(More customer reviews)I love all the flavors of Zatarain's. I love to cook cajun style food and will make my own from scratch when I have the time. Reality means I usually focus on cooking the main course and will use boxed shortcuts for side dishes. Zatarain's really shine in this role. You give up surprisingly little for a ready mix product. The flavors are within shouting distance of the real deal. Compared to most foods made from a mix that require less than 2 minutes of your attention - it's practically a miracle.
The Jambalaya and the Black Beans & Rice are the best flavors. The Jambalya is hot and spicy - so kids don't like it. The black beans & rice is a little spicy too - but subtle. Mainly it's zesty and hearty and delicious. My children eat it. My little son just devours it - and has since he was a tot. My daughter less so. Actually I think I love this stuff more than my wife - so maybe there's a gender thing going on. It's a little greasy when made properly. I recommend using 2 1/2 cups of water, instead of the 2 3/4 it recommends on the box - for thicker, less soupy rice. The foil lined container is bug proof and keeps for a long time. Because it's a big flavor it sits best next to something assertive - like steak or blackened anything. It's a regular side for us on BBQ nights.
