Our single-origin Pemba cloves are the star of this refreshing citrus cocktail made with the help of homemade Falernum syrup.
Homemade Falernum Syrup
Make your own version of a classic bar syrup using our new single-origin Pemba cloves. We kept this recipe simple, with the Pemba cloves as the star of the show, to highlight their standout flavor.
Chickpea Sumac Salad
When we first got samples of our new single-origin cured sumac into the shop earlier this year, we were so excited about their flavor that we pulled staffers into our office to sprinkle the berries into their palms.
Yellow Cardamom Ice Cream with Candied Fennel Seeds
Yellow cardamom is the perfect muse for ice cream because the pods have been allowed to fully ripen, imparting a sweet flavor with notes of grass.
Chicken Korma
I added our garam masala because the aromatic blend of cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves and black pepper is the perfect fit.
Spinach with Ginger, Fennel and Black Cumin
For a recent Sunday evening meal, we picked up six beautiful bunches of spinach from Happy Boy Farms at the Grand Lake farmer's market.
Bhopali Pilaf with Black Cumin, Peas and Carrots
This simple rice pilaf is the perfect accompaniment for our Chicken Korma, as well as lamb or raita.
Beetroot Chai
Ever since I saw pictures of this pretty pink drink, I knew I had to recreate it at home. I'm not much of a coffee drinker so adding beetroot to my version of traditional chai seemed like an interesting twist.
Thai "Green" Curry Meatballs
It's easy to transform our Thai Curry blend into a delicious homemade green curry paste using fresh cilantro and basil. You can play around with adding other ingredients, such as fresh lemongrass, chiles, kaffir lime leaves and shallots.
Ghormeh Sabzi (Persian Beef Stew)
Ghormeh Sabzi, a traditional Persian beef and bean stew, is loaded with herbs, citrus, and earthy turmeric.
Sake Penicillin Cocktail with Matcha Rim
A new twist on the Penicillin, this drink combines the subtle floral notes of sake, a pop of citrus, and warm honey sweetness to balance out the bite of Japanese whisky.
Grand Lake Veggie Dip
Take your crudite game to the next level with some veggies from the farmer's market and this oh-so-easy dip, made with our Grand Lake Shake. It's got the perfect balance of onion, garlic and mustardy zing.
Chile Colorado
Traditionally, this dish is made using whole dried chiles, which are boiled in water, pureed into a paste and pushed through a strainer. But you can replicate the flavors quite closely using ground chiles as well.
Simple Spicy Hot Cocoa
It's easy and delicious to whip up a steaming mug of hot cocoa for one using our Cocoa Powder. We add a pinch of Cayenne Pepper for a little kick, but it's optional, of course.
Chocolate Cake with Beet Buttercream Frosting
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a homemade dessert? With pink frosting! The chocolate cake is a classic, and our Beet Powder provides a natural food coloring so you can avoid the synthetic stuff in the bottle.
Coconut Hot Cocoa with Coconut Whipped Cream
Coconut milk hot cocoa is a rich, creamy treat perfect for cold weather. Make a spicy version by adding our Ceylon cinnamon and chile powder.

This recipe comes to us from Nik Sharma of A Brown Table, via the San Francisco Chronicle. The Juniper Berries add a subtle pine-like flavor note to the lamb, pairing nicely with the traditional Indian aromatics of coriander, cumin and ginger.
Muhammara
This spread is a tasty Turkish mash-up of super-foods including roasted red peppers, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, cumin, and Aleppo pepper.
Low and Slow BBQ Ribs
We love pre-cooking our ribs in the oven to make them extra delicious, without having to fuss around the grill for too many hours. The resulting ribs are tender, juicy and spiced just right.
Grilled Yucatan Shrimp
Our Carlito's Rojito Yucatan Rub was crafted with the flavors and colors of the Yucatan in mind. Achiote seeds give this rub a bright red color that permeates anything it touches.
Urumqi Lamb or Japanese Eggplant Skewers
You won't find a lot of cumin in Chinese cuisine, at least not in the regional varieties available to us here. But cumin is a staple of Northwest China, where it's a part of the traditional cuisine for the Muslim migrant population.
Slow Cooker Cochinita Pibil Tacos
Cochinita Pibil, a specialty of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, is traditionally slow-roasted in banana leaves and served with pickled red onions.
Horseradish Cream
Ground dried horseradish root is an excellent stand-in for the fresh variety. It's easy to keep on hand and it creates an even texture in sauces, dips and condiments.
