Saleha Mohideen
August, 16, 2017My favourite and most versatile would have to be rosemary from their spice rack, just like using a fresh stem! I combine it with a little bit of butter and garlic cloves when grillling steak. the perfect meal. Also great to use on fresh veggies roasted with a little bit of olive oil. So simple yet still full of flavor 🙂

Monèl

Joande Fourie

Meredith Fernandes
August, 11, 2017I love cinnamon and use it on my cereal in the mornings, on pancakes of course and when my throat is sore I make a hot water with honey, cinnamon, ginger, lemon and turmeric tea that is very soothing. I use turmeric alot in cooking and on eggs etc, for its many health benefits. Cumin is a must in any Mexican inspired dishes.
Peter
August, 11, 2017The spice that caught my eye in this rack is the Spanish Smoked Sweet Paprika, it gives a wood smoke flavour without having to cook over a wood fire.
I use smoked paprika in a few dishes, my top 3 choices would be:
Smoky pulled pork (pork leg rubbed in mixed spice and smoked paprika then slow braised with onion and garlic in cider)
Beef shin ragu (braised beef shin, slow cooked with smoked paprika and italian herbs until meat is falling apart). I serve this with homemade gnocchi
Smoky meatball sub. The kids love this one and I make a big batch so we have in the freezer for quick meals. Homemade beef meatballs cooked in a tomato sauce spiced with smoked paprika. Served on ciabatta bread topped with cheese. To make it healthier we put grated baby marrows and carrot into the sauce to make sure they get their veggies.
Just made myself hungry now!
Pete
Shirley
August, 9, 2017Origanum is my go to spice-I think I use it in all my savourary dishes ?

Lynn Botha
August, 6, 2017The Indian curry is absolutely divine.. my mutton curry has the most fragrant and rich taste.
Hildegarde_k
August, 6, 2017My favourite spice is smoked paprika and I would honestly use it in my oats if that was acceptable. 😉 I use it in all my tomato-based sauces and dishes, and I love it on smashed avo. I also make a grilled corn and avo salad and then I sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked chilli flakes on top. Yum!
Georgie
August, 4, 2017I can’t just choose one, so I’m gonna choose two; cinnamon and turmeric!
I use cinnamon on and in literally everything.. my coffee, cereal, smoothies, baking and the list goes on. Turmeric I use to make my own turmeric latte, to help with inflammation.. and I love using it as the main ingredient of my weekly home made hydrating face mask.
Neronie
August, 4, 2017BAY LEAF! I simply heart bay leaves, full of aroma & flavor and brings most of my dishes to life almost instantly! I use it whole as well as add it to blends of spice in the grinder/blender and it brings out a different flavor.
Nicole
August, 4, 2017I love spice so much, that one isn’t enough, that’s why my favorite is Garam Masala! A great blend of cinnamon and cumin, It just lifts a curry, or adds warmth to a chicken chowder.
Alisha Basdow
August, 4, 2017I do not have an absolute favourite spice, I love them all!
Cumin (jeera as I know it (I’m Indian)), bay leaves, and a cinnamon stick are amazing in curry! (yes, a cinnamon stick in curry is a normal thing) – fried lightly in oil, with some onions and chillies to create an aromatic and delicious base for any curry.
The combination of black pepper, paprika, and origanum on margarita pizzas, potatoes, even on some cheese toast is simply divine. Rosemary, paprika, cumin, chillies, black pepper, and some salt on a perfect cut of lamb, in the oven… my mouth is watering!
Wendy Hartwig
August, 4, 2017My favourite spice is cinnamon – I love to use it when I’m baking or when I have oats for breakfast 🙂
Simone Cameron
August, 4, 2017I love using the paprika on chicken. My kids love it with a zuchinni fried rice that I make them.
Sheraton
August, 4, 2017The best spice has got to be Nutmeg, it is the most versatile spice I use. Especially in baking; it brings out the warmest flavors of any season. It balances out zestiness of citrus fruits and brings out the sweetness of all fruits. In curries and soups; just a touch of nutmeg has the power to embolden the main ingredient – be it meat or a warm hearty butternut soup. Not to forget just a tiny grate over your cup of hot chocolate will leave your taste buds yearning for more.
Muneera
August, 4, 2017My favourite spice is sweet smoked paprika, and my favourite dish is to use it with pan-fried chicken flavoured with salt, pepper, garlic and paprkia. Served with potatoes and traditional South African sweet yellow rice, and some roast veg, it’s a perfect and quick weeknight meal
Rubina
August, 4, 2017I love spices and herbs and choosing one is rather difficult.
However my choice is origanum.
I love the savoury scent it has and its versatility.
I use it to sprinkle on salads, to flavour savoury scones, on pizza, in pasta, to top a savoury bread as well as inside it for flavour, and for using it either as a dry rub or in a marinade for chicken, roasted/grilled/braaied, or dry for rubbing on a steak. I also use it along with some other herbs for roasted vegetables.
It’s truly a wonderful herb.
Kelita Ganesh
August, 4, 2017I’m a sucker for a cinnamon & nutmeg combination. I use it on almost everything, from flavouring hot milk for a winter warmer to dusting it over sliced green apples for a healthy dessert. I’ve also started using it in my cooking to add a little kick to dishes like fried rice, butter tossed mushrooms and roasted butternut. The sweetness of the spices adds this beautiful homely feel to whatever it is used on.
Emma
August, 4, 2017Definitely cinnamon; I use it in both savoury and sweet dishes. It adds a lovely Cape Malay flavour to curries, and is sweet and warming in my morning oats and stewed apples.
Rachel
August, 3, 2017I love all the spices. Rosemary is my go to favorite. I would love love to win
I am a personal nutritionist and personal trainer and going to school to be a Rn.

