About Us
Visit Spice by Blake to explore the fascinating history and stories behind the Spice Route. As Chef Blake Thornley puts it, spices shaped the world even before the World Wars. And with Indonesia being one of the richest countries when it comes to the diversity and production of spices, its culinary culture deserves to be spotlighted and celebrated.
