Urban Accents Partners with Padma Lakshmi for Easy Exotic Cooking
Chicago, IL – 11.5.2009 – Urban Accents, the leading spice blend company in the specialty food business, partners with Emmy-nominated Top Chef host, Padma Lakshmi, to create the innovative and delicious Easy Exotic Culinary Collection. Debuting on the Home Shopping Network on November 5, this assortment includes 14 all-natural spice blends, sea salts and grilling rubs and glazes. Celebrated for its own line of seasoning blends, Urban Accents paired with Lakshmi to develop a collection of products that delivers authentic regional flavors to the dining room table with less work and less hassle in the kitchen.
This assortment includes spice pairings from across the world for convenient international cooking, including a ginger infused Asian Five Spice Sea Salt, a Peri-Peri Afro-Caribbean Spice Blend and a brown sugar-maple Appalachian Maple-Thyme Glaze.
“Spices are the foundation of my kitchen,” Lakshmi says. “From my favorite Indian recipes to experimenting with dishes from the many places I’ve traveled, I turn to each area’s native herbs and spices for authentic flavor.”
Lakshmi’s resume as a leading member of the food industry includes hosting her own Food Network show, Padma’s Passport, and penning two cookbooks that include recipes from around the world that originated in her own kitchen. As the host of the documentary series Planet Food, broadcast on the Food Network and Discovery Channel, Lakshmi showcased her understanding of global cuisine, travelling across the world in search of new flavors. Partnering with Urban Accents for the Easy Exotic Culinary Collection, Lakshmi will simplify making ethnic cuisine for millions of viewers.
“We’re thrilled to work with Padma to introduce these innovative flavor pairings to at-home cooks,” Urban Accents President, Tom Knibbs, says. “With her expertise in the kitchen and our commitment to providing premium spice blends, the Easy Exotic Culinary Collection is the perfect introduction to global taste.”
