O
ur four decades of selling
spices have taught us that cooking is not a one
size fits all world: far from it. We’ve learned the
true beauty of cooking lies in the incredible
diversity of the people who cook, and in the
incredible variety of the food they cook. Those
years have also taught us for all of our differences,
for the tremendous variety of what we cook,
people who cook have something in common.
They care enough to make the lives of those
around them better. The research shows that
people who share dinner together at the kitchen
table go on to share a brighter future. A brighter
future made possible by people with the spirit to
build it one meal at a time. It is this spirit we
celebrate, this spirit we hope to spread, this spirit
that makes all who cook ONE. Through our pages
we hope to share the greater family of human
kindness that we’ve found all cooks belong to.
Come along and join us.
Be ONE.
Please take a look at this catalog.
We have come out with a lot of great catalogs
over the years and I have been proud of all of them,
but through a lot of work by a lot of great people our
catalogs really are so much better than they have ever
been. Much of the improvement comes with the help
of our customers who have so graciously allowed us to
not just feature their recipes, but a slice of their life as
well. If you have not spent much time with our catalog
before, or if it has been awhile since you’ve paged all
the way through, please give this one a little closer
look.
These are what people who really cook are like.
Night after night they are in their kitchens because
of their honest desire to make something nice for the
people they share their lives with. They cook with real
food from real stores, the kind that you can probably
find in your refrigerator and pantry right now. And on
top of it all, their food tastes really good. The faces and
ages and places may all be somewhat different from
your own, but when you look at what is in their hearts
I hope you find something of your own reflection in
their pictures and stories. My thanks go out to everybody who has helped bring these pages to life.
And if you have not been in one of our stores lately,
please give them another look as well. Just as we have
worked to bring the spirit of cooking into our catalog,
we have done the same for the stores. I understand
that everyone is a little more cautious about going
out to shop these days, but I really do think our stores
are a great time. Spices really are these wonderful
gifts from nature and you just can’t beat the chance
to explore them in-person and let your nose help find
the seasonings that will make you and the people
you cook for happy. We also have great people there
to help you find the things that make sense for you.
Plus with our average store sale running under $20 we
don’t break the bank.
Whether you shop in-person or through the mail
the real value of Penzeys happens in your kitchen. Because online or in store, either way you will be assured
of great flavor for months of meals to come. Tasty food
around the table with those you care about. That is
where we want to be.
Enjoy –
P.S. Our Buffalo store at 783 Elmwood Avenue
should be open by the time you read this, but please
call or visit us online to make sure before you make
the drive over.

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

Arrowroot has long been used in making clear glazes for
fruit pies. Because of its superior thickening ability (use half
as much as flour) and clear look, arrowroot is excellent for
stir-fry sauce. To thicken sauces or gravies: Use 1-2 tsp.
(dissolved in a bit of cool water) per cup. Push food to one
side of pan. Tip pan for juices to collect on one side and
drizzle in arrowroot-water slurry. Stir over medium heat
until slightly thickened, toss to coat food and serve.

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

BarbaraRose is right at home in her new
kitchen, where she puts her own twist on
recipes. Below right, husband Jerry cozies
up with Jackie and Paco.
BarbaraRose Farber
B
arbaraRose Farber lives in Las
Cruces, New Mexico, so it’s natural
that one of her favorite recipes is a
popular Southwest dish.
“Chimichangas are usually deepfried and taste wonderful,” she
writes. “I wanted to make these more
heart healthy, so I came up with a
way to lower the fat content without
changing the taste—by baking them.
“Now that we live in New Mexico,
I have incorporated even more spices
into the foods I prepare,” adds
BarbaraRose. “Penzeys makes them
sparkle!”
She is quick to admit, however,
that her cooking has not always
“sparkled.”
“Soon after my husband Jerry and
I married we moved from New York
to California. I taught myself to cook
by trial and error. And believe me,
there were many errors, which
turned into breakfast for dinner on
many a night.
“New Mexico is known for its chile
peppers,” she adds. “I enjoy roasting
my own and adding them to our
meals. I have been a Penzeys
customer for ten years and I can’t
think of a meal I make that does not
use at least one Penzeys spice. I love
the way ingredients come together,
filling the house with wonderful
smells.”

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.

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).

