The Spice Winners, Crowned

August 29, 2012

Two weeks ago, we asked you to put on your chef’s hats and tell us how you would expertly use Lior’s grilling spice blends. Or, rather, we told you there were spices to be won, special blends picked by Lior just for you -- and you ran with that all on your own. 

Reading through the responses made us want to come to all of your houses for dinner, and choosing just three winners wasn’t easy.

But alas, we’ve narrowed things down, because, well, spices are a serious business, after all. Winners received marks for creativity and thoroughness -- and even though we wish we could’ve opened up Lior’s whole catalog -- for providing entries centered around just his three grilling spices: Ararat N.35, Moruno N.21, and Izak N.37. 

And now (drumroll, please), the winners are: 

aargersi, fiveandspice, and drbabs!

Congratulations to all of you for inspired uses of spice -- and until next time -- happy cooking!

I have a thing for most foods topped with a fried egg, a strange disdain for overly soupy tomato sauce, and I can never make it home without ripping off the end of a newly-bought baguette. I like spoons very much.
