A New Adventure

Welcome to the Black Apron. 

We’re a shop located in Abbeville South Carolina, which carries Spices, Herbs, Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, and more…

We are not a restaurant, but we are dedicated to helping you find the best spices for your food and staying healthy through home-cooked meals and tasty ingredients. 

Delicious doesn’t have to be difficult. 

Our spices are high quality and tested thoroughly. They don’t contain fillers or drying agents, what you get is the spice and only the spice. 

My goal for this blog is to post three times a week. 

Tuesdays will showcase our ‘Spice of the Week’. We’ll go over the health and taste benefits of the spice or herb of our choosing and during the week that particular spice will be 10% off in our store. 

Thursdays will be our ‘Recipe of the Week’. This recipe will contain our ‘Spice of the Week’ and be a simple and tasty addition for your family. 

Saturdays will be a mix of a couple of different things. I’ve noticed among our wonderful customers we have several people who love to cook and know a ton about spices, herbs, cooking, etc already. We also have some brave adventurers who are looking to learn without killing their budget or setting their kitchen on fire. I am thrilled to have both parties coming to see us. 

This means that Saturdays will be a mix of very basic cooking techniques and how to handle vegetables/meats etc in an easy to follow format. For my advanced cooks I hope you’ll still pop in to read as you might learn a little something or be able to add a handy comment for those who are learning. 

We’ll also have some other topics covered on Saturdays or showcased. 

For example: Heads up the week of June 26th-July 2nd will be Barbecue Bonanza! We’ll have extra recipes that week and we’ll focus on different rubs, blends, marinades, etc to make your Fourth extra fun and tasty. We’re prepping early because the Fourth is on a Tuesday this year.

I would also like to have a Health and Wellness Saturday to go over ways we can be healthy simply by eating or cooking a little differently. I’m not talking about cooking vegan or vegetarian. I love vegetables, but I also love meat. I’m talking about taking advantage of the fact our spices and herbs have healing properties as well as tasty flavors. 

Anyway I hope you will all check out these blogs and stop by the shop to chat with us. If anyone has any questions or topics you can message us on Facebook and Tumblr. I will have an Instagram soon…

GRAND OPENING: JUNE 22nd, 2023 at 6:00PM. 

We’ll be open all day, but at 6:00 there will be food, drink, and pleasant chat to christen our new shop officially. Come check out some brand new recipes and try some good food.

Thanks for reading,

The Black Apron
