederick
Ipicked up my love of cooking
by spending time in the kitchen with
my mother,” says George Frederick
from Lincoln, Nebraska. “When I
was young we lived with GreatGrandfather Bell on his farm in
Papillion. My mom’s oxtail stew with
onion, carrots, celery and potatoes
was so meaty tasting. Angel food cake
from scratch with a thin glaze of
icing was a birthday treat. Then
there was homemade root beer kept
icy in the old milk cooler. We each
could have only one bottle a day.”
Come summer all these years later,
George still harks back to his farming
roots, harvesting heirloom tomatoes,
peppers, eggplant and squash from
his garden. Friends and a local food
bank benefited from his last bumper
crop. Turn to page 16 to try his
Cinnamon Squash Bread recipe.
George and his wife Cheryl host a
family get-together most Mondays
and one of the dishes they like to
make is Grandma Madge’s Simple
Cucumber Salad. “It is an old
favorite we have often when the
cukes are ready in the garden.”
Simple Cucumber Salad
George shares, “Grandma Madge made a very
simple �1/2/3 dressing’ for cucumbers and onions.
The amount can be easily varied depending on the
quantity of cucumbers and onions used.”
3 medium cucumbers, peeled and
thinly sliced
1 large yellow or sweet onion, peeled and
thinly sliced
1-2 tsp. FINES HERBES
1вЃ„4-1вЃ„2 tsp. GROUND WHITE PEPPER
Dressing:
1 part cider vinegar (1вЃ„4 Cup)
2 parts white sugar (1вЃ„2 Cup)
3 parts heavy cream or half & half (3вЃ„4 Cup)
He adds, “I managed to acquire a
number of old recipe boxes from
now-departed relatives, and the
recipes are certainly not all meatand-potatoes. Many are quite dessertheavy.”
Go to www.penzeys.com to try
George’s delicious Streusel-Topped
Pumpkin Pie.
Place the cucumbers and onion in a serving
bowl. Add the FINES HERBES and WHITE PEPPER
and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, mix
together the cider vinegar, sugar, and cream and
stir to combine. Add to the serving bowl and toss
gently. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, mixing
occasionally to mingle the flavors.

Dear Penzeys,
Our family had to pack a quick
lunch this weekend. I made Turkey
Wraps with a liberal sprinkle of
Penzeys Sandwich Sprinkle. My
daughter loved them. She asked
if she tasted oregano. We usually
have Sandwich Sprinkle on our sub
sandwiches. Thus, her picture! (See
below.)
Thanks for family memories!
–Kara S.
I consider myself a rather
adventurous bread baker. I use
Penzeys seasoning mixes in basic
white or whole wheat yeast bread
recipes, which results in a flavor that
intrigues the people who taste it. A
couple tablespoons is all it takes.
Mural of Flavor is especially fun to
use because only the diehard Penzeys
fans can figure out what it is! I add
Pizza Seasoning to my basic beer
bread recipe, and end up with Pizza
and Beer Bread. This is a hit at bake
sales! Practically every seasoning mix
can be used successfully and when
baked in something other than a
standard bread pan, delights people
even more.
I am lucky enough to live just an
hour from each of the Penzeys stores
in Michigan. I prefer to drive to shop,
mostly because of the incredible
olfactory rush when I walk in the
door. –Marilyn M.
My younger sister and I were in
charge of favors for our older sister
Jeanette’s baby shower. Jeanette
happens to LOVE PenzeysВ and has
turned almost everyone she knows
on to them (including us). So in my
searching all things baby/girl trying
to find a clever idea, I came upon the
poem that says “sugar and spice and
all that’s nice!” Eureka!
Well, that was it, sugar and spice
mix for all. Used the blank Penzeys
labels that come with the jars, covered
them with clear labels that I was able
to run through my computer and
customized them with the words
“Sugar and Spice and all that’s nice,
Jeanette’s baby shower June 5th 2010”
and also included the contents and
ingredients. Wrapped them all up in
clear/ducky cellophane so everyone
could see inside and WOW what a hit
they were! Thank You, Penzeys!

such delicious and different flavors to

These are some of the little
stinkers for whom I “cook.” I
specialize in wildlife rehabilitation.
Any skunk in need (whether it be
injured, sick or orphaned) in the
Houston, Texas area comes into my
care until it can be returned, happy
and healthy, back into the wild. Part
of keeping the skunks healthy is
keeping them pest-free, so I mix a
little Penzeys granulated garlic into
their meals to dissuade fleas and
other external parasites. As you can
see from the photo, they LOVE it!
–Bonnie G.
Just received your latest catalog.
Such a great publication! My
daughter-in-law Angela introduced
me to Penzeys about a year ago. I love
your spices. Your gift sets and recipes
are excellent.
Don’t know how I didn’t discover
your company sooner. Keep it up!

