 Not very good September 29, 2008
Mustafa Boudjerada (USA)
Overpriced and not the greatest flavor if you are expecting high quality raselhanout. Of course, I cook Algerian food so that could be why.
 Kinda Sweet - kinda cinnamony... August 10, 2008

I cook alot with some of the most bold masalas and spice-mixes of asia: Indian, Thai, Oriental, etc. Figured another 'taste' of spice-mixes would be a fun tool to add to the mix.
First dish was a B'stilla (recipe from epicurious.com) and that turned out decent, even with vegetarian chicken substitute. I wouldn't say this spice mix stands well on it's own; If I was showcasing the spice in a meal it would almost certainly have to play a secondary role with another palatable flavor, but it's a fun flavor to throw into the mix if you like creative cooking and composition. It would have fabulous potential if you were making a sophisticated dessert or an autumn-season themed dish.
I've knocked the socks off my in-laws (born in India) by adding the right spice mix as a foundation piece in the marinara or dough-mix of homemade pizza's and calzone. These are very western-dishes that have enough appeal to a foreign palette to be appetizing. Price with shipping is steep, but stomachable as a little goes a long way.
