This trio of blends, made in collaboration with cookbook author, lifestyle expert and fashion designer Peter Som, pay homage to Peter's culinary upbringing in a Chinese-American home.
Peter says, “I’m super excited to partner with Burlap and Barrel for this collaboration. They’ve simply been a game-changer in the kitchen and have taken my cooking and baking to the next level. Each of these spice blends was inspired by the flavors I grew up with and still use to this day. Each blend is all about the balance of sweet and savory and the hits of flavor that ping pong around your mouth. The warming notes of Chinese five spice was the starting point, but from there I took things in a few different—and very delicious—directions.”
The 3-spice set contains:
-
“I gave Mom’s five spice a spirited pinch of black lime for a zesty kick that’s truly the spice of life. Take a shortcut to big flavor by using BIRD'S THE WORD like Mom does as a poultry rub for amazing roast chicken, or sprinkle generously on roasted veggies, seared steaks and bloody Marys to make them sing with umami. ”Ingredients:
Kosher salt, black lime, fermented white peppercorns, Lucknow fennel, royal cinnamon, Pemba cloves, smoked star anise
- The perfect seasoning for roast chicken
- Fold into your meatloaf mix
- Toss with cauliflower or broccoli before roasting
- Add a dash into your vinaigrette
-
"Add this (NOT SO) SWEET seasoning to fruit crumbles, cake batters, morning cereal or buttered toast for a sassier alternative to pumpkin spice. Warm cinnamon, cloves and star anise are accentuated by real vanilla and panela sugar for deep caramel flavors, making this blend a dreamy addition to creamy lattes and chais."Ingredients:
Panela cane sugar, royal cinnamon, Nyanza vanilla, Pemba cloves, smoked star anise, Lucknow fennel, fermented white peppercorns
- Use in pumpkin or apple pie
- Fold into banana bread batter
- Infuse into syrup for pancakes and french toast!
-
“Keep this flavor sprinkle close by at all times for snack attacks! Inspired by my favorite topping spice blends like za’atar and furikake, FEELIN' SNACKY provides a fun, sweet & savory mix of nutty sesame seeds, crushed coriander and spicy chili flake that’ll be BFFs with your rice bowls, ramen, scrambled eggs, grilled cheese and buttery popcorn.”Ingredients:
Silk chili (silk chili, sunflower seed oil, salt), benne seed, panela cane sugar, Red River coriander, black Urfa chili (Urfa chili, sunflower seed oil, salt), kosher salt