Shan shares the love of cooking in the
Scottsdale Penzeys store.
Shan Gaskins
T
hey are the best!” says Shan
Gaskins about her customers and coworkers at the Scottsdale, Arizona,
Penzeys Store. “We are always talking
food. A customer will ask, �How did
that ice cream turn out?’ Which of
course leads to, �You’ve got to try
this chocolate sauce…’ I definitely
get as many recipes as I give out!
“A number of people here in
Arizona like a good amount of heat.
Southwest Seasoning, Fajita and
Chipotle are favorites. But there are
just as many people who, like me,
can’t do the heat. I recommend
trying the Smoked Spanish Paprika.
You still get that nice smoky flavor
without the kick.”
In her time away from the store,
Shan welcomes any chance to
let her friends try favorite spices.
“My friends Amee, Michelle and I
recently went to the Grand Canyon
and we packed a homemade picnic
lunch. A lot of people hike down
the canyon or you can take a donkey
ride—but I was good seeing it from
the top,” she laughs.
“My friend Michelle just moved
into a new apartment. For my part,
I got there early and made lots
of fresh sandwiches and salads.
Michelle grew up in Louisiana,
so whenever I feel like making a
Southern meal I ask her over and
make my grandmother’s greens and

“For Christmastime, I could buy
something, but instead I ask people
what is their favorite dessert. Then
on come the pecan pies, cheesecakes
and molten chocolate cakes!
“Last week I made whoopie pies
and brought them in to the girls at
work. I like to bake and get it out of
my system and then share it. Because
at 2 a.m. I roam and at 2 a.m. you’re
not looking for carrot sticks!” If
you’re looking for a quick summer
supper, try Shan’s favorite Easy
Shrimp Scampi recipe.
In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the butter (the oil will keep the butter from
burning). Once the butter has melted, add the
stock. Allow the sauce to come to a slight boil.
Then, sprinkle in the BASIL, salt, PEPPER, SHALLOTS
and GARLIC. Toss the ingredients to mix well.
Add the shrimp. They will cook quickly, about
2-3 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp have
cooked, turn off the heat and place your cooked
pasta into the pan with the shrimp. Sprinkle in the
parsley. Toss everything together, divide between 4
plates and serve.
Prep. time: 10 minutes (plus 10 more if you are
peeling and deveining the shrimp)

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.

banana bread, waffle batter, cheesecake and muffins.
Sprinkle on hot cereal or add to potpourri. To

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.

Ozark Seasoning
A classic Southern blend of black pepper and herbs.
What could be better than the flavor of fried chicken
without the fat? Sprinkle Ozark Seasoning on chicken,
fish or chops, bake or saute for mouth-watering flavor
and a healthy meal. Use about 1 tsp. of Ozark on each
chicken breast, pork chops or fish fillets. Sprinkle on
green beans - almost as good as the meat. Another
great use for Ozark Seasoning is in scrambled eggs.

spices from Gram’s kitchen. Just a sprinkle adds a
flavorful and colorful touch to meat, fish and poultry—
not to mention goulash. Hungarian Sweet Paprika is the
best in the world, as Hungary has the sunshine needed
for sweet, rich flavor, and the knowledgeable farmers to
nurture the crop from planting to harvest.

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.

and on pasta as a side dish. Toss warm, freshly cooked pasta with a bit of butter,
olive oil, or meat drippings; В№/2 tsp. Pasta Sprinkle per serving; and a splash of
balsamic or red wine vinegar. For spaghetti, lasagna, or pizza, add Pasta Sprinkle
to the tomato sauce, 1-2 tsp. per quart. Hand-mixed from: California basil, Turkish
oregano, French thyme, and minced garlic.

