Middle Eastern Mezze
Hellooo new SKORDO set - this Middle Eastern compilation may be just the thing to expand your palette!
A brush of Syrian Za’atar on the flatbread, a Baharat marinade on the vegetables, a Dukkah crust on the Halloumi, and an Advieh seasoned broth for the rice. These flavors, combined with the various textures, creates a meal that is begging to be shared with your loved ones. Thankful to have my SKORDO blends to help me travel to different cultures, while still staying pandemic safe in my home kitchen!
Topics: Peppercorns
In the shops, we’re often asked to describe the different qualities and flavors of peppercorns. It’s a fair question. Pink peppercorns love delicate proteins like chicken or fish. Szechuan are great with green beans and Tellicherry are our go to for everyday seasoning. But what makes a peppercorn a peppercorn and how are they all related?
Cookbook Review: Ottolenghi Simple
We were craving something light, fresh and different to make and ended up diving back into Ottolenghi Simple - It is all we have been cooking from for the past three weeks and is perfect for spring!

A Conversation with S+P Plant Based Foods
Shelby is the friend who shows up to a dinner party and unloads a tote bag full of mysterious ball jars. A massive wooden cutting board appears from nowhere and the jars contents - creamy cheeses, blended veggies dips and a literal rainbow of snacks - are artfully placed on top. Turns out, the creamy 'cheese' is actually a cashew dip and suddenly you realize you've been conned into enjoying (and actually loving) a vegan 'charcuterie' board.

Perfect Pairings
The celebrity of chefs was near peak pre-pandemic and now when we’re all cooking at home and lusting after restaurant quality meals, the celebration of foodies is at an all-time high. How often do we catch ourselves listening to/watching/reaching about our favorite chefs? With front of house closed, professional kitchens are more open to us than ever before and I for one couldn’t be more excited.
Sugar Giant x SKORDO
With SKORDO I'm often creating dishes at home and sharing a recipe virtually. Sugar Giant allows me to share baked goods directly to the community. I really appreciate having SKORDO introduce me to blogging and providing me a space to gain my confidence in myself and the way I speak of my product, whether it be a blend or a pastry. I wholeheartedly believe in both businesses, the people behind them and feel so fortunate to be able to mesh the two. I love the way they naturally align together, both catering to the cravings of the community.
Introducing: Posy Sea Salt + Posy Sugar
Product development is one of our favorite things. Our floral infused sugar and salt were dreamed up nearly a year ago. It’s taken us time to find the right ingredients, strike a balance with the bold flavors and test variants in our kitchens. We couldn’t be prouder of the end results.
My Afternoon at The Lost Kitchen
We received an e-mail a few months back from none other than Erin French. You probably already know this, but she’s the chef behind The Lost Kitchen. We’re huge fans of her cookbook, and we’re delighted SKORDO spices will be a part of The Lost Kitchen’s winter market.
