Spice once shaped empires, travelling  from India to Britain across oceans, altering trade routes and finding their  way into British kitchens centuries ago.

Now it sits in neat little jars in modern homes - often brought out for one thing and quietly returned to the shelf.

This Spice Masterclass changes that.

For 90 minutes , we explore what spice actually does.

  • What happens when spices hit hot oil and bloom
  • Why timing changes flavour completely
  • The difference between whole and ground spices
  • Why blends matter and a pinch can lift far more than a curry

Spices that were once valued more than gold  and silver have now lost their lustre and this class will restore their confidence back and yours too.

What our guests Say

★★★★★

“Absolutely worth it! I attended the Spice Masterclass at Mandira’s Kitchen and it completely changed how I cook. Mandira explains spices in a way that’s easy to understand, and the guided tasting really brought the flavours to life. The spice kit included is brilliant — I now use those blends in dishes every week!”

Customer Review
★★★★★

“Fun, educational and delicious! This masterclass was a joy from start to finish. The blend explanations, the classroom vibe in the barn, and the spiced cocktail made it memorable. I loved learning how timing and technique unlock flavour in everyday cooking. Highly recommend for anyone who loves food.”

Customer Review
★★★★★

"Great experience and lovely take-home kit. The class was informative even for someone who already cooks with spices. I especially enjoyed seeing how whole spices behave differently from ground ones. The spice kit was a nice bonus, and I’ve already used it in several recipes — definitely good value for £40.”