TB. canola oil

Cups water, divided
Cups chopped fresh tomatoes (we used
cherry tomatoes)
tsp. honey
TB. fresh cilantro, finely minced (optional)
Cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 325В°. Wash pork, pat dry. Season
with the ARIZONA DREAMING. Place in a roasting
pan and cook until the desired doneness is reached
(165В° will take 40-50 minutes). While the pork is in
the oven, prepare the sauce.
For the sauce, heat the oil in a large skillet over
medium heat. Add the onion. After about 3
minutes, when the onion is turning translucent
but not brown, add the ARIZONA DREAMING and
stir. Then add 1 cup of the water, the tomatoes
and honey. Cook 20 minutes, stirring frequently to
break up the tomatoes. After 20 minutes, add the
remaining water, along with the minced cilantro if
using.
Remove the pan of sauce from the heat. Using a
slotted spoon, mix about half of the sauce into the
cooked rice. The slotted spoon helps you get the
chunkier bits and less liquid into the rice. Pour the
remaining sauce into a medium bowl and gently
mix in the sour cream. Slice the pork into thin
pieces and serve with the seasoned rice. Pour the
sauce over the meat or serve in a dipping bowl.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Grey Sea Salt
From France
Back by popular demand. We discontinued this one for

people sad; we want them to be happy. Has an aroma
that some call nice and flowery. Use small amounts
towards the end of cooking for fish and seafood. Also
nice in fresh baked breads served with unsalted butter.

Sandwich Sprinkle
This blend was created for making homemade
croutons, but along the way it has become the
lunchtime favorite in the Penzeys breakroom for all
types of sandwiches, from crusty subs to tuna salad.
Just shake on, or mix 1 TB. with 1 TB. water, add to В№/4
cup vinegar and В№/3 cup oil, shake, and drizzle on your
favorite sandwich. To make homemade croutons
(great for using up odds and ends of leftover bread):
for each 2 cups of cubed bread (4 regular slices), use 1
TB. seasoning. Traditional and very flavorful when
sautГ©ed in 1-2 TB. butter or olive oil (toss over medium
heat for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown). For crispy,
low-fat croutons, coat lightly with a vegetable oil spray,
season and bake at 375Лљ until brown (8-15 minutes),
turning twice while cooking. Hand-mixed from: garlic,
coarse salt, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram
and black pepper.
We’re cutting back on salt.
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,

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.

Country French Vinaigrette
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.
A variation of classic French Vinegar and Oil dressing,
but lighter, perfect for today's salads. Filled with flavorful

in В№/3 cup red wine vinegar and В№/2 cup olive oil,

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.

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.

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.

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

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

chops for 2 cups gravy.

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,

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
2-3 tsp. Turkey Base. For gravy, add 2 tsp. Turkey Base
with 4-5 TB. turkey drippings for 3 cups gravy.

“My love of good food definitely
came from my parents,” says Annette
Wagner of Fairfax, Virginia. “My
dad’s Italian heritage introduced me
to my favorite seasonings, basil and
rosemary. His mother (Grandma
Nonna) always had fresh herbs
growing and that’s what she used in
her cooking.
“And my mother’s ability to
produce well-rounded meals on a
tight budget helped me learn how to
improvise while keeping things
healthy and tasting great. As I’ve
grown older I’ve come to realize all
she did for us growing up. She and
my father raised us all with good
values which makes it easy for me to
pass those down to my children. She
is also a fabulous grandmother!”
Annette’s husband Greg was “a
Navy guy” and they moved around a
lot before settling back in Virginia.
“We were so happy to move back and
plan to stay here. I’m even living in
my old family home and our kids
(Kate, 10, and Benjamin, 8) will go
to my old high school.”
Annette’s Hearty Chicken
Vegetable Soup is a family favorite—
and it’s a great way to use up fresh
garden produce this time of year. “I
make this practically every week. It’s

what you have on hand and your
personal tastes,” she advises.

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.

Chris Kraft and his wife Jeanne are thrilled
that their kitchen remodeling is completed.
Mexican food is popular in the
Kraft family and Chris is happy to
share two of his favorite recipes.
“Frijoles Charros are such a pleasure
that we make extra and have them
any time of the day. Come to think of
it, most Mexican food is great for
breakfast, lunch or dinner. The
Pozole is traditionally a wintertime
soup that is easy, flavorful,
inexpensive and can be stretched to
feed drop-in guests. Christmas
wouldn’t be the same without it.”
Chris also has a soft spot for pizza.
“I’ve been building a wood fired
brick oven, which is less of a hobby
and more of an obsession with pizza.
There are not many pizzas that I
would refuse.”
Frijoles Charros
and then add the remaining 7 cups of fresh cool
water, epazote, garlic and half of the chopped
onion. Simmer until the beans are tender, about
11вЃ„2 hours. Add the salt for the last 30 minutes.

