The Victorian Garden Herbal Gourmet Products

Our gourmet product line, The Victorian Garden began in 1989 featuring Herbal Dips, Cheese Spread Mixes, Herbal Sugars, Bread Mixes, & Soup Mixes. All of our herb mixes are all natural with no preservatives or artificial flavoring. We have several dip mixes which do contain food coloring to enhance their appearance or refined sugar. there will be an asterisk * in front of these products. They are packed generously so all products with the exception of the bread mixes make more than one recipe. Our mixes are carefully blended by hand in small quantities-(of 100 packages or less), by hand from my own recipes.





Each product card features graphics from Victorian engravings and Edwardian-Era French postcards. The card is then embellished with a hand-tied bow & finished with a gold & garden green seal. Bread Mixes are packaged in fabric bags finished with a recipe card and hand-tied bow. All dips, seasonings, sugars, & soup mixes are packed in a zip lock plastic bag to keep them fresh & retain flavor.



Lavender cookies made from our Lavender Sugar. Additional sugar varieties include...
Mandarin Orange Spice
Myra's Magical Mint
Rose Geranium.




Our Beer Bread Mixes are packaged in pretty floral fabric bags, complete with a recipe card tied with a bow. We also package in Christmas fabric for the holidays as well as masculine patterns for the guys! The mix is heat-sealed inside a plastic bag to retain freshness.

To make Beer Bread simply mix the contents of the bag with 12 ounces beer or ginger ale - pour into a loaf pan & bake. That's all there is to it...no kneading...no rising. *May be used in a bread machine on "quick bread" setting.

Part of our original line in 1989, the Beer Bread Mixes come in eight different varieties. They make a lovely presentation & are excellent for gift-giving.



Our own line of herbal dip & cheese spread mixes, herbal sugars, bread mixes, soup mixes, & scone mixes. Each of our dip & spread mixes make more than one recipe. Every product comes with a Victorian-inspired card with hand-tied bow & includes recipe to make each product & additional recipe suggestions.

All of our recipes may be made with Fat Free ingredients with little change except to the consistency - fat free cream cheese has a smoother texture than block.


Be sure to visit our website to view our entire line. Check out some of our favorite recipes. Bon apetite!

Bread and cheese? OH, my! You speak my language. I would take that over candy or chocolate/sweets anyday! YUM!
