11 December 2011   Victoria Taylor turned to her passion over ten years ago and founded Victoria’s Gourmet after a career in the corporate world.  She spent almost a year testing products and recipes in her own kitchen and adjusting the flavors to perfection.  Victoria has a penchant for creating marvelous recipes that are manageable with our busy schedules.  Use her spices, seasonings and recipes and turn your kitchen into a little gourmet paradise!  Our Specialty Food Collection boasts many of her spices and seasonings both singly in small and large containers and trio packs which provide for a variety of tastes.  A favorite of mine is the meat and fish trio which provides a Ginger Citrus seasoning great for chicken, fish and pasta.  Its ingredients include onion, garlic, orange peel, bell pepper, and paprika to name a few.  I use it as a rub on chicken and then bake-quick, easy, and oh, so tasty!  The Seafood seasoning, great for salmon or halibut, provides you with just the right blend of Victoria’s proprietary herbs and spices with garlic, onion, lemon peel and bell pepper included for extra good tastes.  The third part of the trio is Toasted Sesame Ginger, fabulous in stir fry and also good on tuna or salmon.  It boasts a terrific sesame flavor coupled with the ginger.  The European trio will take you to Italy and France in a flash!  The Mediterranean seasoning is has a traditional base of oregano and garlic.  Use it on focaccia bread and in potato dishes.  The Tuscan seasoning combines rosemary with toasted sesame, bell pepper, and garlic– perfect for pasta dishes and also great on pork, chicken, and veal.  Its aromas of cool rosemary and nutty toasted sesame add punch to pasta dishes.  And finally Herbes de Provence is a combination of 7 dried herbs with lemon, lavender and a hit of garlic.  Close your eyes and you’ll be transported to the lavender fields of Provence!  All natural, all with very low salt or no salt, all goodness.
