Our Company

Phil LaMarche created Instant Gourmet over 46 years ago. Phil, an accomplished chef, got tired of having over 100 bottles of spices in his kitchen. So he mixed blends of herbs and spices that could be put on any food, yet taste different with every dish. When people taste food seasoned with Instant Gourmet, they never ask, "What is that spice?" Instead, they say it was the best meal they have ever had!

Our spice blends are made from only the finest herbs, spices and vegetables - dried and packed fresh with NO MSG or preservatives, and far less salt than typical spice blends. Instant Gourmet enhances the natural flavor of all of your favorite foods: from meats and poultry, to veggies, sauces, soups, salads and more!

LaMarche Enterprises (Instant Gourmet^®) has grown, and Phil doesn't mix the spice in his kitchen anymore. Instead, he and Diane concentrate on developing new spice combinations that will WOW you! New products are being perfected and released on a regular basis.
