HMAA Webinar: Spices: the plants that changed the world

Join spice expert and author Ian ‘Herbie’ Hemphill as he shares his obsession with spices, nature’s key elements in an exotic world of flavours in a free webinar for HMAA members.

Attendees will learn just what defines spices, their origins, and how they are processed and traded. Herbie will de-mystify their flavours, identify important quality indicators, explain optimum storage conditions, and debunk a few popular myths widely promulgated by the media and unscrupulous spice traders. This session will be peppered with interesting anecdotes Ian has gathered on his many trips to exotic climes in search of spices and their origins.

Herbie’s book The Spice & Herb Bible, is now in its third edition.

Date and time: Friday, November 28 at 12 noon (AEDT), 11am (QLD), 11.30am (SA), 9am (WA).
