From Our Recipe File to Yours

From appetizers to desserts—it is our pleasure to share these choice recipes with you. We hope that you will make them as they were developed and tested—with the spices, herbs and seasonings of Spice Islands. You will appreciate why from the moment you open a Spice Islands jar.

For you who love to improvise with flavors and vary your own favorite recipes, an herb chart is included in this booklet. It is limited by space, but we think you will find it a useful guide in seasoning with herbs.

Remember—the purpose of an herb, like that of a spice, is to enhance, not dominate, the flavor of the food. So be selective when you experiment. Until the art of seasoning with herbs is mastered, use just one or two at a time.

Be especially sparing with the spices and herbs of Spice Islands, for they are exceptionally full-flavored. Only the finest of each species is used, and they come to you from Spice Islands exquisitely cured and radiantly fresh and fragrant.

SPICE ISLANDS HERBS are California grown on farms owned and operated by Spice Islands Company. In this way, select strains can be cultivated with a quality control impossible to duplicate. The fullest flavor of these herbs is yours because of the extreme care in growing, curing, and processing.

SPICE ISLANDS SPICES come from those faraway parts of the world where the finest grow—cinnamon from Viet Nam, nutmeg from the Isles of Banda, ginger from Jamaica, and pepper (such pepper!) from Java. Whatever it is, the very best is in your Spice Islands jar.

SPICE ISLANDS WINE VINEGARS are produced from fine wines of California’s Sonoma Valley, and have an incomparable bouquet and mellow tang. There is red wine vinegar plain or flavored with garlic, tarragon, or eschalot; white wine vinegar plain, flavored with basil, or a sprig float of tarragon.

SPICE ISLANDS TEAS are gathered at the peak of the season from the best gardens in Japan, Formosa, Indonesia, Ceylon, and India. There are eleven delectable blends—any will add an epicurean touch.

If the good things of life are for you, then let Spice Islands work its wonders in your cooking and enjoyment of good food.

The Green Goddess dressing originated some thirty years ago.

Add lemon juice to cream, then mix with other ingredients. Serve with green salad. Superb on broccoli or asparagus in place of mayonnaise.

Tartar Sauce (8 Servings)

Familiar to everyone, but still one of the most generally popular of the fish sauces.

Mix all together and serve with fried or broiled fish.

Broiled steaks, lamb chops, even the breakfast eggs are all the better when cooked in herb butter.

Herb Dumplings

Flavorsome, featherlight dumplings for meat stews, or chicken fricassee.

Mix all together and drop by teaspoonfuls on top of boiling stew. Cover pan tightly, and steam slowly for 12 minutes. No peeking—it will make your dumplings soggy. Sufficient for 2 quarts of stew or 8 persons.

Fricassee of Veal Mei Yen (4 Servings)

Veal is usually very flat, pallid in flavor. This recipe will give it character and give you a completely new entree.
