Humble pie has its place but goodness knows it's not in the kitchen. Looking for some spice, girls? Boys, can't find the joys of cooking? Instant Gourmet invites you to clear the counter and wax spectacular with their everyday everyway line-up of sensational spice blends, guaranteed to bring new life to your shelf life.

Created a short 38 years ago, Instant Gourmet spices are the inspired advent of accomplished chef and spice savant Phil LaMarche. This product line grew out of the frustration of having an overcrowded counter full of herbs, seasonings, and savories, until one day the light bulb went on and Phil married the many into one. The results are uncontested - 6 delectable blends built to accentuate flavor and punctuate your entrees, one dash at a time.

Every good venture begins with something bold, something original. The zesty zing of The Original Instant Gourmet Spice will easily become your Holy Grail of all-purpose seasoning. The unique blend of herbs and spices provides the exclamation your meals have been missing, and its versatility will amaze you. From seafood to satays to soups to marinades, The Original lends a flavorful blend you'll crave after one distinguishing sprinkle. Your chicken won't know what hit it.

Grande Southwest is kind of like discovering your first burrito. Guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, they're all nice independently, but combined, they're sensational. This is what Grande Southwest does to anything it touches. I kid you not, this blend transforms tasteless to true texmex. Award winning and a BBQ's best friend, get creative with Grande Southwest and really make your popcorn pop, your enchiladas rock, and your fish tacos fly. Open flame's the name of the game, shake, rock, and roll.

And when you're ready to go Mediterranean, Rustic Italiano provides the perfect punctuation for your Sicilian feast. This chunky combination of oregano, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, mild onion, with gentle hints of garlic and parsley, enhances flavors as if sun drenched under the Tuscan sun. Drizzled over pasta or sprinkled atop soup, this versatile blend has a distinct and hearty tang. Without overwhelming, it manages to manufacture flavor resonating that of an authentic Italian kitchen. From spaghetti and meatballs to pumpkin gnocchi, a shake of Rustic Italiano and expect a line for seconds.

Awake-a-Steak; stand back for this one. This western steak rub livens steak, chicken, or whatever the cowboy in you is craving. Made with fresh-roasted coffee, this adventurous blend is not for the timid, and an absolute for those who can appreciate cuisine with a western wow.

Finally, a take your taste buds on a trip to the tropics; a shake of Caribbean Isles adds Jamaican style to whatever you're fixing to serve. This smoky blend adds more flavor than heat, and functions beautifully as a rub or marinade for backyard grilling. Perfect for salmon, trout, and any garden-variety kabobbing.

Just in time for the holidays, beginning with the grandest feast of all, Instant Gourmet blends will season your greetings with savory eatings. Shake a little Butter Blast, Instant Gourmet's answer to butter sans fat, on potatoes, broccoli, anything bettered by a buttery garlic glaze. Add The Original to your turkey this year, and see it gobbled like never before. Give thanks for creativity, and mix and match these spices by adding a douse of the Caribbean or a hint of little Italy wherever you're so inclined. Our feast-loving forefathers would herald such ingenuity.

My husband, whose cooking never lacked for flavor, is having a field day with our Instant Gourmet line-up. They inspire creativity in the kitchen with the ease of a shake here and a dash there. The true beauty of these blends is that they're built to enhance, not overwhelm. LaMarche has applied his seasoned expertise in defining that palatable balance of full-bodied flavor while maintaining the integrity of your entrée. And he's succeeded. These spice blends instantly enable you to retire your archaic aisles of half-used bottles cluttering your cabinet, and amplify your cooking to the power of six. With the right thyme and inclination, a gourmet spread is just a shake away.
