Life often gets busy for walking that extra culinary mile. What if there were someone who would freshly make the seasonings, rubs and spice blends you want, when you want them and just how much you want. A "spice-maker" who works like a restaurant?
The United States is the largest importer of spices in the world. But what our spice manufacturers and grocery stores have to offer is a sad story. Probably, every kid knows that spices start losing flavors once the spices are ground. Yet, most manufacturers grind the spices months before we use them. Even most gourmet stores make their products much ahead of time, or get them manufactured by co-packers. Some claim their spice blends are made "at source" - or in simpler other words, made in a foreign country, shipped across oceans for days, then repackaged and sold. Why must we use stale seasonings and spice blends for our fresh food?
To make the things worse, most store-bought seasonings and spice blends are laced with synthetic additives to make the products look pretty, to extend their shelf life. So, because in the first place someone can't supply fresh seasonings and spice blends, they add chemicals to make them last longer ! Spices are naturally beautiful, and remain so if blended fresh, stored properly and used quickly.
Easier said than done is the advice most chefs give: toast, grind, mix and blend spices at home. Works for a professional chef, but that can become a daunting task to perform regularly at home. Life often gets busy for walking that extra culinary mile. Also, getting all those whole spice ingredients in small quantities to make one kind of seasoning or rub can very quickly get expensive. And, that is assuming you got a reliable recipe and the correct proportions and the perfect process ! Mostly those one off spice-making efforts end up in buying several whole spices and herbs in quantities never needed and eventually in wasting precious spices.
