Spices play a significant part in my cooking. Every spice has its own unique flavouring. There are hundreds of spices from around the world that you can pick up from your local supermarket which do not contain unnecessary added preservatives. Always check the ingredients!  Spices come with notable nutritional values and provide some major health benefits. Spicing up your meal is not only great for your taste buds; they transform your dish and will give you a boost of antioxidants (substances that protect cells from damage). I prefer to use the whole spices which I grind myself in a pestle and mortar and coffee grinder. I find that the flavours are much stronger when freshly ground. Stored in my round stainless-steel spice pot are some of my favourite spices that I use in my recipes.   Each spice has a unique flavour, taste & aroma, they can completely transform your dish!
