Great spice mix for lamb!
Should be in more stores, Superstore, Sobeys are missing a bet here.

Maple Mustard Hamonizer spice blend
I wasn't sure what to do with this...
I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.

Sesame Secret Spice Blend
This spice blend is excellent!
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!
Best Taco Blend!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Ghost Taco spice blend
Hard to pick just one
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
