Join Chef Lior Lev Sercarz for a journey through the world of fragrant and precious spice ingredients on Thursday, April 21, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the Museum of Food and Drink in Brooklyn. He’ll offer insights into spices’ rich cultural significance and history, how they’re grown and produced, and their culinary and medicinal applications. You’ll also learn how to purchase and store fine spices, as well as how best to use them in your own kitchen.

Afterward, you’ll work with Sercarz and his team to make your own customized spice blend to take home.

Since the beginning of his career, Sercarz has worked closely with chefs from around the world, developing custom blends for them and for other customers with all levels of cooking experience. In 2012, he produced a cookbook, The Art of Blending, that features 41 blends along with recipes and cooking tips provided by renowned chefs and culinary minds including Gail Simmons, Daniel Boulud, Eric Ripert and Apollonia Poilâne.
