Welcome to SpiceTraveller, an online culinary portal that celebrates and explores the diverse and delicious flavours of the world cuisine. It is a journey that takes you on a global tour of flavours, from exotic and ancient recipes, local delicacies to modern and innovative culinary creations worldwide.
Whether you’re searching for comfort food classics, exotic cuisine from distant lands, or something in between, rest assured that I’ve got you covered. I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting recipes to add to the SpiceTraveller collection, and I take great care to ensure that the website is updated regularly with delicious content.
I have a rather large collection of interesting recipes from around the world that I have researched and prepared during the past 10 years. All the recipes are selected from diverse sources, including family heirlooms, vintage cookbooks, online forums from various countries, and my own creations. I enjoy experimenting by blending different cuisines to create fusion delicacies and innovative dishes.

The Name

The name SpiceTraveller is inspired by one of my favourite books, the greatest science fiction: Frank Herbert’s Dune. In this epic tale, spice is a rare and highly sought-after commodity that allows space travellers to navigate the Universe through folds in time and space. Drawing on this rich literary tradition, SpiceTraveller is a website that combines the love for cooking and travel, spotlighting the diverse array of spices and seasonings from various countries. Spices are the essence of seasoning, the art of transforming raw ingredients into a delicious creation.
SpiceTraveller offers a journey without moving, a chance to explore new flavours and cultures from the comfort of your own kitchen. And with a focus on local and lesser-known delicacies, there’s always something new and exciting to discover.

Food is a reflection of culture, history, and geography. It is a manifestation of our shared humanity, a bridge between past and present, and a testament to our enduring creativity and ingenuity. This website is a tribute to the richness and diversity of global cuisine, from the most humble and rustic home-cooked meals to the most elaborate and sophisticated gourmet feasts.

World cuisine invites us to break free from our comfort zones, to be curious and embrace the unknown. It is in these moments that we discover new flavours, new cultures, and new aspects of ourselves.
