I love the montly delivery of spices from Piquant Post. Each month I find new recipes and new spices that fill my kitchen with wonderful scents. I love to be adventurous in the kitchen and my family enjoys seeing the new dishes.
One of our new favorites is Chermoula Salmon, it was so good! This recipe teaches the technique of pan-basting for faster cooking and achieving a crispy layer on juicy fish. Serve over a bed of lightly dressed mixed greens or grains with plenty of lemon on the side for an easy but delightful meal.
A bit about Piquant Post:
Tired of cooking the same boring meals?
No time to search for tasty, healthy recipes?
Each month their chefs send you inspiration from around the globe. They deliver a variety of recipes using mouthwatering flavors from around the world and a cooking lesson to expand your knowledge.
Why Use Their Spices?
No fillers, preservatives, or sugar. They ditch the bad stuff and almost never include salt, so you can take control of your food and eat healthier.
No more buying expensive spices that you never use again. Their box contains enough herbs and spices to make each recipe so you don’t have to run around searching for exotic spices.
I hate when I have to search for a spice for a recipe and have a jar sitting in my cabinet that sometimes goes bad before I can use it all. The spices from Piquant Post are more than enough for the recipe and extra. I have found that I can make a couple dishes with each packet.
Give as a gift!
I've given memberships as gifts to my kids and friends and they love it. It also gives us something to talk about and compare recipes. This month Piquant Post is offering us special reader discount.
