More often than not a person comes up with an Elixir, Potion, Ancient Chinese Secret or the proverbial "this recipe has been in my family for generations and was handed down from my grandmother".  But that is not the case.  I have been a Chef for over 30 years and have been cooking in restaurants and catering for over 25 years.  Often I found myself with a large assortment of spices, but lacked just the right one.  This is what prompted me to seek a Special Blend which could be used at home or in restaurants, by everyone.  How often have you wanted to make a dish you had at a restaurant, at a friend's house, you saw on TV, your grandmother use to make, and didn't know how they got that special taste?  Even if you had the spice, you were unsure of how much to use.  So you guess, and the food comes out either bland or over-seasoned.   Well, by Jove, I think I've got it!! With America's increasingly health-conscious attitude, particularly regarding sodium instake, ISHMAEL'S SPECIAL BLENDS, contained less than 2% sodium, are not only good for you, they are good to you.  My spices can make anyone a Gourmet.  Ishmael's Special Blends take the guesswork out of cooking, while bringing out the true essence of whatever is being prepared.  The taste is flavorful and unique, because you're using my Special Blend of herbs and spices and less than 2% sodium. I started my company in 1990.  My Blends are the culmination of years of effort to achieve the right combination of herbs and spices, resulting in a formula that will make everyone a culinary master - whether preparing for one or 101!  My distribution area is nationwide - why not add your household to the list of my satisfied customers.