Kirsten Morrison
August, 2, 2017I’m loving Tumeric right now…in sweet or savoury dishes it just adds both a pop of Colour and a delicious warming taste. I use it to make golden rice, to jazz up Winter curries and stews and for breakfast, I add it to oats and smoothies. I also enjoy a warm, golden latte at night with steamed milk, a dollop of honey and a small sprinkling of tumeric.
Andrea bester
August, 1, 2017I love using the bay leaves in my food, brings out so much flavour. Add it to my spices ,then add meat etc .By the time your foods done , you just fall in love with the smell.
Abigail
August, 1, 2017Rosemary is my go to for everything! Some people say it doesn’t “go” with everything, but I don’t let those people tell me what to do! #LivingonthEdge. Currently my favourite tecipe is a lemon and herb (of course rosemary) baked chicken. Light, healthy, tasty and delicious! I got the recipe from Jessica Sepel’s original cook book 🙂
Tracy Jacobs
August, 1, 2017I use cinnamon on top of my Nomu skinny hot chocolate every night, in my gluten free pancakes. Cumin in just about everything especially grated courgettes and cream.
Saskia
August, 1, 2017Asking me to CHOOSE between spices – it’s like choosing between my children !
Moroccan rub is a favouritr for versatile & exotic flavours.
Smoked paprika in bolognaise sauce over and above the usual for an interesting twist.
Ginger, garlic, chili, mustard seeds & coriander & cumin are a base for my Indian cooking
Rosemary, thyme, lemon ?, bay leaves for chicken/lamb
Yuuuuuum!
Moira Mc Allister

kamilah francis
August, 1, 2017I love the Paprika it adds so much flavour to my tomato stew!
Joande Fourie
August, 1, 2017I find this question impossible to answer. When I crave Indian food, it’s nigella, cardamom and fennel. When Italy calls to me it’s garlic, basil, fennel (again!). If Mexico is on my mind, it’s oregano and cilantro. And on and on it goes. Accept no substitutes. #nutreats #NOMU
Daniela Windisch
August, 1, 2017I cannot go a day without using turmeric. I use it on just about everything, from curries to stir-fries, and even in my overnight oats.

August, 1, 2017Defiantly the Indian Curry, I use it in most of meals especially during the cold, winter months, there is nothing nicer than a warm ‘not too hot’ hearty meal in the evenings. My ultimate favourite would have to be with chicken…..nom nom nom……curry chicken is the best……..it’s delicious 😀
Barry Washkansky

Megan Hartwig
August, 1, 2017Nutmeg, these days. I’ve been living on spinach from the green market, so I’ve been using quite a bit lately for that and also for the apple cakes and tarts I’ve been indulging in, with all the heirloom apples you can buy there too.

Jennifer Chunilall
August, 1, 2017I would use the Spanish smoked sweet paprika for most of my dishes because it is so versatile.
I would use it in my marinade when we braai. Use it for roast chicken with the cumin powder. Sprinkled on macaroni and cheese. Use it in my butter chicken. In my chicken stew and on my deeeeeelicious roast potatoes for my Sunday lunch. Yunmo….licious.. .. Nomu
Phillip Gibb
August, 1, 2017Coriander! Preferably fresh, on stir fry. Otherwise when a dry powder, I will always use it on chicken.
Olga Thangavay
August, 1, 2017Cinnamon is one of my favourite spices. I am able to create the most delicious healthy nutritious desserts, and comfort drinks that do nothing bad to the waistline yet taste yummy. It’s an added benefit that the health value in cinnamon is so high!
Dominica Bergman
August, 1, 2017Cinnamon. Good for cakes and desserts like milktart, sago pudding, potato pudding, bread and butter pudding, fritters, pancakes, flapjacks, waffles, cinnabons, biscuits, etc. Also good as a natural sweetener when you are trying to cut down on sugar. Combats nausea when you are pregnant. Can be used on grilled or stewed vegetables or fruits too. Simply delicious!
