Crafting Magnolia Spice: A Floral Delight for our Kitchen
In our exploration of natural ingredients, we've transformed magnolia blossoms into a unique spice powder, perfect for enhancing dishes typically seasoned with cinnamon, cardamom, clove, or ginger. Using two methods—oven roasting for deeper, cardamom-like notes, and air drying for a lighter, citrusy essence—we convert the fragrant petals into culinary delights.
Mushroom ‘spice’ powder
Our homemade mushroom powder is more than just a spice; it's a sprinkle of forest magic. Ground from mushrooms we've carefully dried ourselves, this umami powerhouse transforms pasta, elevates stews, and even makes a mean mushroom sauce.

Experience the vibrancy of mints, lemon balm, thyme, and oregano at the peak of their readiness, and learn the delicate art of drying that not only preserves their essence but also enhances their flavor. As these herbs sway from our chandelier, they fill our home with fragrant whispers of the summer that's been, and the cozy autumn meals that lie ahead
