Cooking with Epicure

My Inspiration

I have a passion for cooking. For years, I’ve experimented with new recipes, but over the last 6 months, I have found cooking without a recipe that much more enjoyable! Kind of like the Food Network: Michael Smith Chef at Home. In fact, he is the inspiration behind my new cooking method. After years of working with complex recipes, and ever since I gave birth to my first little baby, I needed to find ways of going back to basics: simplifying my meal planning down to a minimum, and adding textures which flavours food to them instead…

Spicing it Up

This is why I am fanatic about Epicure Spices. I purchased a variety of spice blends awhile back, and now they have become the forefront of my meals. If I’m making a stew out of chicken, I may decide to throw in a chilli powder mix, and I’ll toss in a little cajun spice as well. Or if I am in the mood for an Asian influenced stir-fry, I simply add their five-spice powder, and a little bit of ginger seasoning. The key to my dinner success is balancing sweet, salt, bitter and tangy/sour flavours when determining what my next meal will be. Try it out, and see what you think!
