This week I’m going to have a few different spice blends for you, as the pictures are starting to collect on my phone and not only are they taking up storage, but I want you to have them! And there’s no better way to start it off than with Emeril’s Essence.
Emeril’s Essence is so fitting to kick off what I’m dubbing “Spice Week” because he is really the first celebrity chef that I started watching and that really inspired me to get into the kitchen and start cooking. I’ve tried many different Emeril recipes over the years, and even have several of his cookbooks (which, by the way are also totally inspiring with beautiful pics of his food and stories woven throughout about his different restaurants).
But those who watched Emeril Live know all about Emeril’s Essence, as we waited for him to throw some onto whatever he was cooking and yell “BAM!” So do yourself a favour. Mix together a big batch of this Essence and start kicking things up a notch in your own kitchen!
