Home//Short Courses//2025//March//10//Explosions of Flavour – Master Herbs and Spices

  • Overview

    Yotam Ottolenghi refers to his homemade spice blends and sauces as flavour bombs, and we cannot agree more with his description!

    In this course, you will be introduced to the ingredients that we generally use in the smallest quantities, but they have the greatest impact on the flavour. You will learn to work with herbs and spices and how to turn them into store cupboard blends and sauces that will transform any meal into something sublime!