“I’m sending a photo of my family baking pizza back
in Portugal when we were there for summer vacation (I’m
originally from there).When we were growing up, my mom
used to bake pizza almost every Friday night and we loved
it. Here, Mom is teaching the grandchildren how to make it
from scratch. They had such fun.
“In the other photo, my sister, my
daughters Mariana and Beatriz, my
nephew Joao Diogo, my dad Joao
and my mom Celia are sitting down
to a delicious meal. I love cooking
with your spices!”—Maria Calais
Pedro, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
“This is a photo of some of our Wednesday Girls—a group of
six friends who have known each other for 20 to 40 years. Three
years ago, when we had not all been together for a few years,
we realized that life is short so we decided to get together on
the first Wednesday of each month.
“In the beginning we met at a restaurant. For the past year
and a half, we have been meeting at my house. I love to cook…
and we all love to eat!”—Marcia Lang, Two Harbors, Minnesota
“My grandsons Alex and Sam get off the
school bus at my home each afternoon.
Naturally, two growing boys are hungry. I
enjoy making them cookies and other treats
using Penzeys products. It is a joy to hear the
boys enter the house yelling, �I smell cookies
or brownies!’”—Mary Bettie Form,
Colonial Heights, Virginia
“Years ago, my brother gave my husband a Penzeys Gift Certificate (knowing I had no
skill or experience in cooking). I used it and was hooked. Now, three daughters (and one
more on the way) later, I have learned to cook and bake with your help, and I am teaching
my girls to love being in the kitchen as much as I do.
“The oldest, Sarah, loves to crack eggs and do the bulk of the stirring. My second,
Kate, smells and tastes everything—your vanilla extract, cocoa powder, etc. Little Molly
loves to make a mess with anything we bake, and they all get excited when I get out the
chocolate chips…or the sugar…or the cinnamon. We love it all! Thank you.”—Karen Smith,
Allentown, Pennsylvania

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

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

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

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

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

Celery Seed
Black pepper is the best spice for beef, but good cooks
also add a touch of celery. Whole celery seed is used in
salad dressings, soups and pickling recipes, and
rubbed on large cuts of meat. Ground celery is used
more sparingly to season smaller, quicker cooking cuts.
Use half as much ground celery as whole celery.

GROUND CINNAMON
China Cinnamon—Tung Hing
Extra sweet, spicy and strong. Perfect for everything
from cinnamon rolls to apple pie, Christmas cookies
to French toast. China cinnamon is perfect for
cinnamon sugar—mix 2-3 tsp. in 1⁄ 2 cup granulated
sugar and keep it on the table. Sprinkle in pancake
and waffle batter, shake on oatmeal and cream of
wheat, yogurt and fresh fruit.

Indonesia Cinnamon—Korintje
Sweet and mellow, Korintje cinnamon is the type of
cinnamon we all remember from our childhood.
Fragrant Korintje cinnamon is as strong as China
cinnamon, but smoother and not as nippy. We love
Korintje cinnamon for sprinkling—on hot cereal,
oatmeal and cream of wheat, French toast, pancakes
and waffles, sugar cookies, and pie crusts. Perfect for
cinnamon breads, quick, yeast, or toasted with raisins.
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.

Mike and Cynthia Field’s travels have
taken them to the Himalayas.
Cynthia Field
Cynthia Field
Writer: Jim
Cynthia and Mike Field often
laugh about the conversation
they overheard while picking
strawberries in a farm field one
spring.
A father and son were filling
their baskets nearby and the boy
asked, “Daddy, don’t you have
enough berries?”
The father replied: “Just a few
more, son.”
A while later the boy said:
“Daddy, you have a lot more
berries.”
And the father replied, “There
are just a few more really good
ones here.”
Still later: “Daddy when
will you have enough berries?”
followed by “Just a few more,
son.”
The conversation could just
as well have taken place between
the Fields. Mike is usually ready
to stop picking before Cynthia,
who always wants “just a few
more perfect berries.” After
tasting Cynthia’s Old-Fashioned
Strawberry Shortcake (shown on
our cover) you’ll know why she
doesn’t want to stop.
The couple recently moved
to New Hampshire from the
Old-fashioned Strawberry Cinnamon Shortcake
This incredible recipe from Cynthia will put any store-bought shortcake to shame.

qt. strawberries, hulled and slightly
mashed
TB. sugar
TB. VANILLA SUGAR
Shortcake:
2 Cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1
вЃ„3 Cup sugar
1
вЃ„4 tsp. GROUND NUTMEG
1
вЃ„4 tsp. CINNAMON
1
вЃ„3 Cup butter
1 egg, well beaten
2-4 TB. milk
2 TB. butter, melted
Whipped cream:
1 Cup heavy cream
1 TB. powdered sugar
1
вЃ„2 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
Preheat oven to 425В°. Mix the strawberries with
the sugar and VANILLA SUGAR and set aside.
For the shortcake: Grease a round, 9-inch cake
pan and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together
the flour and baking powder. Add the sugar,
NUTMEG and CINNAMON. Blend in the butter
and egg and mix well. Add enough milk to make
a moist, slightly sticky dough. Start with 2 TB.
and add more as needed. Sprinkle a generous
amount of flour on the table, place the dough
on top, and roll the dough gently into a 9-inch
round. Place the round into the cake pan. Don’t
worry if it isn’t a perfect fit. Brush with the melted
butter. Bake at 425В° for 12-14 minutes. Remove
from the pan, let cool briefly and split apart
carefully into two layers. We’ve found a bread
knife works well.
Spread the strawberries between the layers and
on top of the shortcake. Top with whipped cream
or serve it on the side. To make the whipped
cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar
and VANILLA until it reaches your desired
consistency. Putting the mixing bowl and beaters
in the freezer for half an hour will give you
successful whipped cream every time!

