This is exactly what led 28-year-old Corrine Kachig- ian of New Jersey to experi- ment and search for herbs and spices which would not lose their intensity on the kitchen shelf. The result is Dilijan Liquid Spice. The concen- trates of individual herbs and spices is certified kosher and the company guarantees a two-year shelf life. Since August 1989, the product has been. available in local stores. "It all began in Baltimore!" says Kachigian. "Four years ago, while visiting a restaur- ant there, I ate a dish called Flounder Oreganato. It was so delicious, I went home and tried to duplicate the wonder- ful taste." At that time, Kachigian was doing most of her cooking in a newly pur- chased microwave and the results of a fish dish with dried oregano sprinkled on top was a disaster. "There was absolutely no flavor and the oregano had dried into a bit- ter dust." The next step was to use chopped fresh oregano. Again, the flavor did not penetrate the fish. Kachigian, a very determined lady, wasn't about to give up. Although employed as an industrial designer, she spent long hours after work experimenting with reduction sauces from chopped fresh herbs. Finally, success! She created a concentrate which could be brushed over or add- ed to ingredients using any cooking method, and impart- ing a true, fresh flavor. Kachigian was overjoyed and enthusiastic "My new- found method seemed to fill a gap in the food market. I thought, people will buy this, she says, adding "I always wanted to go into a business which combined my love of cooking and eating?' Corrine Kachigian and hus- band Steve, a product man- ager for Beech-Nut Baby Foods, discussed the idea of marketing a spray strictly for microwave cooking. Instead, they decided to try to produce extracts to be sold commer- cially for all methods of cooking. After extensive research and testing with chefs and food scientists, a process was developed in which the in- tensely flavored oils are ex- tracted from each herb or spice and extended with natural soy oil. Kachigian worked closely on the project, , even when pregnant with daughter Talene, now almost two years old. "I was out ped- dling and asking questions, and a few hours after delivery, I was on the telephone conduc- ting business from my hos- pital room!' When the product was ready for marketing, the , Kachigian's named their com- pany Dilijan after "a charm- ing little village we stumbled on when travelling in the Soviet Union." Why did a non-Jewish couple of Armenian descent insist on a kosher project? "Caterers and hotels demand it," says Kachigian. "The kosher certification is looked upon as a sign of purity and good quality. And that's our goal." When cooking with these li- quid spices, I found Kach- igian's claim of "just like fresh" to be true. The aroma and fresh taste is as close to the real thing as you can get. Even after three months in my kitchen cupboard, there is no discernible loss in flavor. On a recent snowy after- noon, I had a wonderful cook- ing spree. Soups, chilis and rice were seasoned with these concentrates. Whether added at the last minute, at the beginning or during cooking, flavors are immediately released so that taste does not depend on the cooking time. Fast Winter Soup, Chili, and Rice and Peas were the basis of a couple of hearty meals. The Lemon and Herb Salad Dressing, Amazing Pesto and Herb Vegetable Stir Fry come courtesy of Dilijan kitchens. Presently, Dilijan Liquid Spices are available in four flavors: garlic, basil, onion and chili. A 5-oz bottle sells for $3.99 to $4.99. For institu- tional purposes, the company offers 14 flavors in 16-oz. bot- tles. For information, call Dili- jan Products Inc. 201-806-6048. Continued on Page 80 N
