Hungarian Gulyás Meat Soup

SpiceBreeze
Dig in a bread bowl filled with this hearty soup and savor the taste of freshly ground Hungarian paprika. Gulyás or Goulash is Hungary's national dish. It was invented by Hungarian cattlemen and became their favorite dish. Originally, it was a soup, not a stew. We kept this intention along with the typical ingredients.

Notice the distinct fruity flavor when they melt on your tongue. Pink peppercorns are best when not cooked or added at the end of cooking.

Indonesian Nasi Goreng

SpiceBreeze
Indonesian nasi goreng is second on the list of the world’s most delicious meals (voted by CNN readers). Because its original purpose was to use up leftovers, it’s best prepared with rice from the day before and you can be creative with your choice of vegetables. Optionally, add meat or shrimp. We recommend giving tempeh a try. For any combination, the earthy aromatic taste of galangal makes this dish outstanding.

white poppy seeds

Whispers of Sweetness

Exploring White Poppy Seeds as a Culinary Thickener

White poppy seeds, derived from the opium poppy plant Papaver somniferum, are tiny, kidney-shaped seeds with a mild, nutty flavor. 

Unlike their darker counterparts, white poppy seeds lack the characteristic bitterness, making them a popular choice for culinary use in various cuisines worldwide. These seeds are often used as a thickening agent, flavoring agent, or garnish in dishes ranging from baked goods to savory dishes. 

Additionally, they are prized for their nutritional benefits, containing essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, along with healthy fats and dietary fiber. Whether incorporated into desserts, bread, or savory dishes, white poppy seeds add both texture and subtle flavor, enhancing the culinary experience.

Goan Vindaloo

SpiceBreeze
Vindaloo is a worldwide popular dish from Goa, India. Its origin is the Portuguese dish "carne de vinho e alhos" (meat cooked in wine vinegar and garlic). The sour-spicy dish came to Goa with Portuguese explorers in the 15th century and was adapted to the local taste and ingredients.
We recommend to try it with pork or lamb, though it takes a bit longer to cook. Vindaloo is usually very hot. Our spice blend has only a little kick, not hot at all. You can adjust the heat level to taste with fresh chilies.
Customer Review: "I ventured to make the Vindaloo Indian dish. Wow, it was really tasty. I chose to use chicken for my meat and just pretty much followed the directions and kicked the heat up to my liking with some Jalapeno peppers. I was surprised that the chicken breast chunks were still tender, I was afraid they might be rubbery but they weren't. Very savory taste. Yum!"
