Cooking Classes 2005
We are an Australian, family owned business born of requests from attendees at our cooking classes who found it all too difficult to source, store, roast and blend spices (sometimes upto 20) required for genuine Indian food.  They asked can you make it simple for us them we said “no worries”.  

Established 2007
Following on these requests, we set out to formulate blends with their corresponding simple recipes to ensure that you  enjoy authentic dishes. This wasn't difficult as we adore spice and have fond memories of all the spice-based home remedies dished out at the first sneeze or fever back in India where a pantry doubles up as a medicine cabinet.  Our curries are straight forward and our recipes simple.  We draw on our tradition and offer you well honed, family recipes.  These were enjoyed at our cooking classes, where we explored the extensive range of cuisines fromcIndia's 28 States.  It is our privilege to offer you authentic blends from lesser known regions of India which you will never see in an Indian restaurant menu.  

Our mission

is to make an ancient art easy with our original 3-step recipes and freshly ground spices which incidentally saves you a lot of time searching fruitlessly for rare and unusual spices. When we say freshly ground spices we mean it – we only blend on demand because we want you and your family to enjoy your food the way we do - it's the next best thing thing to eating in an Indian home.  

Pure and good
We do not use any artificial colours, salt or fillers like gluten.  We do not use preservatives either because we believe there is no need to contaminate the intrinsic aroma and value of spice.    Besides being used to flavour food spices have several medicinal values and have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic preparations.   Because ours is a small business great care is taken in the selection and preparation of the ingredients.  Wherever possible we try and source fair trade raw materials. We are proud to offer you a product that is pure and good. To us the quality we offer is more important than money in the bank! We believe that our hard-won reputation for quality is our best asset. 

Minimum carbon footprint
We keep our packaging* to a minimum;  we therefore request that you store your blends in an airtight container/refrigerator when the goods reach you.  We also avoid printing and distribution of conventional marketing material. 

Share your secret and have fun
Most of our sales are through word of mouth – so tell a friend and share your secret to an easy but authentic curry.

Have fun in the kitchen (and elsewhere)
