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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to add spice to a drink?
I love spices adding flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
Here's where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two possible ways to create these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you have mastered the art of making powdered spices you can use that same technique for herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.
The possibilities are endless. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.
What spices are used to make Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is renowned for its complex flavour profiles. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.
Thai cuisine uses common ingredients such as galangal (lemongrass), kaffir lime leaves and chillies.
Each of these spices contributes to the distinctive flavour profile of Thai cuisine. Lemongrass is often used in soups, curries, and stews; galangal adds a slight peppery note to dishes; kaffir lime leaves impart a citrusy aroma; chillies provide a spicy kick; garlic adds a sharp and pungent flavour to dishes; shrimp paste adds an umami depth to food; coriander has a mild, yet fragrant aroma; cumin brings a smoky note to dishes; and turmeric gives food a vibrant yellow hue.
These spices are combined to create complex flavour profiles specific to Thai cuisine. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. Get these spices to bring Thailand's flavors into your home.

How To
How To Make A Garlic Press?
A garlic press is a valuable tool in every home cook's kitchen. It allows you to efficiently mince garlic into a paste or puree it into a smooth sauce, soup, or salad dressing. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.
You might be wondering where to begin if you don’t have a garlic press. We have some tips to help get you started.
First of all, you'll need to get a large bowl. Then, place the bowl under the press and add the crushed garlic. Now, set the pressure regulator valve to the maximum.
Next, rotate the handle clockwise until it clicks. The top of the press should lift up and expose a flat surface. This will allow you slide the blade back-and-forth over the bowl. Continue turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the blades come to a close.
Finally, take out the pressed garlic.
Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:
- Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
- Use the press for whole garlic cloves to make a buttery spread
- Make pizza dough by crushing whole cloves.
- Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
- Use the press to make homemade pesto out of garlic
- Blend garlic to make a smooth vinaigrette