There’s rarely a dull moment for Bernadette

Bernadette Ghaemmaghami’s
husband is a “chili head” who enjoys
spicy recipes. “Paul loves spicy food—
the hotter the better,” explains
Bernadette. “I thought the ground
Penzeys Chipotle Pepper might be an
interesting ingredient to try in
brownies. He loves them!”
While the combination of a little
sweet and a little heat sets her
hubby’s taste buds tingling,
Bernadette clearly is not baking this
treat for the family’s 4-year-old twins
Lauren and Jordan. (They are
happily in the macaroni and cheese
stage.)
Bernadette is a family practice
physician turned stay-at-home mom
in Glen Allen, Virginia, who has
discovered that raising kids and
doing household chores leaves little
time for much else. But cooking is a
labor of love for Bernadette, who
enjoys sharing good food with family
and friends. She loves to experiment
with recipes like Chicken Salad with
Apples and Raisins (page 27)—which
uses Fox Point Seasoning and
Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper.
“I put that together as a brunch
item for friends and visiting family,”
Bernadette says. “The apples and
raisins add a nice texture and flavor.”

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.

meats.

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.
Chives
Freeze-drying allows chives to maintain a very
close-to-fresh flavor and texture, and bright green
color. Even the very small amount of moisture on a
salad will rehydrate them. Give a hint of garden herb
freshness to omelets, chicken soup, baked potatoes
and vegetables. Freeze-dried and circle cut. From
California.
Use to marinate beef brisket. Hand-mixed from: Brown
and yellow mustard seed, coriander, allspice, cinnamon,
dill seed, bay leaves, ginger, cloves, Tellicherry
peppercorns, star anise, juniper berries, mace, cardamom,
red pepper.

Cocoa Powder
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.

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 stronger-flavored meats, such as
lamb, are turned into the most delicious
dishes imaginable through spicing and slow
cooking. Tandoori, Maharajah and Sweet
Curry are rich and flavorful without being
hot. Hot Curry and Vindaloo are hot and
spicy. Garam Masala, Rogan Josh, SatГ©
and Balti are somewhere in between. Just
starting out? Try Sweet Curry, Rogan Josh,
Tandoori, Balti and SatГ© Seasoning.
Baltistan is an ancient region of northernmost Pakistan
with influences from Persia, Tibet and China. Balti
meals are rich stews cooked in a karahi (small wok),
and would be eaten with naan and other Indian
breads. The deliciously spicy but not too hot flavor of
Balti makes it a great choice for chicken, pork or beef.
Hand-mixed from: coriander, garlic, ginger, cumin, dundicut
chilies, Ceylon cinnamon, brown mustard seeds, cardamom,
clove, fennel, fenugreek, charnushka, ajwain, star anise, black
cardamom, cilantro, anise seed and bay leaf.

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

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.

in every 100 lbs. of curry powder. Add glorious color

В№/2 tsp. in 1 TB. butter for 2 min., add 1 cup rice, 2 cups
water and dash of salt. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat,
simmer for 18 minutes. Hand-mixed from: turmeric,

pepper and saffron.

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

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 46 cups cubed potatoes, cook till tender (45 min. or so).
For authentic fiery hot Vindaloo as served in beach
front restaurants in India, add an equal part cayenne
pepper. Hand-mixed from: coriander, garlic, cumin, ginger,
cinnamon, crushed brown mustard, cayenne, jalapeГ±o
pepper, cardamom, turmeric, black pepper, cloves.

mother-in-law with sharing this easy-to-fix chicken curry recipe.
“My mom was not a good cook,” says Anna-Cajsa. “When I got married,
my recipe collection was rather thin, so my husband pleaded with his
mother to share some recipes. This is one she had been making for decades.
“It was my first experience with curry, and it was a delightful one—everyone in my family has become a fan of chicken curry. I’ll serve this on summer days when it is too hot to use the oven, and when we’re on camping
trips. The ingredients are easy to transport and cook…and cleanup is a
breeze!
“I am a full-time mom of three girls and when I cook, all three are clamoring to help out. My youngest sits on a giant shortening can on the kitchen
counter while she looks on. Sometimes I have three wooden spoons in the
bowl as each of them mixes!” One of their favorite treats is CinnamonTopped Oatmeal Muffins (see page 17).
In a zip-top bag, combine the flour, CURRY
POWDER, salt and PEPPER. Add the chicken pieces
and shake to evenly coat. Heat the margarine or
butter in a large frying pan over medium-high
heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5
minutes, turning once, until they are browned well.
Add the onion, raisins and rice and stir to blend.
Pour in the chicken broth. Reduce the heat to low,
cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the rice
is cooked. Anna’s husband likes to top his serving
with shredded coconut.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Green peppercorns come from the same Indian vines
as our robust black Tellicherry peppercorns, but are
harvested before they mature, yielding green pepper
with a fresh, clean flavor. Well-suited for poultry,
vegetables and seafood. Dried green peppercorns
can be ground in a peppermill like black peppercorns
or crushed between your fingers. From India.

