You can support local makers and get an ace Christmas gift at the same time with this limited edition bundle by local food quarterly magazine Seasonings. In the past year, the two-women team behind Seasonings has put out three magazines celebrating festivals celebrated in Singapore like Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hungry Ghost Month and Deepavali – and for Christmas, they've decided to work with their collaborators for a gift bundle.
True to the Singaporean tastebuds, the main highlight of the bundle is spice. Choose from three seasonings – pun intended – concocted and created by three former contributors of the magazine. Elevate your homemade satay with Nor Hadayah of The Soulful Cook's heritage recipe which is inspired by late dad's spice rub. Nor added her own spin to it with nutmeg, anise, black pepper & chilli powder – and it's perfect for all types of meat, seafood and even vegetables.
Another option comes from Firdaus Sani of Orang Laut SG who is sharing his family's recipe for fish seasoning. The multipurpose spice mix contains turmeric, garlic, ginger and chilli and a 15-minute marinade is all you need for your fish.
Finally to switch (and sweeten) it up, is granola seasoning by Maya and Mili Kale, the founders of wellness and supplement platform, Moom. The brand is all about Ayurveda-influenced wellness, and the mix contains ashwagandha to reduce stress and anxiety and lower cortisol.
All the spices are also meticulously put together by Jeya Seelan of Jeya Spices. Complete your bundle by picking a spice mix of your choice, an edition of Seasonings magazines full of stories that celebrate the power of how food brings us together. Each bundle is unique as it is wrapped by repurposed beautiful and vibrant block-printed cloth from sustainable local label Wray Crafted. Order your bundle of joy now – each priced at $55 – at seasoningsmag.com/Christmas-Bundle!
