New Regime Spice Blend - Chef Daniel Orr


Chef's Notes:
This blend was inspired by garam masala, a warming spice common in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. I also included some spices that my friends from North Africa use in their couscous and other dishes. This is my 24/7 spice and can be used all day long. Try it in your hot cereal with raisins and milk for breakfast and
on your strawberries flambé at dinner. It accents both the sweet and savory in all it touches. It tastes great on meat, fish, vegetables—everything. You’ll make all your cooking more interesting with a touch of New Regime.
