Poudre Forte (pronounced Poo-dra Fort) translates as "Strong Powder".  During the Middle ages, Spices were sold thru Merchants within a town market or Apothecary.. Many of them had specific recipes (very much like our own grocery store premixed blends) that brought many customers from across varied locations just for their recipes!  This one is was translated from a very special recipe book called "Livre Forte", written around 1555! 
During that time, getting spices was for the rich and elite. Think of it, a lemon or orange cost as much as a plane ticket, and 12 whole cloves were as much as a good piece of gold jewelry!  Yikes!
Spices were imported and very much in demand!
​This blend was called "the strong powder" because of it's use of pepper, both regular black and long pepper. Pungent Galangal and spicy ginger added a bite while Cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg added the mellowness that brought the whole complex flavors together nicely. 
​It was used in Fruited meat dishes, in dishes with carrots or onions. It was a meat rub as well as a stew starter. It was great with squash and many plain or mild flavored vegetables. 
​I like sprinkling a little in with my chili just to mellow out the heat a touch, or on my butternut squash baked. Lovely flavor.

We place each Spice Blend of Auntie Arwen's spices in categories to help you locate the right blend for the right recipe, but we recommend you try them your way!  Just because it's in one category, does not mean that it can't go into some other recipe as your secret ingredient!  We get ideas from repeat customers at every event.

We suggest experimentation, diversity and always take recommendations! 

Share your recipes with us and we'll share them with everyone else!

Auntie Arwen's Kitchen is open to all!

But remember, everyone has different taste buds...


(Nuts:  Almost every ingredient comes to us with the common warning on the packaging; Although we don't to anything with nuts, Some of our 'ingredients may be processed on machinery that also processes nuts' from our suppliers, Please take that into consideration. We reserve the right to exempt to place certain expense prohibitive items into the 4pk personalized sampler packs.)  
We prefer to use the US  Postal Service for our products.  If you use a "Coupon Code" and you or someone you choose will not be picking up your purchase at the event you will be offered the choice of a refund or to pay shipping charges prior to your order being shipped.  Advertised coupon codes are specifically designed (and advertised) to allow our patrons to place an order & avoid the shipping charges by choosing to pickup at the event code location since you can not pick up at an Auntie Arwen's Store location (since none exist today)
