Cloves

Cloves

The compelling flavor of cloves is hot and tingly, and leaves a lingering aftertaste. Native to the spice islands, demand for these buds helped fuel the Age of Discovery and they remain just as popular today.Cloves should always be used with a very light hand, whether alone or in combination. The intense flavors can easily overpower a dish, but are lost quickly when cloves are ground.Keep only a small quantity on hand and grind as needed.

Coney Island Hot Dog Blend

Coney Island Hot Dog Blend

I come from a hot-dog family. Coney Island hot dogs, to be precise. Not that we wolfed them down en masse at Fourth of July parties, birthdays, or picnics on the beaches of Massachusetts. I mean, my family owned several Coney Island hot dog shops. As a kid, I remember stopping by after school with my mom and getting two with the works: slowly cooked hot dogs in slightly sweet steamed buns, topped with Coney Island chili meat sauce, diced onions, and a squiggle of mustard. It was the sauce that made the dogs. It was so good, sometimes I'd get a cup of it and pass on the rest.  But in time, my supply of C.I.H.D. stopped. My uncles sold their shops…and their recipes. Forty years later, I found myself still jonesing for their hot dogs with sauce, so I tried to recreate it. Legions of fans of the shops claimed to have the "original recipe," but none came close to what I remember. Working from a barebones list of ingredients, Jamie Aragonez, of World Spice, and I went back and forth countless times to come up with what I think is a dead ringer for the sauce. It's gently spiced and super meaty with a balance of heat, sweet, and punch. After four long decades, I took my first bite of a dog with the works and was hurtled back to childhood.  But we found it doesn't stop there. The sauce is excellent stirred into creamy mac and cheese, poured over nachos, spooned over cheeseburgers, and served with all types of eggs. We're still discovering ways of using it. And we'd love to know what you come up with, too!  Here's a gift from my family to yours. Chow, David Leite   Each pouch makes 3 pounds of meat sauce, yielding approximately 9-10 cups. If you use 3 tablespoons of sauce per hot dog, one pouch is enough for 48 hot dogs.

Cumin Seed

Cumin Seed

The humble cumin seed sprouts off the end of a weedy grass and is nearly as universal a seasoning as black pepper. Pungent and earthy, the savory base of cumin is surrounded by the lightest hints of citrus and pine giving it a well-rounded and pleasing flavor. This seed spice has been cultivated since ancient times and it is best kept whole to preserve its flavor and then ground before use. Intricate flavors develop nicely as cumin is cooked.

Curry Leaves

Curry Leaves

Curry leaves come from an Indian tree and are traditionally used fresh but are hard to find here in the US. The dried leaves are much milder and have a unique flavor that hints at nut butter and hay. The flavor of the dried leaves is incredibly subtle and enticing at the same time. Our first use of them was an infusion in ghee and the flavor had great appeal. Use dried curry leaves to accent mild sauces and dishes where they can truly be appreciated and always be on the lookout for fresh ones in Asian markets. Curry leaves are a singular flavor not to be missed. Each bag contains 1/2 ounce of Curry Leaves
