Overview
Seasoning a pot of gumbo from start to finish is what this Zatarain's pair covers, with an all purpose Creole seasoning and a jar of gumbo file. The Creole blend flavors meats, seafood and vegetables, while the file powder thickens and flavors gumbos, etouffees and bisques.
Pairing an everyday Creole blend with file powder covers both seasoning and thickening for Louisiana classics. The file comes in a small jar, so frequent gumbo makers will need more.
Who it's for
Aspiring Cajun and Creole cooks, or anyone shopping for a food gift, get two Louisiana staples in one order. Experienced cooks with a stocked spice rack gain little.

Performance notes
The Creole blend seasons food directly, from a shake on fries to a base for jambalaya. File powder thickens the cooking liquid and adds its own earthy flavor to gumbos and stews.
