Mother’s Day: Gift ideas for the foodie mum

This year more than ever, our mums need to know how much we love and appreciate them. While we might not be able to spend the day with them, we can send a gift that fills their heart. If your mother is a foodie, she surely has been spending a lot of time cooking at home lately, so why not offer an upgrade to her spice rack so that she can fall back in love with everyday dishes and experiment with new flavours!

With our Build Your Own Collection you can pick 8 exquisite single-origin spices that you know your mum will love. All our spices are the finest of their type, combining flavour excellence with sustainability and provenance. So whatever you choose, prepare for mum’s palate to be blissfully amused.

Mother’s Day Gift Boxes

If you need a little inspiration, we’ve gone ahead and created three gift boxes to get you started. Which category does your mum fall under? Is she baking-obsessed, does she enjoy an exotic cuisine or does she have the palate of a yogi?

For the mum who loves to bake

Is your mum is a pudding queen? Does she love nothing more than getting her apron covered in flour while baking cakes, brownies and muffins? Then these are the perfect spices for her:

• Morogoro Cacao

• Royal Cinnamon

• Cinnamon Verum

• Desert Fennel

• Buffalo Ginger

• Desert Hibiscus Flowers

• New Harvest Turmeric

• Kochi Yuzu Peel Powder

And you might wonder why she needs two types of cinnamon. Well, like all spices there is a lot more about them that meets the eye (and a lot more history and tradition than we usually pay attention to). Royal Cinnamon is super sweet, super spicy. Cinnamon Verum is more herbal and savoury. So depending on what you are cooking (or baking) you can choose the type that elevates the flavours you need in your dish.

For the exotic mum

Does your mum have a cultured palate? Does she love to travel? This selection of spices will take her on a worldly tour of exotic cuisines including Shichimi Togarashi from Japan, Cured Sumac from Turkey and Wild Kelp from Iceland.

• Wild Icelandic Kelp
