(More customer reviews)If you watch Emeril Lagasse's Food Channel show, you know that he routinely uses what he calls "Essence." This is what Emeril, on the bottle, calls "a blend of spices and herbs to complement meat or fowl, fish, veggies and pasta. I use it on everything but ice cream."
The bottle itself does not list all the ingredients. However, if you check out "Emeril's Delmonico," you get the full recipe. The nice thing here is that it is very easy to make; most amateur cooks have most or all of the ingredients right at hand (for instance, I do have them all, so I could make my own and save some money over Emeril's bottled version!).
When he says "kick it up" or "bam," Essence can help out. The cayenne pepper component will kick things up. However, the combination of ingredients balance one another nicely, and this ends up being a useful product in the kitchen (at least for me). I don't overdo amounts, but used moderately, this adds a nice taste to food.
Anyhow, this is a nice addition to my kitchen.

The secret to good cooking is in the seasoning. My Original Essence is perfectly balance, a blend of spices and herbs to complement meat or fowl, fish, veggies and pasta. I use it on everything but ice cream! Put some in a bowl and keep it handy on your counter. Sprinkle generously before cooking. Add oil and use as a marinade. Emeril Serving Suggestions Emeril's Marinade: Combine equal parts olive or vegetable oil and Original Essence. Mix thoroughly. Terrific on chicken, seafood, beef and pork. Big Easy Meat Rub: Mix 1 part brown sugar to 3 parts Original Essence for a Kicked-Up rub for beef, chicken or pork
