Get Into the Grind

Cooks in North Africa and India count their ability to blend spices as an essential culinary skill, as well as a signature to their dishes. Create your own signature with these four impeccable spice blends, chosen by Le Sanctuaire from See Smell Taste, a company devoted to the study and perfection of spice harvesting. The aromatic-and-curry-spice Vadouvan Golden Mix imbues something as simple as a shrimp and orange sauté with a surprising complexity of flavor. The fiery Harissa blend can elevate a vegetable couscous (or a grilled fish). Some say that the more than 20 spices in North African Ras el Hanout create an aphrodisiac, not to mention that it also enlivens lamb or a Moroccan chickpea side dish. Shichimi Togarashi translates as "seven flavors chili," which, along with lemon, orange peel, myrtle, and other spices gives a spicy glazed Japanese eggplant a warm, nutty touch.
