SUMMERTIME... AND THE COOKIN' IS EASY

Holiday entertaining, party dips, barbecues - all those activities associated with summer - are made effortless by using small amounts of Charmaine Solomon's marinades and spice blends.

They are concentrates so a little goes a long way. The rest of the jar is stored in the refrigerator for the next time it is needed.

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE?

No problem. Warm 'em up with a hearty curry or, for tender tongues, the tantalizingly fragrant (but not hot) Moroccan spice blend for tagines and stews.

Use a clean, dry spoon each time and the rest of the jar will keep indefinitely. Mix with sour cream for a quick and easy, deliciously different dip. Serve with corn chips, crackers, potato crisps, Melba toast, lavosh or bite-size raw vegetables.

YEAR ROUND...

make easy work of delicious dishes faithfully capturing the flavour of exotic cuisines. It's a breeze with Charmaine and Reuben's spice blends, curry pastes and marinades. Use them as the primary colours and mix your own flavour palette.
