A Visit to Gygi in Salt Lake City
Last weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Gygi, a wholesale and kitchen supply store in Salt Lake City, to teach a private spices training for staff and a second class for attendees of the Gygi Grilling Gala.
The trip and both classes were a blast. The attendees were really knowledgeable with tremendous food backgrounds. We discussed the major spice categories as featured on The SPICES Poster and smelled and tasted dozens of spices, herbs, seeds, citrus peels, capsicums, peppercorns, onion and garlic, and a variety of exotic spice blends.
Gygi carries a variety of spices supplied by Italco including a number of spice blends that I created specifically for the barbecue season. The blends will be available throughout the summer with a cookbook for them soon to follow.
To get a feel for what the Gygi Grilling Gala is all about, check out this video by Gygi.
