 Laissez-Chef Spice Company

Creole Southern style has many roots of influence from the American Indians with their slow cooking and smoking methods to the use of corn and African influences. Recipes range from barbecue to southern pan fried chicken, slow cooked greens with cornbread and fried fish. This is true comfort food with big bold flavours and love.

Personally blended by Chef Myers, New Orleans Spice was launched at the Taste of Christmas Food festival at the ExCeL London December 2011 show.  The spice is packaged in a beautiful wooden treasure chest box.

Says Chef Myers:  “New Orleans cuisine is a tasty melting pot of Cajun, Creole, French, Spanish, German and Italian influences.  I created my spice blend to bring the spirit of New Orleans to the UK’s local foods.”

The spices can be used as a rub.  It has been milled to marinate quickly to penetrate meats, fish, seafood and veggies and create a caramelised seasoned crust.
