"A must-read for lovers of big flavour" 

~ Dominique Woolf, founder of The Woolf's Kitchen and #1 Sunday Times Best-Selling author of Dominique's Kitchen

Forget long lists of ingredients; cooking with spices just got easier. With this cookbook, we want to empower you to become as confident cooking with spice blends as you are with salt and pepper. We will show you how to transform your mealtimes and add huge flavour using one simple spice blend.

The best way to increase flavour in a dish is to add spice. And it doesn’t have to be complicated – including one spice blend can elevate an ordinary recipe to an instant crowd-pleaser. 

Why you'll love it

Most of us have a few unused spice blends in the back of the cupboard because we only cook with them for one particular dish. Or we feel overwhelmed by the myriad spices in the supermarket, not knowing which ones marry together to create the best flavour.

Sanjay's Spice Kitchen is here to demystify spices, reassuring you that you don’t need endless time, fancy equipment or a full storecupboard to create delicious dishes with ease – whether it’s a working lunch, a midweek supper, a special date night, friends round at the weekend or a family feast.

Enjoy Spiced Peach and Goat's Cheese Salad, Harissa Chickpea Stew, Fiery Blackened Cajun Chicken and Mamma Spice’s Dal Makhani and, just to emphasise how versatile spices can be, there is a 'Spice Freedom' recipe in each chapter that takes one dish and shows how, by switching the blend, you can open a world of flavour possibilities.

And, if you want to go a step further, Sanjay has given away the secrets of his award-winning spice blends – including Tandoori, Garam Masala, Sri Lankan, Mexican, Za’atar, Jerk, Harissa, Baharat and Cajun – so you can make them at home, from scratch.

It's time to spice up your repertoire and create stunning dishes in the kitchen.
