What Others Say
Not very good
Overpriced and not the greatest flavor if you are expecting high quality raselhanout. Of course, I cook Algerian food so that could be why.
Kinda Sweet - kinda cinnamony...
I cook alot with some of the most bold masalas and spice-mixes of asia: Indian, Thai, Oriental, etc. Figured another 'taste' of spice-mixes would be a fun tool to add to the mix.
First dish was a B'stilla (recipe from epicurious.com) and that turned out decent, even with vegetarian chicken substitute. I wouldn't say this spice mix stands well on it's own; If I was showcasing the spice in a meal it would almost certainly have to play a secondary role with another palatable flavor, but it's a fun flavor to throw into the mix if you like creative cooking and composition. It would have fabulous potential if you were making a sophisticated dessert or an autumn-season themed dish.
