The Spicery

Looks like a decent resource for those into home cooking and wanting to add some decent flavours to bland foods without worrying about bad calories.

Just ordered various spices from them so will see what concoctions I can create on the BBQ.

Finally got around to cooking with my various bits today and must say the quality of goods is top class plus delivery was very quick. Knocked up a great satay chicken creating a proper tamarind paste as part of the marinade and knocking up a sratch peanut sauce.

Spot on company to deal with.

I ate it already. Can easily knock back 2-3 chicken breasts in a sitting marinaded in that stuff. Also handy that my local Budgens is doing an offer on chicken for all of this month - 500g for £3.

Gaucho's is amazing, if a touch expensive. You see the Steak platter?

Yes, it was lovely, they asked what I wanted and I said everything. Cost me £45 just for steak, then booze on top!

Gaucho's is awesome for steak but it always feels silly paying that sort of money for steak when it's easy to cook it every bit as well at home.

Price for eating Steak out does dick me off as it usually ends in disappointment so I tend to avoid with a few exceptions.
