Story Behind Our Mansaf Spice

I come from a big family, where hosting dinners wasn’t just a tradition—it was a way of life. At every gathering, one dish always stole the show: Mansaf—a fragrant, spiced Lebanese rice dish that truly was the king of the table. 

Over the years, I experimented with spice combinations, cooking Mansaf time and time again until I finally found the perfect balance. It became my signature dish—family and friends would always say, “No one makes Mansaf like Soussan.” But there was a challenge...

Traditional Mansaf often calls for 7 to 12 different spices —many of them costly and used only for that one dish. For most people, buying so many spices for a dish they’d only make once a month just wasn’t practical.  

That’s when the idea was born: to create one perfectly blended, balanced, and pre-measured spice mix that replaces all the others. No more guessing, no waste, and no extra costs—just the same authentic flavour, ready to use in seconds.  

My Foodies Journal Mansaf Spice brings this dish back to life in a way that’s easy, affordable, and full of tradition—so you can recreate the flavours of a true family feast, anytime.

Description

Our signature Roast Mix is a bold and tangy spice blend, carefully crafted to suit a variety of dishes—whether you’re roasting, grilling, pan-frying, or barbecuing. Made with finely ground spices, this blend won’t burn under high heat and transforms into a rich, smooth marinade when mixed with oil, helping it absorb quickly and deeply into meat, fish, or poultry.  

The fine texture also makes it perfect for mixing into crumbs or flour, giving extra flavour to coatings and breadings.  

Whether you’re cooking a midweek meal or prepping for a family barbecue, this versatile blend brings full-bodied flavour every time.

Story Behind Our Roast Mix

Every cook has that one blend they reach for again and again—this is mine.  

Over the years, I found myself constantly mixing spices to create the exact flavour I wanted for my roasts, grilled chicken, or even a quick pan-fried fish. After a lot of experimenting (and plenty of family taste tests), I finally created the perfect balance of flavour—bold, tangy, and rich, without being overpowering.  

But it wasn’t just about taste. I paid close attention to the texture too. I made sure the spices were finely ground so they wouldn’t burn when roasting, barbecuing, or frying—because nothing ruins a good meal like burnt seasoning. I also noticed that when mixed with a little oil, the blend turns into a smooth, rich marinade that penetrates deeply into meat, fish, or poultry in minimal time.  

And the best part? The fine texture makes it perfect for adding to breadcrumbs or flour, giving you a flavour-packed coating for anything from cutlets to crispy oven veggies.

This blend is more than just a spice mix—it’s the result of time, love, and a lot of home-cooked meals. Now it’s ready for your kitchen too.

You don’t need to be a chef to use this. I followed a simple recipe and the Mansaf spice took it to another level.. So satisfying.

"Absolutely nailed the roast!"

Used the Roast Mix on chicken and veggies — turned out golden, crispy, and packed with flavour. Better than store-bought marinades by miles.

I visited Jordan last year and this spice brought all the memories flooding back. Absolutely authentic Mansaf flavour — creamy, earthy, and rich.

The Mansaf Spice is a game-changer. I made lamb mansaf and my family thought it was takeaway! Aromatic and perfectly balanced.
