The Spice Tailor

The Spice Tailor at Village Food Markets Sooke

Inspired by Asian and Indian cuisine, The Spice Tailor sauce kits make it fun, easy, and fast to cook delicious meals with international flavours at home.

Ideal with chicken, pork, beef, tofu, or vegetables, and served with rice, noodles, or in wraps, it’s dinner for 2 in 10 minutes in 3 easy steps.

Simply sizzle the whole spices in your pan until fragrant. Add the base sauce from the small pouch and stir in your meat or veg. And finally, add the main sauce from the large pouch and simmer until cooked through.

Tailor it to your taste.

You can use the kits to make a variety of delicious meals, but still customize them to your preference. For example, most kits come with a whole dried chilli. If you don’t like heat, leave it out. Or, if you want to make your dish extra spicy, grind it and sprinkle it into the sauce while cooking.

You can find a selection of kits in aisle 4:
  • Korean Style BBQ
    A savoury-sweet mix with hints of pear, fermented white miso, sesame, and red chilli.
  • Vietnamese Style Curry
    A mild blend of coconut milk, lemongrass, sweet potato, and tamarind, with a small spice pouch for added heat.
  • Indonesian Peanut Satay (Mild)
    A harmony of nutty textures and flavours, all balanced with spices and a little coconut cream. The flavours are heightened by the tang of tamarind and citrus notes from lemongrass and makrut lime leaves.
  • Japanese Style Teriyaki
    A silky, rich and complex savoury-sweet Japanese-style sauce with the deep, umami flavour of soy and black vinegar, liquorice notes of fennel and star anise, aromatic warmth of clove and cinnamon, and toasty notes of sesame.
