What is Imperial Seasoning?

Cooking has been a very near and dear pastime in my family for generations.  My father grew up on a farm in Switzerland and later went to culinary school.  He immigrated to the United States eventually settling in Louisiana and opening his own restaurant.  In the mid-1980s he decided to open a seasoning company and developed a variety of spice blends as well as packaged mixes.  I trained under him both as a cook in commercial kitchens and as a spice blender.

Growing up in a restaurant family often saw us all working at some position in the restaurant, and life could be tumultuous.  We did not always get along, but we regularly sat down together to share a meal.  Family does not mean bloodlines.  Whether your family is related or formed through shared experience, sitting down to a meal together creates and strengthens bonds.  That meal might be a simple weekend gathering, a meal for a celebration, or even a meal during times of mourning.  Some of the best memories I have are sharing great food with the people in my life who mean the most.

Life is not about the food you eat. It is about the people you share it with.

My father’s ambition was to provide exceptional food and experiences to his guests. Today I bring my experience to the table with the ambition to carry on my father’s legacy.  May these seasonings flavor the foods that bring people together.