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.

Paul Ghaemmaghami and twin daughters
Jordan and Lauren are all smiles when
Bernadette is working her magic in the kitchen.
Kerry, Kay, Kirk and Sarah Murchie make
merry in the kitchen on Mom’s birthday.
Kay Murchie
When our daughters were
growing up, we really tried to make
a point of sitting down together for
dinner to talk about how everyone’s
day went,” says Kay Murchie, who
loves cooking with her husband
Kirk in Portland, Maine.
Now that their daughters Sarah
and Kerry are grown, the Murchies
still like to make time for great
family feasts, whether it’s a “murder
mystery” dinner with the neighbors,
or a nice family supper in the
dining room. “We have a breakfast
bar in the kitchen but around the
table it’s more relaxing, and
spirited conversations come more
naturally,” Kay explains.
Lately, Sarah has been getting
pointers from her parents on how
to prepare certain family favorites.
“She is getting married in October
and would like to be able to make a
meal from start to finish,” Kay
shares. One go-to dish for special
occasions is Kay’s Lamb Meatballs.
The recipe, which includes Penzeys
Lamb Seasoning and Spearmint,
also works as a delicious filling for
stuffed mushrooms.

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.
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.

breading, if desired. Great for turkey or duck
breast, pork roast, chops or cutlets and all cuts of
veal (especially stuffed, baked veal breast). It's the
best spice possible for scrambled eggs and
omelets, and a must for catfish. Hand-mixed from:
salt, Special Extra Bold black pepper, citric acid,
lemon peel, garlic and minced green onion. For saltfree lemon-pepper, see Sunny Spain.

where it is sprinkled heavily on meats, especially beef
and pork before grilling, broiling or stir-frying.

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.

Terry Hudon, left, became a
Penzeys fan after receiving
a gift card from sister
Pauline Baker.
Terry Hudon
When Terry Hudon says
“deviled eggs are deviled eggs”
she’s just being modest, because
hers are clearly eggs-traordinary.
What makes them so special?
Terry combines mayonnaise,
dried mustard, white pepper—
which provides a nice subtle
bite—and a little salt. Then she
amps them up a bit with pickle
juice. And then the finishing
touch—both black and white
sesame seeds for a unique
texture and look.
Terry, a building material
sales representative in Stuart,
Florida, learned years ago that
sometimes the way to her
customers’ hearts is through
their stomachs. “I cook
constantly for my clients,” Terry
confides. “I’d rather prepare
See SPICE INDEX on page 61
Sesame Deviled Eggs
Sadly, we could not locate any square chickens or an egg cuber,
so we had to make plain old egg-shaped eggs. Thankfully the
filling and sesame mixture made our eggs TASTE and look eggstra special.

something for others than cook
for myself.”
She is known to have shared
her baked goods and other
delicious treats with them, along
with her deviled eggs, which are
always a big hit.
For extra fun, Terry
sometimes makes square deviled
eggs.
“If square chickens cannot be
found, go to your nearest
kitchen gadget store and find
molds which form hardboiled
eggs into squares,” she advises.
“Enjoy the looks your family and
guests will give these unusual
but tasty eggs. They make
people laugh, that’s why I like
them,” she chuckles.
There’s certainly nothing
square about that.

Place the eggs in a saucepan filled with water. Bring to a boil
and boil gently for 5 minutes. Terry finds that by placing a
large spoon in the pan, she can turn the eggs often so that
the yolks stay in the middle. The spoon also absorbs excess
heat that helps ensure the shells will not crack. While the
eggs are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, MUSTARD
POWDER, salt, pickle juice and WHITE PEPPER. Using the
larger amount of mustard and white pepper will give the
eggs some heat! Drain the eggs and peel carefully. If using
a square egg mold, place the peeled eggs in the molds and
follow the mold directions. Cut in half. Remove the yolks and
add to the mayonnaise mix. Blend well. Dip the cut edge of
the boiled eggs in the BLACK and WHITE SESAME SEEDS.
Don’t try and move the sesame seeds around once they are
on the egg, just sprinkle more on if need be. Fill with the egg
mixture and serve.

