Website Face-Lift this Spring!

We have loved our trusty website since its launch in 2006, and are proud of its staying power; that's a long time in Internet years. But its time to come together with our creative and technical partners to give it a face-lift. Our plan is to keep all the smooth and easy functionality, great pictures and content and give you more. More ways to shop and search, more ease for mobile users and an integrated blog and recipe database to keep all the World Spice 411 in the same place. Have a feature you'd like to see stay or go? Please let us know at websuggestions@worldspice.com. We'd love to hear from you... and look for our new site live in May!

Summer Flash-Classes

You asked for it - and you've got it! We've had loads of requests for basic spice classes and demos, so we'll be hosting a summer series of Flash-Classes beginning in June. A fast, fun and somewhat spontaneous offering on topics ranging from toasting to grinding, blending and storing spices. Stay tuned to the newsletter, or our Facebook page, to see the final listings unveiled and come on down to the store this summer to see us in action.

New Blends for 2014

Yes, we are at it again, and we'll be launching several new blends throughout the year, including Shawarma Spice, Korean BBQ and Indonesian Ayam to name a few. Our recipe and taste testers are already hard at work and we may have a few more surprises up our sleeve as the year unfolds.

World Spice at Home this Fall

World Spice at Home - New Flavors for Favorite Dishes is a cookbook collaboration between World Spice owner Amanda Bevill and cookbook author Julie Kramis-Hearne. Julie and Amanda have been cooking like crazy for the last two years to bring you this inspired work. They selected twelve of their favorite exotic blends and set out to see just how many different ways they could use them, and the results were spectacular! World Spice at Home will be on the shelf nation-wide September 30th! We'll be whooping it up to celebrate this one!
