I think everyone has done a rendition of the "KFC 11 secret herbs and spices" but I don’t want to toot my own horn – but –I think the TFC spice will be making dinner tables come alive. With as my husband calls it, “One more spice than the Colonel” you are sure to have grins all round the table.
Perfect on your “roast chook,” on some legs in the oven, on some thighs for a salad or even with some shredded chicken mixed with some mayonnaise on a wrap. You will have no need to head down to the local – you’ll have everyone lining up at your house.

I will be trying this recipe, however, if I'm not going to use it straight away, will it keep with the lemon juice added ?

Hi Margaret, I store all the dry spices together in a jar and when I am ready to use them I then add the lemon juice :)

Hi BK, Of course :) If you use your Varoma it will be perfect :) Enjoy
Use a coffee grinder to grind coarse ingredients such as peppercorns and leafy, dried herbs like basil, rosemary and bay leaves into a fine powder. This way, all ingredients will mix easily, and bigger ingredients won't sink to the bottom. 5. Test your blend in small batches using simple foods.
If you're still getting familiar with combining spices, I recommend trying out 2 different ratios as a starting point. A 1:1:1 ratio of top/middle/base spices will be nicely balanced and versatile for most applications while a 3:2:1 or 1:2:3 ratio allows you to pronounce top or base notes for a specific dish.
Add most spices at the beginning of cooking so that they have a longer time to release their flavors.
Always remember to reduce the salt quantity in your food while cooking with spices like curry and cinnamon so that it doesn't end up tasting too salty.
What is Mixed Spice? Unlike allspice, mixed spice is a blend of several spices. These include cinnamon, coriander, caraway, nutmeg, ground ginger and cloves. The majority of the mix should be made from the cinnamon and coriander, and the remaining 10% made from the other spices.
Often mistaken for a blend of spices, allspice is a single-ingredient seasoning with loads of unique flavor. Its name is derived from the flavor profile — a mixture of nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon and clove. Not all spices, but many of the most impactful.
1764 is a truly magical display of how a blend of spices can come together to create a symphony of flavors. Sumac, licorice, and cubeb mimic the notes and flavors found in the Ruinart Rosé with astonishing accuracy. Enjoy a glass paired with a meal made with the blend and you'll be blown away.
You can save money by mixing your own DIY spice mixes from bulk spices. For commercial kitchens that use large quantities of spice blends, blending your own seasonings from whole or ground spices is an economical option.
In summary, spices are individual ingredients used to add flavor and aroma to dishes, while seasonings are blends of herbs, spices, and other flavorings used to enhance the taste of food.
Spice blends retain most of their flavor for 2 years. Dried leafy herbs retain most of their flavor for 1-3 years. Seeds retain most of their flavor for 4 years. Fresh spices retain most of their flavor for 1 week.
Salt has a greater impact on flavor than any other ingredient. Learn to use it well, and food will taste good. Salt's relationship to flavor is multidimensional: It has its own particular taste, and it both balances and enhances the flavor of other ingredients.
Premade spice mixes and rubs are convenient, but are also usually loaded with extra salt, sugar, and other chemical compounds. Making your own is good for your health and your wallet. You may be surprised at how easy it can be to make your own spice blends and how awesome they taste!
If you need a substitute for mixed spice in a recipe and don't want to make your own you can just use Pumpkin Pie Spice instead. Both are made up of similar spices. Make mixed spice in small batches so it stays fresher longer.
