Add a little SPICE to your Valentines Day

We'd all love to SPICE UP our relationship just a little...you don't always need Mr.Gray to do it.

A great way to your better half's heart is to spice it up in the kitchen. How about attempting a new light authentic Indian dish this Valentines Day. Normally I'd back away from  this sort of complex cuisine, but I was introduced to Kitchen Curry Master kit and I can feel confident I can serve  up a wonderful dish.

This is a “sponsored post.” The company who sponsored it compensated me via , gift to write it. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

The presentation of the box is gorgeous filled with 12 essential spices that make up the foundation for Indian cooking.There is an accompanying cookbook that is bursting with vegetarian, meat, and seafood recipes. I love that each recipe has a video online as well.

The recipes have been developed by Neena Patel Williams  a home cook who grew up helping in her family's Indian restaurant in London.Each recipe has a shopping list, and what spices will be needed from the kit. There are simple prep steps and easy cooking instructions. The back has a super spice guide!! Believe me this is a simple way to unlock a whole new world and it couldn't be any easier!!

You can purchase at kitchencurrymaster.com, Amazon , or Etsy.com and just under $60 this will be a great investment. It also makes a wonderful housewarming, wedding or any occasion gift.

So how do you plan on SPICING up you Valentines Day?!?!!?