W
hen I left the service I moved
to Arizona to attend college and I
never wanted to leave!” says Chris
Kraft, a former Navy man who now
lives in Tucson with his wife Jeanne
and three children ages 8, 6, and 1.
“I used to joke that I wanted to get
as far away from the ocean as
possible, but really Arizona is a
beautiful state. It’s a great place to
live because of the diversity of
climates, geography and people.
There is so much to see and do
here, especially if you like outdoor
activities.
“Food is an important part of our
family. We have dinner together
every night except on rare occasions.
Sundays are bigger dinner nights
generally shared with friends and
can be barbeques, pizzas, lasagna
and salads. Last night we hosted a
little party at our community pool
with three other families and set up
a hamburger bar. Simple meals,
shared with friends and family.”
Jeanne, an Arizona native, comes
from a large family. “She’s the only
girl out of eight children,” says
Chris. “Can you imagine having
seven brothers, or 24 nieces and
nephews on one side of the family?
There aren’t too many weekends we
are not hosting some type of gettogether.”

This recipe from Chris may take a bit of time, but the
incredible flavors are so worth it.
1 lb. dry pinto beans
14 Cups cool water, divided
2 sprigs fresh epazote, chopped (1 TB. dry
EPAZOTE)
3 cloves garlic, minced (3вЃ„4 tsp. MINCED
GARLIC)
1 large onion, chopped, divided
1 tsp. salt
2 fresh chili peppers, roasted and chopped
(Christopher uses Anaheim)
4 strips thick bacon
1 TB. olive oil
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1вЃ„2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (1вЃ„2 -2вЃ„3
cup of chopped cilantro)
Rinse the beans and pick through them to
discard any stones and twigs. Place the beans
in a large pot with 7 cups of the cool water. Boil
for 5 minutes over medium high heat. Remove
from heat and let sit, covered, for 1-3 hours. Pour
off the cooking water, rinse the beans and pot,
Roast chili peppers by placing on a pan in a 400В°
oven until the skin browns and bubbles. Let cool,
and then peel off the skin, separate the flesh from
the inner membrane and seeds, discard those
and chop the roasted chili. Set aside.
While the beans are simmering, fry the bacon
until almost crisp over medium heat, being
careful not to blacken the drippings in the pan.
Place the bacon on paper toweling. Drain the
fat from the skillet, leaving behind any bits and
pieces for added flavor. Add the olive oil to the
skillet. When the oil is hot add the remaining
onion, tomato, garlic and roasted chopped
chilies. Cook for 1 minute and then add to the
pot of beans along with the bacon and cilantro.
Simmer for 5 more minutes and serve.

Pozole
Christopher shares, “The secret to this soup is in the
preparation of the chili paste which gives this Pozole
its characteristic color and flavor. Here we prepare
the paste with dried New Mexico chilies but feel free
to experiment with ancho, guajillo or cascabel.”

small onion, chopped

lbs. pork stew meat, cubed
Cups chicken or vegetable stock (or 2

tsp. salt
tsp. MEXICAN OREGANO
tsp. THYME
28-oz. cans white hominy corn
Cup finely diced white onion (1 medium)
Cup fresh cilantro, chopped
CRUSHED RED PEPPER
tortillas
While the peppers are soaking, heat the
vegetable oil in a large stock pot over mediumhigh heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for
1-2 minutes. Add the stew meat and cook until
nicely browned, stirring often (about 10 minutes).
Add the chicken or vegetable stock. Cover. Bring
to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the
pork is tender, about 3 hours. To prepare the chili
paste, remove the chilies from the soaking liquid
and remove and discard the stems and seeds.
Add the chilies to a blender and process along
with just enough soaking liquid to produce a
smooth puree—a few tablespoons should do it.
Pass the puree through a fine sieve to remove
any remaining skin pieces or seeds. Add the
chili paste to the stock pot along with the salt,
MEXICAN OREGANO, THYME and white hominy.
Simmer until done, about 30-45 minutes. Serve
with diced onion, cilantro, CRUSHED RED PEPPER
and tortillas.

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
candy-making, and is particularly nice where the flavor
of the vanilla bean should shine through, such as in
ice-cream. 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
high-quality 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.

