Slow Cooker Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup - Woks of Life
We have been selling out of the Woks of Life cookbook almost every week since we got it in! Such a great recommendation from stores team member Robin, who further introduced us to their Woks of Life Blog online!
As we cook through January, we are highlighting all of the whole spices collecting in our cabinets. This Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup uses a satchel of nine favorites and was a perfect dinner during Portland’s first snowy week, just days before the start of Lunar New Year.
Potatoes au Gratin - French Onion Soup Style
This year we've combined two favorites- French Onion Soup meets Potatoes au Gratin. French Onion soup is such a labor of love that is so great at warming you up from the inside out. The creamy caramelized onions with the gooey funky cheese is an unmatched combination! But when it comes to hosting a crowd, it can be tricky to collect enough oven safe crocks to get everyones french onion under the broiler and ready to serve.
Ginger Spiced Yule Log
Norway is actually the birthplace of the Yule Log, designed as a way to celebrate the solstice. This technique for sponge cakes is so much less intimidating than it looks and can be filled with so many different flavors!
Wine Pairing Goat Cheese Sampler with Gluten-Free Crackers
What better way to welcome your guests than a casual wine pairing? We served these fool-proof crackers alongside goat cheese balls that we crusted with our new Wine Pairing Sea Salts as an easy appetizer to get the party started.This cracker recipe is made with oats instead of flour, even our gluten-free friends can join in on the fun!
Spanakopita Triangles | Feta, Spinach, and Tzatziki Spice Blend
A delicious bite of flaky phyllo filled with creamy, garlicky spinach and feta deliciousness. Including SKORDO Tzatziki Spice Blend elevates the flavor with premium garlic, dill, onion, and lemon zest. We love serving these for holiday parties - there are never any left!
Rosemary Juniper Shortbread Cookies
This new New England Desserts cookbook has led us to some of the coziest bakes this season - all full of local flavors! Juniper is a delightful piney + peppery addition to these rosemary herbed cookies. Since this dough requires some chilling time, you can absolutely start making them now and leave the parchment log in the freezer until you start hosting this holiday season - making for an easy slice + bake later on.
Spice-Infused Couscous with Baharat Candied Pistachios, Fall Vegetables and Sumac Dressing
A stunning dish with flavors as captivating as the colors of the season. Here we perfumed the couscous with warm, whole spices, roasted the vegetables to heighten their natural sweetness, and balanced those flavors with bright sumac and lemon dressing and sweet-warm-salty Baharat spiced pistachios. We tossed it all together with arugula create a beautifully bright salad, perfect for crispy fall weather.
Pinot Grigio Pairing Salt Blend Roasted Chicken
Is there anything more delicious than a roasted chicken? Season with Pinot Grigio Pairing Salt for an extremely satisfying dish. This is Barton's favorite way to roast a chicken.

We love this restaurant quality recipe, made using only 2 ingredients: salmon and Pinot Noir Pairing Salt Blend. With floral, herbaceous notes, and warm spices, the complex flavors fair beautifully with salmon and Pinot Noir.
