Blends Collaborations New!

This trio of blends, made in collaboration with cookbook author, lifestyle expert and fashion designer Peter Som, pay homage to Peter's culinary upbringing in a Chinese-American home. 

Peter says, “I’m super excited to partner with Burlap and Barrel for this collaboration. They’ve simply been a game-changer in the kitchen and have taken my cooking and baking to the next level. Each of these spice blends was inspired by the flavors I grew up with and still use to this day. Each blend is all about the balance of sweet and savory and the hits of flavor that ping pong around your mouth. The warming notes of Chinese five spice was the starting point, but from there I took things in a few different—and very delicious—directions.”

The 3-spice set contains:

  • Bird's the Word Five Spice Chicken Salt
    “I gave Mom’s five spice a spirited pinch of black lime for a zesty kick that’s truly the spice of life. Take a shortcut to big flavor by using BIRD'S THE WORD like Mom does as a poultry rub for amazing roast chicken, or sprinkle generously on roasted veggies, seared steaks and bloody Marys to make them sing with umami. ”
