Dish off the Block Launches Spice Line, Cookbook Collaboration
Food blogger Pamela Gelsomini announces the availability of three new spice blends--Italian seasoning, Cajun, and garden herb--and her contribution to a new video cookbook in collaboration with the Jacques Pépin Foundation.
WRENTHAM, Mass. and BLOCK ISLAND, R.I., Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pamela Gelsomini's Dish off the Block, a food blog dedicated to providing simple yet sophisticated recipes for the home cook, has launched a line of spices that complement and elevate all kinds of dishes including seafood, beef, pork, poultry, and vegetables.
The spices include:
Ciao Bella Italian Seasoning, a blend of basil, oregano, garlic, and onion with hints of thyme and rosemary, this mix is fabulous for Italian-inspired dishes from pasta sauces to soups and so much more.
Ragin' Cajun, a mix of 12 herbs and spices, including three different kinds of pepper, this mix is great as a rub, in chilis, tacos or fajitas, and adds a level of heat to anything you eat.
Superbly Herby, an eclectic combination of herbs that will tantalize the taste buds when added to any dish or marinade. Inspired by a dish Gelsomini had during her global travels, it is fantastic on seafood, chicken, in soups, and more.
In addition, this month, the Jacques Pépin Foundation (JPF) launched a video recipe series "Cooking with Jacques & Friends," that features over 40 top chefs from across the country, including some of the nations most renowned chefs: José Andrés, Padma Lakshmi, Rachael Ray, and more! Pam's recipe, Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs, is highlighted as part of this diverse group in an effort to raise awareness of Jacques' foundation.
For many chefs, Jacques is a mentor who is generous beyond compare. His foundation supports free culinary and life skills training to individuals in desperate need. The video series is available to all who join the JPF, with membership starting at $40/year. Find out more about the JPF and the new video recipe series: https://members.jp.foundation/
