The Spiceman is back!
Hi - It was great to meet you last week at the Off The Hook CSF in the Historic Farmers' Market. I'll be back on Thursday afternoon from 3-6 PM.
My Fisherman's Kits & Grilling Kits arrived (a day too late) last week, so I'll have plenty this time around. It's fascinating to see the very different spice blends favoured for seafood in different countries. The Fisherman's Kit includes Provençal Herbs For fish, Cajun Blackened Fish Blend, Bengalese Fish Masala, and Turkish Spices For Fish.
I also ordered in some spice blends in individual tins which work well with seafood dishes : Mediterranean Herb Blend, Bengali Fish Masala (coriander,turmeric,brown mustard,cumin,fennel seed, chili pepper, nigella & fenugreek), and Spice Coast Garam Masala (black pepper, fennel seed,cassia, cardamom,star anise,nutmeg, mace & clove).
Some of you asked about the Black Marble Mortars & Pestles - I'll have them with me.
One of you asked if our spices, herbs & blends are gluten-free. The answer is yes.
I'm attaching a recipe for Greek Fish Soup which is easy & delicious. I made it on Monday night with some of that fabulous haddock from Off The Hook and right now, I'm going to heat up some of the leftovers for lunch.
All the best,
Costas