What a
surprise it
was for my
daughter
Deborah and
I to discover
we had each bought a Penzeys
Mini Gift Box to give to each
other for Christmas! We couldn’t
resist having my husband take this
picture. —Diana G.
I am a person who loves to cook
and cooks to love. Just wanted to
tell you that I love your products,
catalog and the recipes. I’m never
anxious about making (your) new
recipes for guests because they
always turn out great.
For Thanksgiving, I had been
experimenting with stuffing recipes
for four weeks prior to the big day.
The recipes were so-so, maybe
borderline good. I was looking
for something outstanding. I
wanted one to clip and stick in my
cookbook to end the search forever
more.
Did I ever find it in Dena Martin’s
Apple-Cranberry Stuffing (Holiday
2009 catalog, page 40)! My family
and our four dinner guests could
not stop raving.
Please send a “Bravo!” to Dena
Martin…and to your food staff
there at Penzeys. I can’t wait to try
your other recipes in the catalog.
—Jeanie B.
Our family raises a wide variety
of foods on our small farm in
Xenia, Ohio. We enjoy fresh milk
and cheese from our dairy goats,
delicious eggs and meat from

PENZEYS SPICES | SPRING
our pasture-raised chickens and a
colorful variety of vegetables from
our garden.
Each year, many baby goats are
born here, and we like to name
them according to certain themes,
such as the names of flowers, or of
favorite storybook characters. Last
year, the theme was “spices,” thus
we now have goats named Ginger,
Saffron and Cinnamon running
around the pasture.
The
little tan
kid in the
photo was
originally
named
“Spicy,”
but that
soon changed when my 7-year-old
daughter accidentally called him
“Penzey” instead. It only made
sense as good spices equate to
Penzeys in our household, and he’s
been called Penzey ever since.
Thanks for helping make
everything taste better. —Jill D.
Hello!
For 16 years I

I am writing about the receipt
for oatmeal cookies in your Winter
2010 catalog (page 17).
My wife and I have tried at least
12 different receipts and they were
a disaster, and we threw them away.
Along came your winter catalog.
That oatmeal raisin cookie is the
best!
I hope you don’t mind, but I have
shared this with several members of
our family.
Thank you! —Clayton M.
I’m not one to write to let people
know I LOVE their stuff…but
you are the exception. We LOVE
your catalog/magazine and all of
the stories and recipes and Bill’s
personal notes. We love the honesty
about the salts and the true love
he has for his family business. We,
too, own a longstanding (now third
generation) family business and
know how special that is.
We LOVE the spices. The ones
bought at the grocery store were
good…until my mom got a Penzeys
catalog and ordered some spices.
Then she gave me her catalog. Even
my kids can hardly wait to get the
spices. It’s like a taste trip around
the world.
We look forward to the new
catalogs and seeing the new recipes
and family stories of what people
love to cook with your spices. Thank
you! —The Millers

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

Seasoning? Northwoods Fire has the same great flavor as
the original, with the added kick of smoky ground
Chipotle and hot Cayenne red pepper. A wonderful
seasoning for all grilled foods—steaks, fish, chicken and
chops, even grilled vegetables. Hand-mixed from: coarse
flake salt, paprika, ground chipotle pepper, black pepper,
cayenne red pepper, thyme, rosemary and granulated garlic.

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.
Onion powder adds lots of flavor, and is a convenient way
to slip onions past children. White onion has sweet raw
onion flavor, toasted onion has a French onion flavor. To
make Onion Salt: Mix 1 TB Onion Powder with 3 TB salt.

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.

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
French herbs, not too tart, lightly thickened by crushed
brown mustard. Basic recipe for 1 cup dressing: Mix 1-2
TB. seasoning in 2 TB. water, let stand 5 minutes. Whisk
in В№/3 cup red wine vinegar and В№/2 cup olive oil,
refrigerate. Hand-mixed from: sugar, brown mustard, salt,
garlic, black pepper, lemon, onion, French tarragon, white
pepper, chives, thyme and cracked rosemary.

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

L
Ley Clifton and her husband Garry,
photographed on their 20th wedding
anniversary, stay busy managing a large
garden and enjoying their beloved golden
retrievers.
Ley Clifton
ey Clifton created her Caesarstyle Salad Dressing recipe after much
experimentation. “I have never been
a fan of bottled dressings,” she writes
from Orlando, Florida, “and since we
have citrus trees and a large garden, I
make all of my dressings.”
Because of health concerns Ley
is not a fan of raw eggs—a staple in
traditional Caesar Salad dressing—so
she was determined to sidestep that
issue by creating a recipe that was
both savory and healthy.
Mission accomplished.
“I have found that Penzeys Italian
Vinegar and Oil seasoning gives a
unique flavor to all of my dressings,”
Ley says. “We prefer to use more garlic
than is usual but all of my recipes are
by personal taste.” You’ll also find
California Style Seasoned Pepper in
many of Ley’s recipes. (Visit www.
penzeys.com to find another one.)
Ley and husband Garry maintain a
large garden, taking full advantage of
the extended growing season in the
Sunshine State. “As I am writing this
Garry is in the garden picking fresh
peas,” Ley notes. “We have lettuce
nearly every night at this time.”
And they sure know what to do
with it.

