… when I was still living in Germany, I was a saleswoman in a small spice shop. they sold quality spices and herbs, imported from all over the world and I loved trying them and learning new things. in my opinion a lot of people don’t know what a difference proper seasoning can make and are too scared to try it. and I think it’s perfectly understandable, especially if it’s exotic and weird at first glimpse. you don’t want to mess up that meal you cooked for ages by adding cinnamon, right?!
I absolutely love spices and flavours and the influence they have on our memories, associations and of course on our food.
here I will tell you more about different herbs and spices and take you on a journey all over the world. you might even find one or another garnish for gin. but that’s a whole other story…
