Spice pastes - hot and pungent or mellow or fragrant - are the cornerstones of many of the cuisines of the world, and certainly of the food I like to prepare and eat. Dishes made using spice pastes benefit from the preservative, digestive and antiseptic properties of spices, meaning that they are not only delicious but healthy, too. However, making your own spice pastes for use in a recipe can be complicated and time-consuming. Realising that using ready-made spice pastes would save people valuable time and, for many, remove the fear of the unknown and the Intimidation of a lengthy cooking process, I embarked on the production of a commercial range of spice preparations.