Ruth
y mother was a good
Midwestern cook and a very good
baker,” says Ruth Carter, who was
raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and now
lives in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina
with her husband John. “Besides
my mother’s good baking I also
remember Thanksgiving, Christmas
and Easter dinners which alternated
between my mother and two aunts.
Those dinners are good food and
family memories—with cousins,
grandparents and varying delicious
holiday dishes.
“I started on the Black Walnut
Chocolate Chip Cookies because
John and I both love black walnuts
and he is crazy about anything
chocolate. I looked in my cookbooks
and on the Web but nothing seemed
to fit the bill. I like to hold down the
sugar in recipes and also often add
some whole wheat and/or almond
flour to boost nutrition.
“The Pecan Crisps (recipe on page
52) have been in my family for over
60 years and are little changed from
my mother’s. I have always shared
cookies with neighbors, friends and
co-workers and these seem to be the
most popular!”
Ruth also sent a delicious pork
chop recipe. Visit www.penzeys.com

Cup butter (Ruth prefers unsalted)
Cup powdered sugar
tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
Cups pecans, freshly ground* or finely
chopped
Cups all-purpose flour
tsp. salt (if butter is unsalted)
Cup extra powdered sugar for rolling
cookies
tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON per 1вЃ„2 Cup
powdered sugar or to taste
Preheat oven to 325В°. Cream the butter until light
and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the 1вЃ„2 cup
powdered sugar and VANILLA and mix well. Add
the pecans, flour and salt (if using) and mix. Form
into small crescents or fingers about 11вЃ„2 inches
long. Bake at 325В° for 15 to 20 minutes. As soon as
the cookies are cool enough to handle, roll them in
a mixture of powdered sugar and CINNAMON.
*Using a grinder or food processor for the pecans
gives the best results because more oil is released
and the cookies are less crumbly.

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 coolperking process retains the bean's full flavor, along with all of the
desirable vanilla side notes. With over 400 flavor components in
every high-quality 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.

Ruth Carter knows how to accommodate husband John’s sweet tooth.
I
Beatrice
Minnis
t’s all about community,” says
Beatrice Minnis of Julian, California,
a community of 1,600 residents in
the mountains east of San Diego. “I
live in a tiny town with a nice bunch
of people who look out for each
other and help you any number of
ways.
“Once last winter when we were
in for a bad patch of snowy weather,
a complete stranger showed up to
make sure I had plenty of firewood.
He brought in enough bundles to
practically fill half my living room.”
Beatrice, 81, does her part by
baking Buttermilk Pie in large
batches for potlucks and fundraisers.
“I am blessed with a great and
reliable oven, and the pies come
out beautifully and make the house
smell like heaven. I use your Double
Strength Vanilla and now half the
people I know are hooked on your
spices. Word travels fast in a small
town.”
Buttermilk Pie
Beatrice claims, “The aroma is just as good as the
pie!”

Beatrice Minnis makes a pie that is so sweet

favorite pie crust)
eggs, beaten
Cup butter (1 stick), melted and cooled
Cups sugar
TB. flour
Cup buttermilk
tsp. salt
tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT (Beatrice says,
“I use your Double Strength Vanilla with a
heavy hand!”)
tsp. PURE LEMON EXTRACT
tsp. MINCED LEMON PEEL
Preheat oven to 325В°. In a mixing bowl, combine
the eggs and butter and beat until frothy. Add the
sugar and flour and mix. Add the buttermilk, salt,
VANILLA, LEMON EXTRACT and MINCED LEMON
PEEL and stir to combine. Pour into the pie crust.
Bake at 325В° for 10 minutes and then raise the heat
to 350В° for 50 minutes.
Pie Crust:
1 stick butter, cool but not cold
1 Cup flour
1вЃ„4 tsp. salt
2-3 TB. milk
Use a fork or your fingers to blend the butter with
the flour and salt. Once it looks like peas mixed
with crumbles, drizzle in the milk and use the
fork or a spoon to blend it together. All the milk
may not be needed. It should just stick together
enough that you can pat it into a disc shape. Cover
in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes before rolling
out. On a well-floured surface, roll the disc from the
center to the outer edge with a well-floured rolling
pin. Add more flour if needed. Roll until the circle
is larger than your pie pan. The chilling time is just
about perfect for making the ingredients for the
filling.

