Hello All-
Since it's posted on the Food Network web site I guess the proportions of
essence aren't secret:
Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Same as in his cookbooks.
But- I was putting together spices for my troops trek this evening and found
2.8 oz pre made Essence bottles at 2 for $5.
I can't make it from scratch for that!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, as a former employee of the most well know North American film
manufacturer, I don't put food in film canisters. There are very bad
volatile chemicals in photographic film that contaminate the canisters.
It isn't worth the risk when you can buy a fresh poly container that was
meant for food for 40 cents.
Good luck.

Great! For those interested - here is the direct quote from Backpacker
Magazine - with due credit for the reference:
Backpacker Magazine, July 2002 issue, Page 39
Item: Tastier camp cuisine with Emeril Lagasse
Heading:
"5 Spices Emeril never leaves home without: salt, pepper, Essence, and
parsley. What is Essence? A mixture of salt, paprika, granulated garlic,
black pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.
A few pinches of each ingredient in a film canister yields about a week's
worth of Essence"
The above represents the direct quote from the magazine, as with most chefs,
Emeril does not give the exact proportions. However, I'd take the article
literally - a pinch of each ingredient...... As I said, I'm headed for
Philmont in two weeks. I'm mixing a batch of the stuff. With a sprinkling of
Essence, and a loud "Bam!", we should be able to kick it up a notch.
YIS,
Frank Fernandez