Pam reels in a deepwater lingcod and proud
husband David helps show it off.
F
rom her isolated home on
Kodiak Island, Alaska, Pam Pingree
writes, “The only way out here is by
boat or seaplane, so we really have
to think ahead and stock our pantry.
By spring, it can be very low so it
gets challenging, but some of my
best meals have come from being
resourceful.
“I’m pretty much a self-taught
cook. I grew up as one of seven kids
in a very small kitchen. My mom
didn’t give out many lessons, but
she always encouraged me to try
anything. I like to make food from
scratch just like she did.
“Cooking with my kids and
teaching them along the way is
my favorite thing about cooking.
Everyone in our family enjoys
getting in the kitchen. As one of
my daughters put it, �I didn’t know
cooking could be so much fun.’

Crab Salad
Pam is fortunate enough to have access to freshly
caught crab. She adds that grilled shrimp or sliced,
grilled chicken breasts may also be used in this
satisfying salad.
Dressing:
11вЃ„2 tsp. BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING BASE
11вЃ„2 tsp. water
1
вЃ„2 Cup mayonnaise
1
вЃ„4 Cup buttermilk
2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. Dijon-style mustard
1 garlic clove, minced (or 1вЃ„4 tsp. MINCED
GARLIC)
1 lb. high quality cooked crab meat (Pam
uses fresh-caught tanner or “snow” crab)
Salad:
8 Cups salad greens, torn into bite-sized
pieces (roughly 1 large head romaine)
1
вЃ„2 Cup sliced red onion (1 small)
1
вЃ„2 tsp. CRACKED BLACK PEPPER
1
вЃ„4 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated
(marketed as snow crab) for dinner,
we raid our crab pots which are set
all year long.”
Pam adds, “The first time I used
Penzeys salad dressings my thought
was how very versatile these are. They
are just the ticket for my seafood
salads!”
In a medium bowl, combine the BUTTERMILK
RANCH DRESSING BASE and the water and
let stand for 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise,
buttermilk, olive oil, mustard and garlic and mix
well. Reserve half of the dressing in a separate bowl
or cruet. To the bowl with the other half of the
dressing, add the crab and stir gently so the crab
doesn’t completely break apart. Cover and chill
until ready to serve. For the salad, divide the greens
among 6 plates. Top with a mound of the crab
salad. Arrange the onion around the crab. Sprinkle
with PEPPER and cheese. Serve the reserved
dressing on the side.

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.

Pasta Sprinkle
Pasta Sprinkle is the perfect all-purpose combination of herbs, wonderful sprinkled on
chicken or fish before baking, on steamed or sauteed vegetables, 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.
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.

Ham Logs and Cherry Sauce
Sally K. Field says, “This was one of my mother’s
recipes that she made for special occasions. It was
always a wonderful treat.”
1 lb. ground ham
8 oz. freshly ground pork
11вЃ„2 Cups soft, fine bread crumbs
1 egg, well-beaten
1вЃ„2 tsp. REGULAR MUSTARD POWDER
1вЃ„4 Cup brown sugar
1 tsp. prepared mustard
If you don’t see ground ham at the store, and you
don’t have a meat grinder, we’ve found a blender
works well. Simply cut the ham into small cubes
and blend on the pulse setting in 4 batches,
stirring if need be to get a consistent, finely
ground ham. If you try to place more than about
1
вЃ„4 pound in the blender, it may start to overheat.
Preheat oven to 350В°. Combine the ham, pork,
bread crumbs, egg and MUSTARD POWDER; mix
well. Divide into 10 pieces. Knead each piece
briefly with your hands and roll gently into a
log. Place in a foil-lined shallow pan. Combine
the brown sugar and prepared mustard. Brush
over the top of the logs. Bake at 350В° for 40-45
minutes. Serve with hot cherry sauce.
Cherry Sauce:
2 1вЃ„2 Cups fresh or frozen pitted red sour
cherries (1 15-oz. can tart cherries in juice
works well)
1вЃ„2 Cup sugar
2 TB. cornstarch mixed in 1 TB. water
Place cherries and their juice in a small heavybottomed saucepan. Add the sugar and stir to
dissolve. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Drizzle in the cornstarch/water mix. Reduce heat
to low and cook until thick and clear, stirring
constantly, about 2-4 minutes.

