I agree with Bill, this is a great starter recipe with endless possibilities. I doubled the Parmesan cheese and added probably 2 pinches of cumin. Wonderful Bergy. My family eats popcorn at least 2 times/week. I will try the curry idea next. Thanks so much. -
All I can say is WOW!! Bergy, made two batches - regular recipe and one using your sugestion of curry powder - amazing!! DH and I love popcorn, so this was a very big hit in our home!! I added a bit more parmesan cheese - love it! I think next time I may try a batch with garlic powder - give it yet another flavour! Yummy! A definite keeper!! -
This is a great " Starter recipe ", using Parmesan Cheese as a base, that allows creative cooks to experiment a little each time until it is just right for them. -
tweaked it a little for personal preference used no cumin and added rosemary- fantastic- thanks for posting! -
I made this for our game day party. DH really liked the flavor on it. It had that lingering heat. So good. Thank you for sharing.

Very tasty. The cayenne gives it a nice kick, and I've always been a fan of parmesan & popcorn. This is just a bit too much butter for me, so I'll tone that down next time. I added garlic powder instead of thyme. :)

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
