The Spice Discovery
More than a mailbox full of spices, the Spice Discovery gives you everything you need to really master the use of each new spice you’re introduced to, with practical recipes that demonstrate the diversity of each spice.
One fragrant little packet has the power to work magic on dishes as varied as panna cotta and fish stew. Get ready to really discover new spices and their many, many flavourful talents.

We've partnered with Herbie's Spices to make sure that you get the very best spices available. Herbie's Spices have lead the spice trade in Australia for decades, and all spices in the Spice Discovery are ground and packed to order in their spicery on the NSW Central Coast.
What to expect
- Each spice comes with it’s own exotic story – it’s motley past, intriguing and useful facts, where you might have tasted it before, how to buy the best and what other flavours your new spice brings alive.
- You’ll also receive 3 recipes for each spice, 6 in every delivery, carefully curated to help you experiment with the many ways these versatile spices can be used.
- For every spice, there will be at least one recipe excluding each of the following: meat and seafood, gluten, egg and dairy.
- The Spice Discovery will be in your mailbox at the beginning of every second month
- Extra recipes for your new spices are published every week on The Taste Collective website

The recipes in the Spice Discovery assume that you have 12 basic spices in your cupboard at home - we call this the Base Kit. You'll need bay leaves, chilli powder, cinnamon quills, ground cinnamon, whole cloves, ground coriander, whole coriander seeds, ground cumin, ground ginger, sweet paprika, whole black peppercorns and turmeric. If you don't have all of these at home, pick up the few extras you need from your local spice merchant or buy the Base Kit on The Taste Collective website once this campaign is over.
Why we're here & how it works
This campaign essentially works as a pre-sale. When you back the Spice Discovery you're repaid with great rewards that in most cases are totally unique to this launch campaign, and we take an oath to provide you with increasingly cool stuff for up to a year.
But it's all or nothing. If we don't meet our minimum goal of $25k, you won't be charged for your pledge, and the Spice Discovery won't live beyond the special idea that it is.
So, every little bit counts. If you love it, pick one of the great rewards on your right, back us, then tell your friends all about it.
