It enlivens even the simplest dish - so believed Nirmala Narine when she began Nirmala’s Kitchen in 2003. Drawing upon her travels around the world, her ancestral roots in Guyana and her love of cooking, Narine began a line of gourmet spices. Grains, salts, flatbreads, soups, beverages and even a cookbook In Nirmala's Kitchen: Everyday World Cuisine quickly followed. Narine travels regularly to update her offerings bringing the spices of the world to your kitchen. www.nirmalaskitchen.com Trained in Paris, lesley stowe has been running her own catering company for 20 years. With her trademark Raincoast crisps ﬂying oﬀ shelves, stowe turned her attention to these tasty and versatile crisps. We love the texture of the treats which are perfect for spreads.
