 A welcome addition to my kitchenMar 15, 2008
By Steven A. Peterson
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.

 Creative SeasoningApr 12, 2007
By Rebecca Johnson
"The Rebecca Review"
Emeril's Original Essence is a combination of salt, paprika, pepper, granulated garlic, spices and onion powder. This mixture is perfect for chicken, fish, meats and even veggies. You can use it to enhance the flavor of anything savory and as Emeril says: "I use it on everything but ice cream."
I can truly see why he does because this is especially convenient for anyone who loves using garlic and paprika. It also saves you lots of time not having to reach for the salt and pepper. You can skip lots of steps like crushing garlic cloves, although you may want to add even more garlic flavor with fresh garlic.
Lately I've been using this essence along with parsley flakes, basil and a mixture from Dean & Deluca called: Herbes de Provence. I sprinkle this over steaks when I fry them in olive oil and then finish the dish with a tablespoon of butter and a ΒΌ cup Cabernet Sauvignon to make a delicious sauce. Adding in a little fresh or dried basil is optional, but delicious.
Emeril's Original Essence frees up some of your time in the kitchen, which allows for more creativity and uniqueness in your cooking. Sprinkle a little of this essence on all your savory dishes and see what happens. The new depth of flavors will amaze you and tantalize your taste buds!

The Perfect All Purpose Spice for Rotisserie ChickenOct 07, 2011
By JUST ME
We have a Showtime rotisserie that gets a LOT of use, we get the huge (8-9 lb) oven stuffer roasters always ninety nine cents a pound at the local store, put it on the unit, and coat heavily with Emerils Essence, great smells, great taste. And the large package size means we save a lot of money on the smaller size. Probably go thru one of these every six months or so, hard to find anymore at Costco or the other warehouse stores.
Very good but no secret weaponAug 04, 2011
By Brent Butler
After having this recommended by a friend of mine who is an excellent cook, I tried it quickly thereafter. She was not wrong, it is a good one shot spice mix to enhance almost any food you care to use it on. What did surprise me it that it really is a bit on the mild side. The first time I used it, I thought I shook out an adequate sprinkling on the food and could hardly taste it in the finished dish.
The next time I used it was on chicken as I was about to stir fry it. This time I made sure to pretty well cover the chicken up with it as the wok was starting to heat it. That did the trick. The chicken was still not overly spicy tasting, but the flavor had been pleasantly enhanced. I've never watched Emeril's show, so I guess I had no frame of reference on how much to use. LOL
Make sure to check the prices on the web against those in your local market. Often Amazon is less expensive, but not always.
