Spice mixes et Currys

A true gustatory 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 enhance it. This was a long process that required many tests. Spices are not mixed randomly. A spice blend must be a subtle alliance between different aromas, making sure that each one asserts its presence without overpowering the others. The right amount of spice is essential to maintain an exceptional aromatic palette. Chilli is the perfect example. It is the one that takes precedence over the other spices and herbs. Therefore, it must be subtly added to bring a little pep to your recipe without becoming the star. This is even more the case when it is a very strong product such as cayenne pepper. The Espelette pepper, less strong on the Scoville scale (it is at level 4 against 8 for the Cayenne pepper), is slightly easier to dose. When you buy spice mixes in supermarkets, the quality of the spices is inferior and the dosages are sometimes questionable. Most of the time, some ingredients are simply not distinguishable. If you have ever bought four-spice, you have certainly noticed this. Ground spice, small pieces of aromatics, I offer you tasty mixes based on quality products that I have discovered around 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 into offering you mixtures of spices, herbs and aromatics capable of enhancing your daily recipes in the best possible way. Because eating should be a real pleasure, seasoning should be considered not as an extra, but as a fundamental element. To meet all requirements, because tastes and colors in cooking are not debatable, I propose a culinary journey around the world with different spice mixtures.

Spice mixes with Asian flavours

Asian food is known all over the world. Restaurants of this type are springing up all over France and food lovers are getting into Chinese and Indian preparations that will delight their taste buds. Here are some spice blends based on curry, a star product in Asia. With the Kerala Curry and the Indian Company Curry, 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, fenugreek, salt and pepper with a coconut milk chicken. Each ingredient brings that strength and sweetness to this curry. For the flavours of Asia, do not hesitate to also put ginger, it is an ingredient impossible to circumvent to bring this taste so particular between lemon, hot pepper and pepper.

Mediterranean spice blend

Let's go a little further south this time and cross the Mediterranean for flavours that are both Mediterranean and Oriental. We offer you a delicious Royal Ras-el-Hanout made of turmeric, coriander, caraway, cumin, fennel, salt, hot pepper and fenugreek. It will come to decorate your couscous and your tagine in the best way. A fragrant mixture that you must try.

Let's go back to France with the Provençal marinade. It is also one of my proudest creations. Rosemary, marjoram, thyme, chilli, garlic, mustard, tomato, your beef brochettes and other pork loin will never have the same flavour again.

Spice mix and island Currys

Let's go under the island sun to taste a West Indian spice mix. Onion, garlic, parsley, hot pepper, it's enough to create an incredible mix to spice up your fish and make a delicious dog sauce.

And what if you tried the Caribbean salt? Salt, paprika, cumin, fennel, these spices subtly combined will enhance your white meats and fish.

Spice mix for a trip to America

Are you a big fan of hamburgers and, as such, you like to prepare them yourself? Try our American burger mix. Marinate your beef in this mixture of paprika, thyme, oregano, cumin, pepper and hot pepper or create a sauce from these spices and you'll revolutionise your home-made burgers.

A trip to South America this time with the Ay Caramba Chile spice mix. Hot pepper, paprika, cloves, cumin, oregano, garlic, you don't need more to season your meat, fish and shellfish or to make incredibly delicious marinades. Discover a wide range of flavours with this blend.

Mix your own spices or order David Vanille's creations?

Black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, gingerbread spices, colombo, herbs, you can of course learn to mix all these flavours yourself. It's always very rewarding to make your own recipe and to experiment with it in order to achieve a great product. However, if you want to simplify your life and concentrate on preparing your best sweet or savoury recipes, order my spice mixes. As you will have noticed, the variety is important and will delight the taste buds of all for a gustatory journey through the whole world.
