  • About

Spices are the soul of my kitchen. They put the spirit into a dish. Their aroma and flavour can be luring and intoxicating, taking you on a journey of excitement, memory or nostalgia in the same way that whisky can; it seems natural that they should go hand in hand.

So what exactly is a spice?
Technically, it is the dried part of a rhizome, root, bark, flower, fruit or seed, whereas a herb is the herbaceous or leafy part of an aromatic plant. Some ingredients like fresh ginger root, garlic and lemongrass get swept under the spice banner but, by definition, if they are fresh they are not spices. Believed by many cultures to be integral to our very health and vitality, spices have been enhancing the food we eat for thousands of years.
