A Spice Adventure
Imp: \'imp\ (noun) a small demon; a mischievous child.
This store evolved out of a desire to communicate the sense of play that's possible in a kitchen, both through spices and through accessible recipes. Many people don't realize that excellent, complex cooking is -- with fresh, high quality herbs and spices -- within anyone's grasp. This store operates on the principle that anyone can cook well & provides many of the tools to do so.
At its best, cooking is a creative act that can use the beauty that nature offers to create food that not only looks and tastes wonderful, but nourishes and delights those we feed. Our food can care for the planet and its people, as well, so we buy organic and fairly traded whenever possible and always buy from companies that treat their workers and the planet with care.
