Event details

Join food historian and flavour expert Priya Mani, founder of Copenhagen's Appetite Studio, alongside Fortnum & Mason's archivist Louise Woof for an evening exploring the world's most captivating spices. Priya's research-driven approach to ingredients and culinary culture takes centre stage as she discusses her new book Spiced, published by Phaidon.

Travel globally through the history, origins and cultural impact of spices—from cardamom and turmeric to grains of paradise and nutmeg. The evening blends recipes, historical insight and practical culinary guidance, perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of flavour and bring new dimensions to their cooking.

An evening of conversation and discovery at Fortnum & Mason's Book Shop on the 3rd Floor, 181 Piccadilly, London.
