Behind the Seasonings: Chef’s Blend

Every chef has their signature flavor profile — a flavor that you instantly know is theirs. This blend was born in my kitchen after years of mixing, tasting, and tweaking until I found my signature. A perfect balance of garlic, onion, paprika, and herbs that could pull a dish together without overpowering it.

The Inspiration

Chef’s Blend came from my love of layering flavors. I wanted something simple enough for everyday meals but powerful enough to elevate any dish. I thought: What if one blend could do it all? Be used on everything. Whether I’m cooking for a client, meal prepping, or just throwing dinner together for my family. Chef’s Blend has become that seasoning that never leaves my counter or chef’s bag. Its that go-to seasoning.

What’s Inside

Chef’s Blend is a mix of my favorite staples:

  • Garlic powder and onion powder for that savory, aromatic base

  • Paprika for a warm depth of color and flavor

  • Salt and herbs to round it all out

The result? A blend that’s versatile, balanced, and flavorful — perfect for seasoning meats, vegetables, or sauces.

How I Use It

I use Chef’s Blend on everything — seriously. Some of my favorites:

  • Sprinkle it on poultry or fish before baking

  • Toss it with vegetables before roasting them

  • Add a dash into pasta sauces or soups for that extra depth

  • Mix with olive oil as a quick marinade or dressing

However you use it, it brings your dish to life without needing a dozen other spices.

Pro Tip: Mix a little Chef’s Blend with melted butter, honey, and brush it over rolls or bread once they’re done baking. You’ll thank me later.

Why It Matters

To me, Chef’s Blend represents more than flavor — it’s about confidence in the kitchen. I wanted people to have a seasoning that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook.

It’s the same blend I use in my monthly supper club Chef’s Table, in my Meal prep service, Private Events, and in my own home. Every jar comes from the same love/level of flavor and quality, no matter the occasion. Because behind every great dish is the perfect seasoning. Chef’s Blend comes straight from my heart (and my spice rack).
