hat better time of year is there to add a little spice to your life than in the fall? Sure, there is basic cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, but thanks to La BoĂŽte, a Manhattan-based shop, spices are reimagined by Lior Lev Sercarz, a chef and master spice blender. It all started with an externship in France with Olivier Roellinger, a renowned French chef and spice maker that opened the world of spices for Sercarz. He then brought that knowledge to New York and worked alongside the great Daniel Boulud at Daniel. In 2006, he decided to venture out on his own and open La BoĂŽte Biscuits & Spices, in the Hells Kitchen section of New York City, both a shop and art gallery. With over 41 different spices, ordinary meals can be transformed and taken to a whole new delicious level.
