My grandmother's name is Amaarech, which means "she became beautiful" in Amharic. She has taught me everything I know about Ethiopian cooking. She is the matriarch of our family and the inspiration behind the spice line. For as long as I can remember, Amaarech has prepared the spices I use in my cooking. All the Ethiopian dishes I share on Instagram are flavoured with her amazing blends.
I have always cooked Ethiopian food, no matter where I am in the world. I always manage with whatever local ingredients I find but the spices are irreplaceable. Amaarech knows this and therefore always makes sure I leave home with tonnes of spices in my suitcase.