Pork Chop Seasoning has a wonderful smoky flavor—it’s

Poultry Seasoning
A traditional poultry rub and stuffing seasoning, a
sage-rich Southern blend. For mouth-watering stuffing,
just mix in В№/2 tsp. of Poultry Seasoning for each 4 cups
of dressing. Poultry Seasoning is also nice rubbed on
chicken, turkey, and pork. Hand-mixed from: sage, white
pepper, bell peppers, lemon peel, savory, rosemary, dill
weed, allspice, thyme, marjoram, ginger.
Rosemary is the perfect herb for seasoning pork and
lamb, from chops to roasts. Try rosemary on chicken and
fish with garlic, pepper and salt. Rosemary is often used
with oregano in Italian dishes. If you are cooking for
children, the powdered rosemary is nice.

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.

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.

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.

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,

Preheat oven to 325В°. Wash the ham and pat
dry. Score the ham to help the fat run off during
cooking and stud the ham with as many WHOLE
CLOVES as desired. Poking a small hole in the
ham with a thin knife and then sliding the clove
in instead of pushing it in will help keep the clove
head intact, which is the sweetest part of the
clove. Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake
at 325В° for about 2-21вЃ„2 hours or until the internal
temperature reaches 130В°. While the ham is
baking, put the orange juice in a small saucepan
and heat over medium-high heat until the orange
juice reduces by half. Add the remaining glaze
ingredients and stir to combine. Remove from
heat. When the internal temperature of the ham
has reached 130В°, coat generously with the glaze
and return to the oven. Continue baking the
ham until the internal temperature reaches 165В°,
about another 30 minutes, basting with glaze
every 10 minutes.

Andy, Rob, Kyle and Scott share the cooking
gene in their family.
The Winkelmans
F
ood and the Winkelmans go
together. “We aren’t built for speed,
except my grandson Kyle,” laughs
Rob Winkelman of St. Ignace,
Michigan. “Nothing is better than
family sitting down with a nice meal
prepared by all hands.”
Recently, when Rob’s son Andy
traveled with his wife Emily to
Northern Michigan from their home
in North Carolina, the family
gathered for a big rib supper. “All of
the Winkelmans made a different
style of ribs,” shares Rob. “There are
three family kitchens in St. Ignace
that can be used at the same time, so
everything was kept hush-hush until
the dinner bell sounded.
“While Andy brings Carolina
flavors to the table, my son Scott’s
and my tastes are Northern
Michigan,” explains Rob. That often
means fresh Great Lakes whitefish
on the grill. “The key is Penzeys
Lemon Pepper and a sprinkle of
paprika for color. Otherwise,
whitefish is pretty white,” Rob jokes.
The Winkelman guys were happy
to share some of their favorite
recipes, including Scott’s
mouthwatering Chicken Parmesan
recipe here. On page 52 you’ll find a
cinnamon-y French Toast from
grandson Kyle, 14, who is following
in the Winkelman cooking tradition.

Cups grated mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375В°. Place the chicken breasts
between 2 pieces of waxed paper and pound
until they are about 1⁄2-inch thick. If you don’t

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

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

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.

For rich roast pork flavored stock, use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Pork
Base for each cup (8 oz.) hot water. This is equivalent to
1 bouillon cube, though Pork Soup Base has more
flavor and less salt. Try making pork noodle soup for a
nice change of pace, just use pork instead of chicken or
beef, and add 1 TB. Pork Soup Base to 2 quarts soup to
enhance the flavor. For truly great gravy, add 1 tsp. Pork
Base to 2-3 TB. drippings from pork roast or pork
chops for 2 cups gravy.

Seafood Soup Base and Seasoning
For rich seafood stock, use В№/2 - 3/4 tsp. Seafood base for
each cup (8 oz.) hot water. Seafood stock is a great base
for chowder, gumbo or bisque, or to use in place of
clam juice. To make quick linguine with clam sauce,
cook 1 lb. pasta. While pasta is cooking, heat 2 TB. olive
oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2-4 minced
garlic cloves and 1 can clams, reserving the juice. Saute
for 2 minutes, add clam juice, В№/2 cup water and 1-2 tsp.
Seafood Base. Cook over medium heat 3-5 minutes,
stirring, until reduced by about half. Serve over cooked,
drained pasta.

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

Cooking, quilting and canning keep Kathleen

K
Kathleen
Bernauer
athleen Bernauer calls herself
a “more is better” cook, so when you
see a recipe like her Ham and Bean
Vegetable Soup you can count on
her slipping a few extra veggies into
the pot. “This is just the basic
recipe,” confides Kathleen. “I now
add more carrots, potato, celery and
onion.”
One thing hasn’t changed over
the years—it is still a much
requested dish at social functions.
Actually, make that a much dictated
dish. “They’ll say �Oh, you’ll bring
that’ and I’ve just been �voluntated’
again,” she laughs. “I thought I made
a great bean soup before I tried this
recipe. This is a GREAT bean soup.”
Kathleen has been a Penzeys
customer for many years. Although
she moved to Alaska 15 years ago she
is still an occasional customer in the
Torrance, California store, where
during her last visit she donned a
Penzeys apron and posed for a
photograph.
She’s happily retired in Chugiak,
about 45 minutes from Anchorage,
where she cooks, quilts, and cans
fruits and vegetables.
“I’ll never leave,” says Kathleen.
“Everything is wonderful here.”

