Curio Spice Co. Hosts Virtual Sour Spice Sensory Class

Do you enjoy cooking but still find yourself a bit overwhelmed with how to use spices? Do you want to know how to use spices more intuitively, especially with the seasons?

Join the Lab @ Curio Spice Company's virtual community for our best-selling sensory class. Build on the foundation of our introductory classes to boost your confidence in the kitchen and help you use spices to their full potential.

Make your spring cooking pop! In this class you’ll learn about why sour spices are crucial to balance the flavor of a dish, which spices exhibit sourness, and how best to use them to bring out flavor (even of leftovers!). We’ll start with an overview of your sour spice toolkit – spices you can look to for punching up flavor. Then we’ll explore a few sour power houses, such as sumac.

We’ll then explore citrusy spice elements and make coriander encrusted tofu with a makrut lime oil. Lastly, Claire will show you how to make your own chaat masala, a popular Indian spice mix featuring green mango powder, that you can buy pre-made but is fun to make yourself, and even more fun to add to dressings, roasted veggies and popcorn.

Signing up for this class enters you to win a gift card to Curio!

To participate hands-on during this class, you will need sumac, makrut lime leaf, whole coriander, ground ginger, ground amchoor, kala namak (black salt), ground cumin, ground white pepper, and cayenne.
