4 Spice Blends by Michael W. Twitty
“It is my pleasure to introduce Black joy in a bottle, a spice collection based on the journeys of my Ancestors, from Africa to America, The Cooking Gene Spice collection. Each spice mixture represents a different stage in the historical journey of African American foodways and honors the lives of Black men and women who signify the flavors of each point in time. All of the people honored here passed on outside of the status of being in bondage. ” – Michael W. Twitty, author of The Cooking Gene

A perfect rotation of kitchen staples that should be in everyone's pantry.
I love the different spice combinations and will have a great time incorporating them into my cooking. My only suggestion is in the labeling. The modern type faces and colors are difficult for my Senior eyes to read. I solved the problem with a Sharpie marker, but it's not as pretty.
The flavors are great. The kitchen pepper in particular is going to be a staple in my cooking, but the whole set is delicious.
These are by far my favorite spices to use. They’re so flavorful & a little goes a long way. Definitely going to be a regular customer.
What initially drew me to this collection was of course the kitchen pepper, which Michael talks about in the Cooking Gene and also describes in his appearance on the JAS Townsend and Sons cooking show. Every spice in this collection is unique and delicious. The BBQ spice was responsible for some of the most delicious grilled chicken I have had in long time, it has has a little kick and sour notes from the vinegar. The chicken spice was great on both cod and chicken and is perfectly balanced. I used the African spice in on a cauliflower steak recipe and it was fabulous. I love that Michael describes these spices as black joy in a bottle and I feel tremendous gratitude for being able to taste it and experience some of that joy. If you love history and want to change up your chicken or fish game get this now.
