I think I've said this before but most foodies 'stockpile' spices. Indeed, if you have a little look around our cupboards, you will generally find one stuffed with every imaginable flavouring - some are used often, others less so and some you need to find a special recipe to use.
As I keep saying, I'm blessed as I live in Walthamstow so generally I can find most spices. I can safely say that I am never going to run out of cumin, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon and various other building blocks for good Indian (and for that matter, South African) food.
What I can't always get hold of are the spice mixes that I love to experiment with. However, I found Seasoned Pioneers which is an utterly wicked site. They have not only thinks like peri peri and harissa but Zanzibar curry and South African Curry.
Their seasoning section is divided into countries and it is really fun to browse through to see what you can choose and then cook. On the subject of cooking, they also do cooking sauces which are a little more unusual than those you generally find in Sainsburys.
They also ship to the US as well as the UK and Europe so no foodie is deprived.
Love it - use it!