Whipped Cream:
1 Cup heavy whipping cream
2 tsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
Preheat oven to 325В°. Grease a 9x5 metal loaf pan
or a standard Bundt pan (the Bundt cake looks
very pretty although it does not rise as high as
a typical Bundt cake). We found this cake did
not rise as well in a glass loaf pan, so we stuck
to metal. Even so, it can sink a bit at the end of
baking or when removed from the oven. It’s still
delicious! Line the bottom of the loaf pan with
waxed paper, or, if using the Bundt pan, carefully
flour the greased surface. Set aside. In a mixing
bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and
SALT (if using). In a separate bowl, combine the
milk and yogurt. In a large mixing bowl, cream
together the sugar, butter and oil until fluffy. Add
the eggs one at a time. Beat in the dry ingredients
in 3 additions alternately with the milk mixture in
2 additions. Beat in the lemon juice, lemon peel
and POPPY SEEDS. Pour half of the batter into
the pan. Gently place the strawberries on top of
the batter, in a line, along the center of the pan,
avoiding the edges. Pour the remaining batter in
the pan.
Bake the cake for about 55-65 minutes or until a
tester inserted into the center of the cake comes
out clean. Bundt pans are more likely to be done
in 55 minutes, loaf pans closer to 65. Cool in the
pan for about 15 minutes. Turn the cake onto a
cooling rack and peel off the waxed paper. Cool
completely before slicing.
Add the whipping cream and powdered sugar
to a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks
form. Add the VANILLA and beat for a few more
seconds. Place a piece of cake on a plate, add
some whipped cream to the center and top with
blueberries.

The Next Chapter
There is so much that defines Arizona and draws people
to it. Arizona’s history, vibrant border state culture, sunny
climate, and incredibly scenic beauty combine to create a
powerful draw for people with a spirit to do something
more. While some people reach a point in life where they
are ready to relax and enjoy the life they’ve created, others
wish for one more new thing. Not so much to escape their
lives, or recreate themselves, as much as a desire to find
themselves in an entirely new surrounding. I once heard
this spirit well described as the desire to “Write one more
chapter.”
The cool thing about writing a new chapter is there are
so many possibilities in the process. One is that the desire
to have the time and strength and energy to do something
more really can open your eyes to the value of changing
your ways. While many dream of changing their ways, the
people of Arizona oftentimes succeed in embracing a
heart-healthier way of life. The change can be quite tasty.
Give Arizona Dreaming a try; the right blend for right now,
and for our futures as well.

Arizona Dreaming Tilapia
Grilled Veggie Pasta
Fresh tilapia and our new Arizona Dreaming
seasoning were simply made for each other.
Make the most of your garden harvest and give
this recipe a try. Our new Arizona Dreaming will
bring extra life to your favorite fresh veggies.
Per person:
1 5-7 oz. tilapia filet
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. ARIZONA DREAMING
Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet.
Sprinkle both sides of the tilapia with the
ARIZONA DREAMING. Place in the hot pan and
cook for 21вЃ„2-31вЃ„2 minutes per side.

oz. dry pasta—we used whole wheat
thin spaghetti
lb. fresh garden vegetables—your
choice
We used:
1 yellow zucchini
1 red onion
1 red bell pepper
1 small eggplant, peel if desired
Cup + 2 TB. olive oil, divided
TB. ARIZONA DREAMING, divided
tsp. balsamic or red wine vinegar
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta
and get the grill going for the veggies. Wash
and dry the veggies, then cut in pieces large
enough that they won’t fall through the grill
top into the coals, but small enough to cook
quickly and be two bites at most. Place the
veggies in a single layer on a pan and coat with
1
вЃ„4 cup of the olive oil and 11вЃ„2-3 tsp. ARIZONA
DREAMING. Toss to coat both sides well.
When the water is boiling, cook the pasta
according to package directions (whole wheat
See spice Index on page 61
thin spaghetti takes about 9 minutes). Do not
overcook. Drain and rinse very briefly—the
pasta should stay warm. Shake all the water off,
and then place the pasta in a large bowl. Toss
with the remaining olive oil, along with 11вЃ„2-3
tsp. ARIZONA DREAMING. Cover and set aside
while grilling the veggies.
Grill the veggies in a single layer. It’s better to
cook them in two batches than to crowd them
onto the grill touching each other or bunched
up. Lay them out over medium high heat, cover,
cook about 4 minutes, then turn and cook until
done. Some veggies, like larger cut onion and
bell pepper and whole mushrooms will need
another 4 minutes, but soft squash will only
need about 1 more minute.
When the veggies are all cooked, combine
them in the bowl with the cooked pasta. Just
before serving, sprinkle balsamic or red wine
vinegar over the top, and gently toss. Taste and
add salt as desired. Serve with a fresh garden
salad.
