This is the comprehensive introduction to spices that almost needs no introduction!

In this two-hour session, Ian Hemphill, otherwise known as 'Herbie' will navigate through the exotic waters of the history of the spice trade. You will learn about many different spices, their origins, and how they are processed and traded. Most importantly, Herbie will de-mystify their flavours and explain the principles behind spice blending, so you will feel comfortable using them in everyday cooking.

Included in this price is a glass of wine, some spicy nibbles and a pack of Herbie's delicious 'Balmain & Rozelle Spice Blend'
