Hot Tips

How to store spices

Spices will generally be at their best for up to a month, if stored correctly. Store spices in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their flavor more quickly.

Glossary

Harissa

North African hot paste, usually served with couscous, is a fiery mixture of chillies, garlic, cumin, coriander, mint and oil.
