"I'm going to give you a thread on your Aussie steak rub with pictures on our site.. I love it!  In fact, I had it last night on some steaks. I like it better than Montréal steak seasoning, which is normally all I use on beef. "

"...At the base, the dry marinades usually marry three basic elements: paprika, sugar and a powdered pepper. With these three elements, there are a pallet of tastes, and a whole field of tests by varying the proportions and  nature of each one: the peppers, with choices amounting in the hundreds; choosing the best paprikas and sugars to work with, and more. Once this exploration is sufficiently advanced, you are only limited by your imagination so you will find yourself adding other flavors to your marinade: pieces of lemon peel or orange, herbs de Provence, spices like cumin, or anything which titillates your palate. 

Obviously, you can do all that at home. But, if you are less adventurous, you can trust the Johnson's..."

"Two transplanted Texans have parlayed their love of food - and how to flavour it - into a thriving business in Ottawa and beyond.  Joe and Amy Johnson first came to Ottawa about eight years ago, when they moved to the capital for Joe's job in the high tech sector.  But their passion for food eventually took over and what started as a small side business is now keeping them busy fulltime..."

"Your dry rub was awesome!  I am glad I spent my evening looking for the right product and didn't settle for the stuff found in the grocery store. I am definitely going to be a long term consumer going forward."

"I used your Sweet Maple Dry Rub today on 10 (yes 10) racks of ribs today. We had a bunch of company over. The rub is awesome! I am for sure absolutely 100% going to be using it in when I compete in St. Catherine's this month. It was terrific!"

and a follow up report after her competition:

"With Caroline's Rub I was able to have a very successful finish of 6th out of 25 teams in the Amateur competition in St. Catharine's for the 2006 season. The rub was a key ingredient to my success as a first time entrant. It was sweet with a great hint of heat and matched perfectly with the ribs and sauce. Caroline's Rubs are consistently terrific. They are good value for the money and will be a sure hit with your family and friends. I plan on using their rubs in all future competitions due to the high quality and great taste.  I recommend them highly."

"My family likes it when I barbecue, but they went absolutely nuts over the ribs I made using your Sweet Maple Dry Rub!  It was 'awesome' according to my ultra-picky 7 year old, and it is now her favorite seasoning on just about everything!"
 
T. Warren Portland, OR.
"I don't take the time very often to write a manufacturer to tell them how much I enjoyed their product, but after using your Sweet Maple Rub, I had to say something!  What a delicious blend, not too sweet, nor too spicy.  This rub was just right!"

"I received my order today, one bag each of your Sweet Maple Rub and Pork and Poultry Blend.  One problem though...the mail was an hour too late, and the ribs were already rubbed and on the smoker!  But I did make my world famous beans to go with the ribs and this time I added one big ol' heaping tablespoon of your Sweet Maple Rub, and I must say these beans were the best my family & I have ever had!  We can't wait to try these rubs on some meat so...

This morning, I Smoked up a sausage "Fattie" rubbed with your Pork and Poultry Blend and served it with scrambled eggs dusted with the Sweet Maple Rub...MMMM!  Now this was good. Thought I'd send pictures...Interesting use for your rubs don't ya think - simple and good!"

"I tried your Pork Tenderloins in a Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce recipe last night using your Pork and Poultry Blend, and it is amazing!!! You should set up that BBQ sauce, and sell that, too!!!"
 
G. Angus "A great sample of your Pork and Poultry Blend was received together with the recipe for your crabmeat soup, it was WONDERFUL!!!"

"Last Saturday evening, I had a birthday celebration where each of my three sisters from Toronto and my brother came for dinner. I had received a sample pack of Caroline's Amazing Pork and Poultry Blend in a grab bag from the Women's Day Conference and decided to try it on our barbequed pork. I followed the instructions on the pack and let the treated meat sit overnight.

Well, the meat was so scrumptious that my guests kept telling me throughout the evening how wonderful it was! I wish I could've taken the credit. It was so easy to do ! It was spiced just right.

I had two previous packages that I was saving for another occasion but ended up giving them away that night and plan to pick up more to send to Toronto with a note so that they can access your website for reordering.

Thank you Caroline's Rub! Because of your dry rub my dinner party was a great success!"

"I just finished eating the best steak dinner I have ever made, and the only thing different from what I normally do was add your Aussie Steak Seasoning.  That stuff is incredible!"

"Our son insists on having your spices, and only your spices, with just about everything he eats.  When it comes to your Aussie Steak Dry Rub, he keeps a shaker full by his place setting for his own exclusive use!  You have definitely won a place in our kitchen!"

"Your Aussie Steak Rub was fantastic for Beer Can chicken, and I would be happy to relay that on your website, if you wish!"
 
P. Montero Phoenix, AZ. "My homemade Chili con Queso was good, but I always felt it was missing something.  But, not since I started making it using your Texas Chili Seasoning - it is the perfect chili powder for all of my Mexican cooking!!"

"You've spoiled us!  My husband and I had pretty well given up on trying to find an authentic Tex-Mex meal since we moved North, but that's not a problem anymore now that we've found your Texas Chili Mix!"
 

P. McAllister

"I wanted to write because I made your recipe for Texas Chili, using your Texas Chili Seasoning for a church function we had, and it was a complete hit.  The other ladies in my group raved about it and I even had a number of people ask for the recipe – that means a lot coming from a bunch of church ladies whose own dishes are always the best!  The flavors and aromas were incredible.  Best thing was, it was spiced perfectly - not too hot, nor too mild."
 
M. Seaworth Denver, CO.
"From the second I opened the bag of smoked salt and was hit with that awesome smell of hickory smoke, I knew this product was going to be great!"
 
B. Roach Vancouver, WA. "Your hickory smoked sea salt is a great seasoning!  I love it!  I would never have thought that salt could be so delicious!"
 
P. Nason

"Your hickory smoked salt gave my salsa a whole new dimension of flavor, and is now the secret ingredient in my perfect salsa recipe!"
 
J. Collier

"I recently saw an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown and he mentioned smoked salts, something I had never heard of.  I visited your site and decided to give them a try.  I bought your hickory smoked sea salt, and it is now a regular on our kitchen table.  I love the smoked flavor..."
 
T. Bailey

"My wife and I are most pleased with our initial order ... hickory salt and lemon pepper ... from your company. We thoroughly enjoy the two products and recognize them as quite unique for our BBQ purposes. We also appreciate your fine packaging which is attractive, compact, and very easy to open, use, and seal from external interference..."
 
R. Marshall Spring, TX.
"Being someone who can't add salt to his diet, I really appreciate that you don't add any salt to your Lemon Pepper Blend or Texas Chili Seasoning...you really know how to let the natural flavors of the ingredients shine through on their own."
 
M. Bert
Edmonton, AB
"I am so glad your Lemon Pepper Blend is back!  I love it.  Most of the blends out there are "polluted" with all sorts of other ingredients.  If I wanted garlic - lemon - pepper - ginger - onion - salt seasoning, that is what I would buy!  Yours is pure and simple, with loads of lemon and pepper flavor - thank you for giving me what I want!"
