Spice Kitchen Subscription

What's in the box: The site shows spice blends, spice tins with a mini cookery book, and related gifts, but does not clearly describe the contents of a recurring box.

Spice Kitchen is a UK spice business started in 2012 by home cook Shashi and Sanjay, who describe it as a family venture that grew out of a Christmas Day dinner conversation. The range centres on small batch signature blends, several of which the company says have won Great Taste awards, including Garam Masala, Jerk, Harissa and Za'atar. Blends come in collectable tins or giftable trios, and the shop also sells spice tins with a mini cookery book, feasting kits, spiced chocolate bars, hot chocolate and cookbooks. A free recipe section supports the products with dishes such as biryani, chilli paneer and fish tacos. The main caveat for this directory is that the homepage we reviewed does not clearly present a recurring subscription. It reads as a one-off shop and gift retailer, so check the site for any current subscription or repeat delivery option before expecting regular boxes. Heat seekers should also note that this is a spice brand rather than a hot sauce brand. Harissa is billed as the fiery option, but most of the range focuses on flavour and warmth rather than chilli heat. For cooks who want to explore world cuisines with ready made blends and attractive packaging, it looks like a solid, gift friendly choice.
