The Food Section of today's Boston Globe features a story on
a Dirigo Spice Company:
When you think about spices, a torrent of images and tastes
comes to mind: a bustling market in Morocco, single strands
pricey saffron, the searing taste of a hot chili pepper. When
professional chefs think about spices, they often think of
Dirigo Spice.
This family-run enterprise in Dorchester imports, mills, and
blends spices. But there are mysteries behind the scenes. While
spice production is a key operation, a central element for the
past 30 years is a laboratory where Dirigo works with chefs and
entrepreneurs around the country to develop special blends. The
success of many restaurants or product lines may well depend on
particular recipes created by Dirigo Spice.
The full story, along with some creative spice recipes, is currenly
available online at:

The recipes included are:
1. Carot Red-Lentil Soup with Asian Spices
2. Shrimp in Red Pepper Sauce
3. Broiled Chicken Kebabs with Spicy Cashew Sauce
4. Spice-Crusted Pork Tenderloina with Banana-Date Chutney
