The box obviously contains all of the herbs and spices needed for these recipes. The spices for the Hungarian Sweet Paprik\u00c3\u00a1s includes a large sachet of Hungarian Sweet Paprika and a sachet containing a blend of Hungarian hot paprika, bay leaf, toasted cracked caraway seeds and sweet paprika. There is also a sachet of potato herbs to go with it which is a blend of dill, chives and parsley. For the cake there are caraway and poppy seeds along with a sachet of spices blended from ground mace and vanilla powders.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a free sample of Christmas biscuits spices blended from ginger, cassia, mace, nutmeg, cloves, all spice and long pepper and a little leaflet with a few Christmas ideas too. I can&#8217;t wait to try them out, I just need to find the time to do it once we have an evening in and can enjoy the meal they create.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had an unusual birthday present from Pat this year, a 3 month subscription to thespicery.com.
