Serious cooks, where do you buy your spices on-line please?

[Spreadingcudweed]

Any particular recommendations re: freshness, range good customer service etc?

For the Aussie MNetters, I buy all my herbs, spices and teas on Australherbs

I'm located in continental Europe but thank you anyway KingIrving

Anyone?

I have used spicesofindia.co.uk successfully. Foxes of Stratford on Avon are really good quality but they don't have a proper internet site. You can call or email an order.

Thank you very much Mateysmum

OP some of my more fancy cook books have a section in the back where the chefs lists where they buy all the far flung ingredients from. This section has a specific name which I can't remember due to extreme sleep deprivation when do they start to sleep? So it might be worth checking out some of your cookbooks to see if that helps too.

I know she ain't that well revered by Nigella always seems to know where to get good species and herbs from, she's a spice fiend if her show is correct.

That's a great idea Gimble I'll have a look - thank you!

I second www.spicesofindia.co.uk; also like www.mexgrocer.co.uk and the amazing www.souschef.co.uk. (I buy a lot of spices online!)

Brilliant Artfulpuss thank you!

One of these 3 depending on what I need

Great to have more suggestions and links, thank you so much CDTaylornats. I had a look at Seasoned Pioneers for the first time today because Nigella mentions them in the back of How To Eat!

Oh I love 'How To Eat' too Op. it's the first book I go to when I need to find a recipe and I always trust it over other recipes I might find for the same dish. In the days before having a baby I used to read it like a book. I swear I learnt so much that way and I love how Nigella writes anyway.

Yes she writes really, really well I think. I find her recipes a bit hit and miss but the good ones are really good ifyswim. I think her Christmas book is one of my all time favourites too.

Fox's are great if you know what you need... Plus their uncooked prawn crackers are EVERYTHING

Thank you LadyMonica ! Good to know about the prawn crackers!

I like Spice Mountain spicemountain.co.uk/

I had purchased some herbs online before at www.savoryspiceshop.com/herbs-spices/. There are a lot of different spices you can choose from and you can also select your desired ratio.

Amazon.

It's great to have more recommendations - thanks everyone - much appreciated!

Looking forward to getting my Christmas supplies in now!
