A world of flavor for your kitchen
Hi and welcome to Taverna’s Spices! This website is devoted to bringing you the delicious spice mixtures I use in my own cooking, inspired from world cuisine. These seasonings are available for sale. In case you want some ideas on how to use them, I also present tasty recipes that showcase their flavor profiles.
A little about me
I’m Dar
in Taverna, creator of Taverna’s Spices. I’m a genome scientist by day and a food scientist by night. I love the flavors the world has to offer, and enjoy discovering how ingredients are transformed to taste the way they do. This interest in cooking compelled me try out for, and win, the honor of Phoenix Top Home Chef in 2014. It was a great experience in which I met many wonderful people. Some folks shared a passion for cooking, but all shared a passion for eating! All the items for sale on this site were made by me in Phoenix, Arizona.

So enjoyed seeing you and Patty again, and tasting your wonderful dinner at Tempe Hackett House yesterday Darin! Bought all of your spices, now can’t wait to see your recipes on this site to get some ideas on how best to use them!

Thanks Susan. It was great seeing you as well, and I am honored that you and your friends returned and had a fun time. I could hear your group laughing all the way from the kitchen! The Recipes page is in development, but in the meantime, I’ve tried listing some uses under the specific Spices pages. For immediate gratification, try the Low and Slow BBQ Rub on some popcorn. I also like a dash of the Taverna XXX on my over-easy eggs.
Cheers!
