Za’atar has become one of

"Za’atar has become one of my favorite and most used spices since starting to cook with Suzy. I use it in salad dressings, on eggs, to season veggies and of course in Suzy’s recipes. Love it!"

Anne J. (5/5)

I love this new spice

"I love this new spice that I recently added to my kitchen collection. I’ve used it 2 different ways since purchasing it. I tossed tomatoes, chunky red onion wedges, and zucchini pieces in olive oil then added Za’atar, salt and pepper. I roasted them on a sheet pan at high heat until “caramel-y” perfection! Those delicious veggies were then added to cooked Farro to create a great side! The Za’atar added another depth of flavor that I enjoyed! This spice mix was also added to EVOO with a grind of pink Himalayan sea salt to create a fabulous dipping side for crunchy bread. Great reviews were received from guests. I will certainly purchase it again!"
