Spiceology , the fastest growing spice company in America, today announced its partnership and new product line with Kwame Onwuachi, James Beard award-winning chef and acclaimed author. This launch follows the release of Chef Kwame's newest book,“My America: Recipes From a Young Black Chef .” The two new spice blends capture key flavors represented throughout the cookbook and are inspired by the ingredients Onwuachi grew up with and still cooks with to this day.
“I don't remember a time where there wasn't 'house spice' around,” said Chef Kwame Onwuachi, describing his mother's secret spice blend that seasoned all of the food he grew up eating.“Trying to remember the moment when I was first introduced to house spice is like asking me the first time you had salt - it was just always there. I'm grateful Spiceology was able to help me bring these spice blends to life so that everyone can experience the flavors that sparked my passion for food.”
The new blends created by Spiceology and Chef Kwame bring a modern twist to some of Onwuachi's earliest memories:
- Kwame's Mom's House Spice ($14.95): This all-purpose blend embodies the flavors of Kwame's mother's secret recipe. The pairing possibilities are endless with flavor profiles of garlic, onion, black pepper, cayenne, and worcestershire. Intended to be eaten on and in“anything in your house,” Kwame's Mom's House Spice pairs with steak, chicken, Cajun food, curries, veggies, and more.
- Toasted Curry Powder ($14.95): This balance of spices that Onwuachi says“tastes like a symphony” is a combination of Jamaican and Trinadadian curry powders with notes of fenugreek, mustard seed, allspice, turmeric, and coriander. This blend goes beyond traditional curry dishes and can be used on popcorn, pickled veggies, rice dishes, potato salad, and jollof rice.

The blends are available for purchase on Spiceology.com and are available in 9 oz jars. Chef Kwame's book can be found wherever books are sold.
