November 01, 2025 Samuel Valme

Experience the Heart of Haitian Flavor—Now in Dry Form

If you’ve ever made traditional Haitian Epis from scratch, you know how much time it takes to prep, blend, and store. That’s why we created something special for our community: the new Dinner Ideas Collective Epis Dry Blends, available in Mild and Hot versions.

For a limited time, early access is open! Be one of the first to order and help us reach our 100-order goal this November.

You can now enjoy the full flavor of homemade Haitian seasoning—without the extra steps.

What Makes Our Mild Epis Dry Blend Special

Our Epis Dry Blend (Mild) brings all the traditional flavors of homemade Epis—garlic, herbs, bell pepper, and spices—in one easy scoop. It’s perfect for marinating chicken, fish, or vegetables when you want that authentic Haitian flavor but with less heat.

Just mix it with oil or water, let your meat soak for 30 minutes, and you’ll have a perfectly seasoned dish that tastes like it came straight from a Haitian kitchen.

You can find our Epis Mild Blend locally at:

Fayette County
• Vine Flavors – 917 N Glynn St, Fayetteville, GA 30214
• Best Seafood Direct Market – 220 W Lanier Ave, Fayetteville, GA 30214

Clayton County
• Select International Farmers Market – 8639 Tara Blvd, Jonesboro, GA 30238

For the Spice Lovers: Our New Hot Epis Dry Blend

Our Epis Dry Blend (Hot) is made for those who love that extra kick of heat. We use authentic scotch bonnet pepper powder to bring bold, fiery flavor while keeping the same aromatic base you’d find in traditional wet Epis.

Use it to marinate griot, roasted chicken, or seafood for a bold Caribbean twist that wakes up your taste buds. It’s seasoning and culture in one bottle.

Epis Dry Blend vs. Wet Epis: Why It Matters

Making wet Epis can cost over $25 in ingredients and takes hours to prepare. With our Dry Blend, you get the same balanced flavor with just a spoonful—no chopping, blending, or storing needed.

Our blends are shelf-stable, easy to use, and made with the same love and ingredients found in traditional Haitian kitchens. Whether you prefer Mild or Hot, both versions make cooking faster while keeping every bite full of Haitian pride.

Dinner Ideas Collective is such a gem! I love how they bring together traditional flavors with creative twists — it’s like rediscovering my culture through food. The recipes are easy to follow, super flavorful, and they remind me of home. From diri djon djon to legim and pikliz, everything hits! If you love Haitian food or want to explore it the right way, this is the page to follow.

This book is so nostalgic! It has all the recipes that have been made by my family and the people at my church. Many of these I don’t know how to make but am excited to try! I know every cook adds their own touch so I think these are foundational and a great way to make each recipe your own. I wonder if they will taste like how I remember bc some seasonings are missing but remember everyone adds their own touch. I do wish each of the recipes had their own image of the finished product. I absolutely loved the beginning with all the vocabulary. It’s probably my favorite part of the book. I can’t wait to expand my culinary knowledge of my culture.

This cookbook is a solid go-to for anyone looking to bring authentic Haitian flavors to the dinner table. A great everyday resource for Haitian cooking!

It’s a good book but it is not beginner friendly

The media could not be loaded.

I was going through the book and all the directions are pretty straight forward if you have any idea already on how to cook these foods. There’s not much detail or depth for beginners to be able to use this details. So buy with caution.
