Six blends. One bench setup. Endless flavour wins.
Chef Ian has spent decades chasing the holy grail of home cooking: big flavour without big fuss. The Spice Lab Signature Collection brings that philosophy straight to your kitchen with six essential blends he reaches for constantly — created with the expertise of Cherie from Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice.
Each blend comes in freshness-sealed pouches to keep the spices vibrant and aromatic, ready to pour into your premium spice jar set (with matching benchtop tray). Beautifully organised, always within reach, and designed to make everyday cooking taste like you know what you’re doing.
Cook smarter. Season faster. Enjoy bigger flavour.
Picture this.
Midweek dinner. No time. No drama.
You season once, cook once, and suddenly the kitchen smells like you’ve been planning this meal all day.
That’s what this set is built for.
Moroccan Magic
Warm and aromatic — perfect for lamb, chicken, roasted veg and slow-cooked dishes.
Sea Spice
Citrus + herbs + brightness — brilliant on seafood, grilled prawns, barramundi, or roast potatoes.
Italian Classic
Your everyday “make it taste better” blend — pasta, pizza bases, roast veg, casseroles.
Pizza Spice
The ultimate pizza enhancer… and unreal on wedges, chips and cheese toasties.
All-American Rub
Smoky, bold, and balanced — ribs, wings, pulled pork, brisket, BBQ nights.
Greek Souvlaki Zest
Lemon, garlic and herbs — skewers, lamb, salads, roasted potatoes.
Clear glass-look jars with shaker lids, neatly stored in a benchtop tray for quick, tidy access.
To make this collection even more powerful, every set includes access to Chef Ian’s exclusive guide:
👉 Lets Talk - Herbs & Spices - Underground Chef Guide: Herbs & Spices – Don’t Be Afraid to Use Them
This isn’t just a spice set — it’s a complete flavour confidence system.
Inside this guide, Chef Ian shows you exactly:
• How much spice to use (and how to avoid overdoing it)
• When to cook spices in for depth vs finish for aroma
• How to rescue a dish if the seasoning goes too far
• How to store spices properly so they stay fresh and vibrant
• Simple, real-world meal ideas using each blend
As Chef Ian explains, most people aren’t bad at using spices — they’ve simply never been shown how. This guide fixes that, in plain English, using the Underground Chef “Pinch Rule” approach to building flavour confidently.
Most spice sets give you ingredients.
This one gives you understanding.
You’ll learn:
• Why fresh blends make all the difference
• How to build flavour without complicated recipes
• How to turn everyday ingredients into confident, flavour-packed meals
• How to stop buying spices you never use
As the guide explains, spices lose their flavour when exposed to heat, light, air, and moisture — which is why freshness-sealed pouches and proper storage make such a difference.
This collection solves that problem completely.
Picture this.
Dinner’s halfway done.
Pan warm. Oil shimmering.
You reach for your Spice Lab tray — everything organised, ready.
A pinch goes in.
Suddenly the kitchen smells alive.
Not complicated.
Not stressful.
Just confident cooking — the way it should be.
This is not six random spices.
These blends were designed to:
• Replace clutter with purpose-built flavour tools
• Remove guesswork
• Make everyday cooking faster and better
• Help you cook instinctively, not mechanically
As the guide explains, “You don’t need fancy technique. Just start with one pinch.”
Everyday home cooks • BBQ lovers • Housewarmings • Christmas gifting • Kitchen Confidence members • Anyone who wants instant flavour confidence
