Connected collections

SpiceCare is designed to store spices for the way you cook. If you like to cook Italian, Latin, and Chinese, create a connected collection for each type of cuisine and have everything you need in one organized unit. Here are some suggestions for building collections to get you thinking about the best way to store your spices for the way you cook.

The Basics: 24 selections to fill a SpiceCare kit

This collection should cover most cooking needs, but by all means let your personal preferences guide you in the specific spice selections and quantities. It is best to buy whole spices and grind them yourself using an inexpensive electric coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle. At minimum buy whole nutmeg and grate it fresh as you need it.
