Tom loves experimenting with grilling, smoking and sous-viding, and he loves to share his knowledge of the best spices for any meat and every possible cooking technique. Tom has developed many of our newest rubs, sausage seasonings and do-it-yourself kits. He has developed handouts to help cooks take on more complicated meat preparation, so you can take his guidance home.
Vicki oversees the retail showroom and the online marketplace. Her cooking knowledge complements Tom’s perfectly, as her focus is on vegetarian cooking. Vicki’s popular “Tip & Idea” cards are handouts that cooks can take home. They are packed with novel ideas for adding flavor with seasoning blends.
Food scientist Vince has been with the business since it was owned by Stuart. Whenever a new seasoning blend is proposed, Vince’s expertise in how spices react and their chemistry in cooking provides the foundation for the development process. Customers rely on Vince when they have a technical question about how spices will perform or if they are curious about the botanical relationships of herbs and spices.
How we get from a 110-pound bag of whole peppercorns to your favorite rub -- that’s where Mark comes in! Pallets full of premium quality herbs and spices arrive at Stuart’s, and it’s up to Mark to grind and mix these to create our signature blends and customers’ proprietary blends. It’s an exacting process - not only must recipes have the correct measure of ingredients, but each has a different grain size and consistency that must be precisely guaranteed.
Jack is the go-to person for Stuart's Spices packaging department. He keeps track of what's needed in store and at the public market, and schedules accordingly. From Stuart's small retail pouches, up to 25 pound boxes, accuracy is his forte. Whatever needs packaged, Jack is up to the task!
Most of you are probably already familiar with Cecie as she works the front! In that time she has come to love many of our amazing spices and blends. If you follow us on social media, she also posts many updates and pictures of food that either her or someone else at Stuart's whipped up. A foodie at heart, Cecie loves hearing about dishes made by our customers! Say hi next time you stop in!
Stuarts Spices has become not just a shopping destination, but a place known for classes and private events with a spice theme. Vicki directs private “theme” events that feature cooking with spices for holidays or special occasions. Vicki presents classes on spice history, cultivation, harvesting and distribution. For meat preparation classes, Tom takes over the instruction. Another fun event is the “make-your-own spice crafts.”
Everyone at Stuart’s can be found helping out in the retail shop!
