Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I had no idea you could buy spices online . We're needing to restock our spice cupboard so will have a good look later. Thanks girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 what did you order Lesley? how long have you got????? Ras el Hanout - which I went to look for....... Cardamom Masala Caribbean Jerk Spice Rub Indonesian Seven Seas Kaffir Lime Leaves Paprika Sumac Berries - I can't remember what I wanted them for now? Tandoori Masala and Rose Petals - some of those went in the Rose and Vanilla junket I made again yesterday. I've never felt excited about spices before - sad isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nigella also uses it for her moroccan leg of lamb. It's fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 It's not likely to be either ........ I wonder if they'll go with the dates I bought specifically to make something last year.... and then couldn't remember what it was The seasoned Pioneer site has recipes and descriptions of all the spices.... and a list of ingredients in the case of a mix like the Ras el Hanout.

Guest Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i'd never heard of it until my friend gave me a (delish) recipe for Moroccan lamb stew/tagine. She said to use Moroccan spices so i googled to try and find out where to get some and found details of ras el hanout. You can buy moroccan spices in Asda and i've used both and there is NO substitute for the real McCoy. It has to be Ras now or nothing for us, it makes ALL the difference.

Milly Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for this link, I'm going to boookmark it as it looks very useful. And there is no minimum order price which is good. I have used www.thespiceshop.co.uk (sorry, I can't remember how to do links and I can't find the instructions) which is very good, but you have to buy £10 at a time (although it's not hard, as they have so many interesting things).

Lesley Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Don't they look lovely! - did you already have the rack thingy? I was hoping my second order would come today, but it hasn't I've ordered some as part of a birthday present for my SIL. They send a handy little booklet with the order as well.

Couperwife Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Just been looking at this site, need to talk to Kev, as he is the one wot does most of the cooking . anyway, did you see the little questionnaire at the bottom of the page? you can choose the heat rating of your spices "Heat Rating: Mild Sultry Spicy Explosive Volcanic" VOLCANIC cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I didn't see the questionnaire! - I thought they were heat rated.... not that you could choose the heat rating? Carl would choose Volcanic - I prefer Mild.......... I haven't shown him the site - even though he does most of the cooking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 don't the little pouches look cute displayed like that I have a whole shelf in one of my cupboards just for spices, far too many little pots to display but I love the way they look on that rack Cat. This is my spice cupboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I already had the rack its my normal rail system spice rack. I have just moved all my old jar spices into my little pull out larder. These look prettier to have on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
