Without Spice food would be boring and comparatively tasteless. We have created a library of spices and a library of recipes that use them to enhance the flavour. The range of spices is vast and covers the entire world. Every continent has its own spice which has helped to improve the taste and texture of our recipes.
Where would we be without Curry Powder or Turmeric or one of the best known spices Garlic. Imagine having Moules Mariniere without Garlic or Tarka Dal without Turmeric? Many people don’t appreciate how much added flavour Spices give to a recipe. Without them, the food would be boring and bland.
