Using Herbs and Spices to Create Fabulous Flavours For Your Home Cooking

Welcome to Spice-Mixes.com.

Have you ever opened up a jar of commercial spice powder and been slapped in the face with intense aromas and powerful fragrances of the herbs and spices within?

No, me neither!

But this is what to expect when you begin using the recipes on this site to create your own homemade spice blends, herb mixes, rubs, powders and seasonings!

A Few Examples of What You Get...

I promise, once you have a go at making your own, and the flavours, colours, aromas and vibrancy they add to your home cooking, you'll never go back to dull, lifeless commercial powders!

When it comes to cooking with spices, freshness is the absolute key. And often commercial pre-ground spices and dried herbs have as much aroma as that box of Christmas decorations you get out of the attic once a year! Not surprising really, due to the length of time they may have been sitting on the store shelves.

Why Not Just Buy Commercial Herbs and Spices?

Of course it's easy to pop to the store and pick up a jar of curry powder or old bay seasoning; so why would you make your own?

• Tons more flavour than store-bought blends
• More cost effective
• You have complete control over what goes in. Don't like a certain herb or spice? Leave it out or substitute another
• Commercial spice mixes may contain too much salt or cheaper ingredients like chili powder and husks
• You don't know when they were made or how long they have been sitting on the shelf losing flavour and potency
• If you use the same store-bought brand as everyone else, you're home cooked food may end up tasting the same as everyone else's!

And, what I think is the most important point to making your own...

You will be able to cook in confidence knowing that there are no "hidden nasties" in your blends and mixes!

Like a lot of food you buy nowadays, commercial powders and blends, especially at the cheaper end of the market, may contain artificial colours, additives preservatives and even GMO's!

So, if like me you absolutely value clean, natural, chemical free home cooking you can now prepare delicious food for you and your family worry free!