Sally K. Field
G
ood recipes have long lives.
Just ask Sally K. Field of Hampden,
Maine.
Sally writes, “I do not remember a
time when my mother didn’t make
this cake…and it was always a treat.
When I was getting ready to be
married, I copied a few of Mom’s
recipes. I was surprised to see that
particular cake recipe was one she
originally got from my husband-tobe’s grandmother!”
Another recipe that rekindles fond
memories is Sally’s mom’s Ham Logs
and Cherry Sauce (recipe on page
40). “This was something my mother
made for special family dinners. I
do remember it was always greeted
with pleasure.
I make the
logs by rolling
them between
my hands and
I can tell you for sure
they will not all look exactly alike,”
she laughs.
Sally’s handiwork extends well
beyond the kitchen. She loves
to quilt. “I’m in the process of
developing some advanced quilting
classes for a local quilt shop,” she
says. “It’s a good way to keep busy as I
wait for temperatures above freezing
and the first spring growth to pop
here in Hampden.”
Strolling through Rockefeller Gardens
in Seal Harbor, Maine, is a springtime
pleasure for Sally.

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

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.

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.

A
Billie Dickinson
friend introduced me to
Penzeys spices years ago and I’ve
been a faithful customer ever since,”
says Billie Dickinson of Silverdale,
Washington. “There is absolutely
nothing like that first whiff when I
open a new bag of cinnamon. Yum!
“I started baking when I was very
young. My mother made the meat
and potatoes, but she hated to bake.
So the cakes and cookies were left to
me. I’m still not that good at meat
and potatoes, but if you can live on
desserts…” laughs Billie.
“I have three amazing children,
Anthony, Drew and Julia. I cook
for them and all their friends. I’m
happiest when cooking for an army.
I can’t think of a better way to tell
loved ones that you are thinking of
them than to share something you
have made.”
When Billie isn’t cooking she
might well be fiddling away her time.
“My father Glenn is an old-time
fiddler. I realize how very special his
music is, which is why I am learning
to play.
“When our fiddler group gets
together, there is always someone
willing to eat. My grandmother’s
recipe for Oatmeal Pie is a favorite
treat. She was a wonderful cook,
whether it was everyday food or
special treats. It’s funny how we
remember good food from our
childhood,” Billie smiles. “Even the
plates!”
Oatmeal Pie
Billie shares, “This is a rich pie, and absolutely yummy.
I got this recipe from my grandmother, Freda.”

“I don’t have a sunny spot for my garden, so I
grow my veggies in pots,” says Billie, who
seems to have quite a harvest on her hands.

Bridget and her brother Matthew put their
heads together at a family feast. If there isn’t a
reason to get together, Bridget makes one up!
Bridget
Zimmerman
I
can’t wait!” writes Bridget
Zimmerman of Buffalo, New York,
about the newest Penzeys store arriving
in her hometown this spring. “My
friend Pam Petrushesky, who is Greek
and a fabulous cook, hooked me on
your spices and showed me the ease of
cooking well.
“Buffalonians tend to be pretty
opinionated about food, especially our
chicken wings and kielbasa. But there
is always food and plenty of it. Take
pierogies—great teams of grandmas
get together and make thousands at a
time to sell for church fundraisers.
“Buffalo is a great place to raise a
family,” Bridget adds. “We liked
exploring different cultures with my
girls as they got older so we would try a
different ethnic restaurant the first
Friday of each month.”
The first snowmelts in Buffalo each
spring bring big melting-pot
celebrations. “During our huge St.
Patrick’s Day party, everyone is Irish,”
she shares. “And on Dyngus Day,
Buffalo’s post-Lenten party to shake
off cabin fever, everyone is Polish!”
Here, Bridget’s friend Pam shares
her version of party-pleasing Buffalo
Chicken Dip. You’ll find Bridget’s
irresistible Mexican Cheesy Chicken

One for the Road to Uniqueness
There is just so much so cool about cooking.
For each of us our cooking tells a story of where we are
from, where we have been, and who we’ve met along our
way. With so many places, so many experiences, and so many
different people to surround ourselves with, there really is
no way for any two cooks to share the same tale.
With the coming opening of our Buffalo store we are
getting to meet a whole bunch more cooks who have found
themselves in a very good spot for cooking. Maybe it is the
location, or the people, or possibly even the effects of all
that snow, but something about Buffalo really does seem to
excite the people there about bringing their own very
flavorful takes to the food they cook and share with those
around them.
Try this tasty dish. It is part Buffalo, and part Mexico,
while being entirely Bridget Zimmerman. Make it just the
way she does or make it a starting point for your own Cheesy
Chicken Adventure.
Enjoy,
