I use beef consumme in by stroganoff too, also you can get a roux mix by tony chacheres, it is found in the spice section at your local grocery store. Or you can order it here

I have a shaker of Tony's Creole seasoning. Can't remember where I got it, but use it all the time.

Never seen the Mushroom,Roux,Gravy or Seafood seasoning?? I'm gonna need to find that stuff somewhere. I added Tony to Favorites for future orders if I can't find locally.

I go to Food Network Web Site all the time for recipes I've seen on TV and just gotta make! You can find Tons of home made seasoning mixes/rubs by doing a search on Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasi(sp) recipes to name a couple. Mix your own "Esence" at home in old Mc cormick plastic or glass spice shaker. Cost you a fraction of what the big name brands cost.

Kewl!! We saw a ton of different creole spices while we were down there, one called slap yo momma, and a few hot sauces that i cant repeat, but they did have emerils stuff there too. The prices were outrageuos though, fer somethin you can buy at your local grocery store. They had crab boil called swamp fire, and all kind of weird stuff!!

I've made Emeril's Bam. (original Essence) from the ingrediants on his site, and also had a bottle given to me, that was bought at a store. The homemade tastes much better.
