Chef's Notes
Berbere is the beating heart of East African cuisine. Treat these spices with absolute respect, and they will reward you with a symphony of complex heat and warmth that store-bought blends simply cannot touch.
Pro Tip
Always use a dedicated spice grinder if you are grinding whole seeds, otherwise your morning coffee might taste suspiciously like a fiery stew!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Inhaling deeply directly over the bowl while dumping a cup of pure red chili powder, resulting in an apocalyptic sneezing fit that coats your entire kitchen in fiery dust.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
