What makes something tangy




















It was certainly always a big hit at our breakfast table, but I suspect that if someone had mixed just about anything with white sugar I would have gladly put it on my toast.

At The Silk Road we hand-mix over 80 spice blends on a consistent basis and are continuously developing new recipes. Some are our own creations and some are our versions of tried and true favourites.

The creation of a new blend can involve quite a lot of research as well as trial and error because there are always infinite possible variations of each blend. The final product that you find on our shelves has been tried, tested and tweaked by staff members who try out the newest creations at home. This being said, all our blends begin with an idea and underlying all bright ideas are some basic spice-blending principles.

Anyone can make their own mixture, but as in cooking, spice blending needs to strike a balance between sweet, salty, sour and bitter taste elements.

Ian Hemphill, author of The Spice and Herb Bible , breaks spices into five categories in order to achieve this balance with more ease. Amalgamating spices: These spices recur in many though not all spice blends and will give the mixture a base of flavour to build upon.

This category includes things like coriander , turmeric and paprika. These spices will tie the recipe together without commanding too much attention. Sweet spices: These spices have their own natural sweet tendencies and are often used in desserts like puddings, cakes and pastries but they have their place in savoury foods as well. The sweet spices include cinnamon , vanilla , nutmeg and aniseed. Pungent spices have a freshness of flavour that may be otherwise be lacking in food and should be used rather sparingly due to their strength.
