"The fragrance of this is heavenly. It 's a Middle Eastern mix. It 's very flexible some put paprika and cumin some keep it simple just peppercorns, cinnamon & nutmeg.

This is an awesome recipe! I first used this mix in a basic sugar cookie recipe, and it really zinged up the recipe. I then used it brownies and found the best brownies it goes in was with melted chocolate. I still have plenty of this, and found that after using a pinch in one cup of coffee, I wouldn't need a second cu of coffee.

Oh wow, this is heavenly indeed! What a wonderful combination of aromas! This pairs wonderfully with melted chocolate to make cake batters even yummier and Im sure this would also be great in cookies as other reviewers suggested. Cant wait to experiment more with it!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this gem of a recipe with us, Rita!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #61 August 2013.

This was great! My portions were a little off, but it was delicious nonetheless.

Aromatic and wonderful. I couldnt get cardamom seeds so I had to use ground cardamom :( but still smells divine. Thanks for another FAB recipe!
