We grind and blend all of the spices by hand, in a way that their natural oils are released and can combine in a way that accentuates the fragrances of each spice. So much care and attention that goes into each blend. My motto in cooking is “there are no mistakes, only opportunities to discover hidden flavours” – that means anyone can become a good cook.

Our business is a family affair. We get the kids involved to show them the joy of working hard and helping others. They help with sticking stickers on the packages, moving stock, and packaging up orders to send out. When a big order comes through, we will eat dinner together, clean up and then we all sit around and work hard. It’s a great time to chat and spend time together too. Our oldest son is our chief photographer – at 10, we think he’s pretty awesome at it too!
