Simple, yet stunning recipes to inspire the home cook to use spices and transform their repertoire

The best way to create flavor to a dish is to add spice. And it doesn’t have to be complicated—including one spice blend can elevate a ordinary recipe to an instant crowd pleaser. Most of us have a few unused spices in the back of the cupboard because we only cook with them for one particular dish. Or we feel a bit overwhelmed by the myriad spices in the store, not knowing which ones marry together to create the best flavor. Sanjay's Spice Kitchen is here to demystify spices, reassuring you that you don’t need endless time, fancy equipment or a full pantry to create delicious dishes with ease—whether it’s a working lunch, a midweek dinner, a special date night, friends round at the weekend, or a family feast. Enjoy Spiced Peach and Goat's Cheese Salad, Harissa Chickpea Stew, Fiery Blackened Cajun Chicken, and Mamma Spice’s Dal Makhani and, just to emphasize how versatile spices can be, there is a "Spice Freedom" recipe in each chapter that takes one dish and shows how, by switching the blend, you can open a world of flavor possibilities. And, if you want to go a step further, Sanjay has given away the secrets of his award-winning spice blends—including Tandoori, Garam Masala, Sri Lankan, Mexican, Za’atar, Jerk, Harissa, Baharat, and Cajun—so you can make them at home, from scratch.   It's time to spice up your repertoire and create stunning dishes in the kitchen.
