Saffron is our love affair; a culinary crescendo that evokes a warmth of its own. But cooking is so much more than a single ingredient — it’s also about respect. It’s about respecting people from different cultures who dedicate their lives to creating something extraordinary with every dish they serve; family meals or five-star restaurants alike.
And that’s why we’re inviting everyone to join us – to share their recipes, explore new flavors and be part of something special. We know everyone has something delicious to offer!
For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ...

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between curried curry and curried curry?
The spellings are the same. Both words refer to the same thing: an Indian dish combining meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry comes from the Hindi word kari meaning "to rub." This term refers to how the spice mixture is rubbed onto the food. Curried foods should be cooked until they are golden brown.
Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. You can choose from chicken, beef, lamb or fish as well as vegetables and rice.
Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).
What is the importance and purpose of spices?
A spice is a seasoning that is used to enhance the flavor of food. Spices can come in many forms: powders or liquids, oils, pastes or seeds, as well as liquids and gums. They are also known for their versatility and ability to be used as flavours and condiments.
Spicing up dishes is a great way to add variety to meals. For extra flavor and excitement, you can add many spices to your dishes.
It may be that adding a few drops to your bowl of soup makes it more flavorful. A cup of cooked rice could be made more delicious by adding a few cayenne to the soup.
You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. Organic herbs are better than dried herbs. Fresh herbs will last longer than dried.
Certain spices are essential in cooking. However, you may prefer to avoid some. If you have a history or liver disease, cinnamon sticks can be dangerous. Ginger also has coumarin, although it's less concentrated. It is safe for people without a history or liver disease.
How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat.
For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.
Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. To prolong their shelf life you can freeze them.
What is the most recognizable ingredient in Thai food?
Thailand's main ingredients for all dishes are rice and curry. This is how you get an unforgettable flavor.
In Thailand, we call this combination "Khao Pad Krai," which means 'the best dish.' This is because when these two basic foods are combined into a single dish, they become incredibly delicious and irresistible.
The same applies to life. It is possible to achieve great success by combining the two key ingredients of hard work, perseverance, and determination.
The right ingredients can make you successful, like Khao Pad Krai: passion and purpose. You'll create something amazing if you combine them.
Next time you feel like eating Thai food, remember that it takes more than just rice and curry to make a memorable meal. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!
Thai food uses paprika?
Yes. It is a key ingredient in many dishes, such as Pad See Ew (Thai-fried rice), made from eggs cooked with coconut milk.
Thai cuisine, Mexican, Spanish and Indian food, as well as Thai and Balkan dishes, contain paprika.
Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language "pepper" is the origin of "paprika".

How To
Do you know how to make curry paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It's a common ingredient in Thai cuisine.
One of the most widely used condiments in Southeast Asia is curry paste. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It's not difficult to make at home! Just follow our step-by-step guide below:
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- You need to prepare all ingredients before starting this recipe.
- Peel and chop shallots (about two cups). Then chop galangal root into small pieces (about 3 inches long) and set aside.
- Next, you will need to peel and slice the garlic cloves (about 4 cloves). Peel and finely mince lemongrass stems (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Then, crush dried red chilli peppers (about four tablespoons) and remove the seeds (optional).
- Next, trim the kaffir lime leaves into strips about 5 inches in length. Set aside the white portion of the stem.
- After draining the shrimp paste, wash it well and then coarsely smash it.
- Last, take out the salt and sugar.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
- The texture should look similar to peanut-butter.
- If you would like to reduce the amount oil in your dish, you could substitute water for some of it.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Mix in coconut milk and stir well.
- To prevent the coconut milk from becoming too sticky, slowly add it.
- If you like it milder, reduce the number of chillies used and add more galangal root.
- You can make it more spicy by adding more chilies and less galangal root. The final result should taste delicious to you.
Step4 - Serve
- Top with your favorite food.
- Enjoy!
