Karine Eludut is a recipe developer and food photographer based in Houston, Texas.
As French-born, food has always been an essential part of her life. French cuisine is her culinary background and the beginning of her journey in the kitchen. Several moves in different countries and extensive travels in the Middle East and Asia during the last two decades have broadened her cooking experiences with new techniques, flavors, and ingredients.
Transmitting her passion for cooking came during her years in Saudi Arabia, where she developed a business of catering and cooking lessons. Back in the US and becoming a health coach, she is prioritizing healthy and seasonal recipes but not only. A balanced diet is the key.
Then came food photography: first, as a hobby to showcase her dishes and inspire people to cook at home, then as one of her services surrounding food.
Karine masterfully presents her mouthwatering recipes with an elegant touch. Her nuanced use of color and texture strikes a balance between boldness and delicacy. Regardless of the recipe's origin, Karine infuses each dish with the artistry and finesse of French cuisine. Et voilà!
Pain d'Épices flavor holds cherished childhood memories for me. It has a special place in my heart and kitchen. The combination of seven aromatic spices and sweet flavors evokes coziness and nostalgia, making it a delightful treat. The rich, warm flavors of Pain d'Épices uniquely transport us back to comforting moments.
The balance between each spice creates a unique flavor.
I created this unique blend with the rustic French spice cake of the same name in mind, but you can use it in other sweet recipes for fall and winter. You can sprinkle it on an apple stew or use it in a more elaborate recipe, bringing an extraordinary aroma to your kitchen.
This blend is perfect for fall and winter baked desserts or beverage treats. A dash of Pain d'Épices blend on baked sweet potatoes or pumpkin smash adds all the aromas.
It's citrusy, woody, tangy, and a bit pungent.
It's the perfect blend for:
• baked desserts
• fall fruits stews
• beverage treats
