    “From Emeril’s New New Orleans Cooking. This is a fairly basic seasoniong mix. If you want hotter, decrease the paprika and increase the cayenne. I wouldn’t mess with the black pepper amount, however, since that will change the texture and color of the mix.”

  • “This is an excellent seasoning mix.I halved the recipe to fit in my spice jar.I thought it had a fabulously delicious flavor and wasn’t too salty.Just what I was looking for!”

  • “This was a good seasoning…probably not worth the millions of dollars he is getting for it, however.My DH and I love our food spicy, so I took your advice and substituted 2 tsp. cayenne for some of the paprika.I used this to make seasoned flour for some sauteed tilapia.Turned out fine. “

  • “I used this in Recipe #366057 and it worked out really well.I did leave out the salt because I prefer to add salt as I am cooking.Thank you so much for posting.”

  • “Excellant!! I made it for the photo forum Ragein cajun/creole event, it was perfect for the cod we had for supper tonight – recipe #232752,lovely flavouring for cod!thanks for posting, I will make it again, when this runs out, it made lots!!”

  • “Wow, for my first creole experience this was just amazing!I made just as it was written and ended up with 3/4 cup of seasoning.I recycle empty spice jars so I put this into an empty jar.I was making Recipe #372965 for *ZWT5 2009* and did not have any of this seasoning.So I picked this one to make and I was so very glad that I did.I’m playing for team *Genies of Gourmet* on the tour this year.Miss Annie, thank you for posting!”

  • “Easy and wonderful! I didn’t have onion powder so I ground dried onion flakes with my mortor and pestle. Used it in Recipe #98137 Perfect!”

  • “Used this in Recipe #210285 ‘s and it was very good.So simple to make and I always have those ingredients on hand.I also used this on some tilapia and it was yummy.”

  • “This is our house seasonings blend for just about everything we cook. We use half the amount of salt, though. That’s the only change we make when putting it together. I usually triple or quadruple the recipe and keep it in a Ball jar next to Emeril’s Southwestern blend. Wonderful and better than anything on the shelves in your grocery store! Miss Annie, thanks for posting!”

  • “Well, I quite frankly think your recipe is 1st. rate! I made it up, added a 1/2 tspn. cayenne, and rubbed it all over Speedy’s Garlic Stuffed Pork Loin! YUM! Amazing how much better homemade tastes!Thank you for sharing this one, Mizz Annie … Think it could be used on any kind of meat, and come out great! I’m fixin’ to find out, anyway!Good stuff! Laudee”
