When was the last time you discovered a new cuisine that completely surprised your taste buds? For me, it was my recent adventure at Muna’s, a vibrant Ethiopian restaurant in Tollcross that’s rapidly becoming the talk of Edinburgh’s food scene.
But before I tell you about my experience there, I need to share my long-standing love affair with a particular spice company.
I’ve been smitten with Seasoned Pioneers, a Wirral-based spice company, ever since they sent me some recipe box spices nearly seven years ago under the guise of the Spice Pioneer.
Though these particular kits are no longer available, the company itself has become a trusted brand among leading food writers and chefs – Delia Smith and Nick Nairn count themselves as fans, and I’m certainly in that club too.
The company was founded by Mark Steene, whose worldwide travels sparked a fascination with international seasonings. Today, the small team at Seasoned Pioneers offers an impressive range of over 300 authentic spices, chillies, herbs, seasonings, and spice blends, including organic options.
Each blend in their renowned collection is handmade to traditional recipes, crafted in small batches using up to fifteen carefully selected ingredients. The spices are dry-roasted, ground, and blended, resulting in convenient packages of authentic flavour that capture cuisines from across the globe.
