25.01.2022 Up super early and heading north tomorrow. The FRESHEST spices in town are BRAZENLY teaming up with the freshest markets in town. Going to be selling at Chipping Norton. Liverpool growers and foodie markets. They sell straight from the producer to the customer. Super fresh produce and yummy foods. It's a great market and well worth the visit. See ya there bright and early!... @liverpoolgrowersfoodiesmarket See more

24.01.2022 Thai Tom Kha soup. This soup is sublte and not hot. Flavours of galangal, ginger, and lemongrass. Literally a 10 minute easy peasy soup that tastes light, fresh and flavourful. ... Do the prep in the time it takes to bring a can of coconut cream and a half tin of stock to boil. While thats coming to the boil get your ingredients ready. I went with simple fresh herbs, mushrooms and tofu.. but thin slices of chicken or sliced prawns and fish work equally well. Prepare your noodles and place them in your bowl. When the coconut is boiling add in a little over a tablespoon of the tom kha blend.. add the chopped ingredients, bring back to the boil add fish sauce and lime juice, chilli to taste. Pour over noodles. Yummo! Available online (message me) or @mrsoldbuckspantry in Berrima.

24.01.2022 Introducing Brazen Thai Red Curry. This curry is big, bold, and creamy. Thai Red Curry has a great depth of flavour but is not a super hot curry. A complex curry that has many layers of flavour that ends in a rich, sweet and savory curry. ... Made from as much Australian content as Australia can provide. Handmade and fresh. Packed full of flavour with no fillers or unnecessary ingredients. Also, unlike most Thai curries, its vegan. Used a vegan alternative to the shrimp paste which is locally made and tastes Ah-amazing! Its dried so its concentrated so only one tablespoon is used in a curry for 4 serves. Available online. Not quite in the store yet but same price as the rest of the spice blends so just message and we can send it to you.

22.01.2022 Ever eaten a great Thai curry or soup and thought there is one flavour here I can't quite tie down to its source, it's yummy but what is it? The answer is probably this sexy beast right here.. Galangal. Not many western based shops sell it so unless your an asian store junkie like me you may have never come across this culinary treasure. I love it.... It is the cousin to the better known ginger and turmeric. Same family. And to make it more difficult there is greater galangal and lesser galangal. Most of the galangal sold in Australia is greater galangal. Ever so slightly similar but also totally different flavour to ginger and completely not interchangeable in recipes, in my opinion. Galangal is harder and woodier than ginger. Its a pale cream inside. Has a sharp citrusy almost piney scent. Its zingy, slightly pepper spicy, fragrant and herbal. It's the essential flavour in Thai Tom Kha soup, which is not surprising as the Thai word for greater galangal is kha. :) Tom Kha is a smooth, clean and subtle soup. All thanks to the flavours from this wonderful rhizome. I use it in all of the Thai blends and in the Vietnamese soup blend as well as Ras el Hanout. Have I said its one of my happy spices.. I just love this stuff.. wish you could smell it. Look out for it when your shopping and take home some to experience its wonderful smell when cut, just be super careful cutting it.. can be a bit tricky to slice safely. Anyway that's galangal. I've gotta go chop. :)

21.01.2022 Catch me tomorrow at Bundanoon markets. Currently blending up all of the blends ready for you tomorrow. Pop in and explore this lovely market and Bundanoon. ... Have a chat and buy some spice so you can have a flavoursome sunday meal with minimal fuss. A little Brazen in the kitchen helps take the stress out of cooking fantastic meals.

17.01.2022 Drying 2kg of onions and garlic.. Can't say it's one of my favourite things to dry.. when i walked in this arvo after they'd been drying all day my eyes watered hehehe the things I endure so what you purchase is the best I can make. Also here's a free pro tip.. don't chop and mince 2kg of garlic cloves before your 9 to 5 day job.. people look at you strange wondering why you are so pungent at 8am.. eeek.. ahh well shoulda chopped the parsley instead. Off to chop the 24 bunches of parsley, 10 bunches of spring onion, 5kg of red capsicum and 12 bunches of garlic chives before RFS training tonight.. hopefully the garlic has receeeded by then. :)

17.01.2022 Brazen is spicing up the Exeter markets this Saturday.. ohh yeah..thats tomorrow. :) Hope to see you there. Going to be a great day for being out and about.. after the lovely stay indoors weather we had ladt weekend.

12.01.2022 The locals know where the good stuff is

12.01.2022 Repost @bundanoonmakersmarket Come and shop at delightful Bundanoon tomorrow. Markets are at the public school. Heaps of great stalls both old and new. Brazen will be there with all of your favourites and some new soon to be favourites. See you there. Weather is gong to be amazing.

12.01.2022 Bundanoon Market tomorrow. Looks like a bit of weather but that shouldn't deter you.. these are all undercover.. and it is the highlands after all...its meant to be moist up here.. hehehe.. Won't find any fresher spice blends. All the Thai blends are in the dryer right now and as they do their thing I'm making the rest.. 20 to go.. but who's counting Brazen Spices..like having a chef in the kitchen without the stress and mess. :) @bundanoonmakersmarket

11.01.2022 Parsley! So much nicer than garlic. Ahh don't get me wrong I love eating garlic and its wonderful flavour.. Its a green oasis in the dryers tonight. Parsley, like coriander, gets seperated into stems and leaves. Each has a slightly different flavour so each gets used differently. Some blends need the stem, some leaf, some both. ... B.T.W. ... I wasn't bansished from the fire shed last night.. passed the sniff test.. thanks to covid distancing See more

10.01.2022 All set up at Bundanoon Makers Market @bundanoonmakersmarket @bundanoon_nsw A great day out for fathers day. Abeautiful spring day in the highlands.

09.01.2022 Back at Bundanoon makers markets tomorrow. Busy night ahead blending. Hope to see you there

08.01.2022 THAI TOM YUM SOUP Amazing flavour packed into this blend on so many levels. Hot, sour and totally delicious. Its vegan and gluten free so you can make it up how you prefer. Add less to your broth if you want to tame the heat a little. Perfect for that quick but delicious meal when you've not got the time or the motivation to make something that will take more than 10min. Seriously this is just bring everything to the boil and your done. ... No need to compromise flavour for ease of making. Brazen has your back here.. fresh, intense, blends that mean cooking gourmet meals can be made in a flash. Buy some online or @mrsoldbuckspantry. You won't regret it. See more

04.01.2022 Ras el Hanout. Made a batch this morning... thought I'd share. The most complex blend I make. It's a joy of a spice blend. A true mastery of blending to get all of these individual flavours balanced and working together in harmony. My little pot of golden hued joy. Can you guess the ingredients? ... Answers are on the last picture.. oops spot the two I forgot to layout for the photoshoot. First to name them gets a free pouch. See more
