Spice Blends and Curries

A real taste journey with David Vanille's spice blends and Currys

I have imagined for you spice blends for authentic and traditional recipes or more original creations. My objective was to respect the flavour of each spice and to associate it with the spices that could sublimate it. It was a long term work that required many tests. You don't mix spices at random. A blend of spices must be a subtle alliance between different aromas, ensuring that each asserts its presence without overpowering the others. The right proportioning of the mixture is essential to preserve an exceptional range of aromas. Chilli is the perfect example. It is the one that takes precedence over other spices and herbs. Therefore, it must be subtly added to add a little pep to your recipe without becoming the star. This is even more the case when it is a very strong product like cayenne pepper. Espelette chilli pepper, less strong on the Scoville scale (it is at level 4 against 8 for cayenne pepper), is slightly easier to dose. When you buy spice blends in supermarkets, the quality of the spices is inferior and the dosages are sometimes doubtful. Most of the time, some ingredients are simply not distinguishable. If you have ever bought four spices, you have certainly noticed this. Ground spices, herbs in small pieces, I offer you tasty blends based on quality products that I have discovered throughout the world and that have seduced my taste buds. Passionate about vanilla and spices from all over the world, I need to have a crush to offer you a product. And I naturally put all my passion to offer you mixtures of spices, herbs and herbs able to come to decorate in the best way your daily recipes. Because eating must be a real pleasure, seasoning must be considered, not as a plus, but as a fundamental element. In order to meet all requirements, because tastes and colours in cooking are not debatable, I propose a culinary journey around the world with different spice blends.

Spice mixes with Asian flavours

Asian food is recognized worldwide. Restaurants of this type are springing up all over France and food lovers are launching into Chinese and Indian preparations that delight the taste buds. I thus propose you some spice mixes based on curry, a star product in Asia. With the Curry of Kerala and the Curry of the Compagnie des Indes, sublimate your preparations. Contrary to some beliefs, curry is not a spice, but a real blend of spices. Enjoy a subtle combination of coriander, turmeric, fennel, mustard, chilli, salt and pepper with a chicken from coconut milk. Each ingredient brings this strength and sweetness to this curry. For the flavours of Asia, do not hesitate to also, to put some ginger, it is an essential ingredient to bring this taste so particular between lemon, chilli pepper and pepper.

Mediterranean spice blend

Let's go a little further south this time and cross the Mediterranean for both Mediterranean and oriental flavours. We offer you a delicious Royal Ras-el-Hanout with turmeric, coriander, caraway, cumin, fennel, salt and spices. It will enhance your couscous and tagine in the best way. A fragrant blend that you must taste.

Let's come back to France with the Provencal marinade. It is also one of the creations I am proud of. Rosemary, marjoram, thyme, pepper, garlic, mustard, tomato, your beef skewers and pork chops will never have the same flavour again.
