SpiceNtice also have a poignant back story
Back in 1994 when founder, Ketan Varu, was at university, his mum sent him recipes and spices to make real Indian curries that would remind him of home. Pretty soon all his friends were hooked and the idea for Spicentice was born.
All these years later Spicentice is very much a family business with mum, Manjula, and dad, Ramnik, still making sure Ketan still eats a good lunch, and the range has grown to include Indian, Thai, Mexican, Portuguese, Cajun, Jamaican and Moroccan spice kits, along with handy tubs of herb & spice rubs.
Spicentice stands out from the crowd because of its commitment to traditional recipes that have been perfected over generations, with 100% pure herbs & spices, no waste and absolutely no additives! Ketan now has a young family of his own and continues the tradition of cooking and sharing meals with family and friends.
Based in Leicester, the spice capital of the UK, Spicentice prepare and dispatch all their products from their factory. In fact, they are reluctant to call it a factory – as it is more of a large industrious kitchen full of great staff and family all pulling together to make Spicentice special. As a hands on family run business, they love to pay attention to detail, and stay with their ethic of pure traditional food, but with clever creative packaging, for ease of preparation. Which is why they have achieved BRC Accreditation at the highest level since 2013.

There comes a time, let’s say, post thirty-five, when age – quite unexpectedly – starts to define us. For women, it’s all about society’s primal assumptions. The world assumes us ‘fertile’ up until our mid-thirties. Even though 99.9 per cent of those we come into contact with will not want to breed with us, our ‘worth’ sublimely starts to diminish as we speed towards our forties. The great novelists and playrights spoke of it all the time – the slow fading of a woman’s power and allure – Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Austen. I love them all but will I accept the fate they speak of?
Absolutely not.
For many modern women, becoming ‘ageless’ is not about vanity or chasing prescribed beauty; it’s simply about wanting to recognise the face that greets us in the mirror every morning. It’s about the easy confidence that comes with feeling comfortable in our own skin. It’s about being unafraid to start a new career at sixty; run a marathon at fifty; find love at seventy.
As we get older, the pieces invariably start to fall into place. We learn more about who we are; how we want to live our lives. Experience offers new wisdom, understanding and opportunity. Many of us begin to feel as though we’re ‘only just setting out’ on our true paths as we approach middle age and beyond. What a tragedy, then, that society is as judgemental of post-30 women as it ever was. The menopause has been utterly demonised; any form of cosmetic surgery is frowned upon ‘Why can’t she grow old gracefully?’; and woe betide the woman who falls in love with a much younger partner ‘He’ll leave her as soon as he wants babies.’
The harsh truth is, women do this to themselves. We are our own gender’s harshest critics. In a society where well-known, older women are fair game for ruthless paparazzi and everyone is open to the taunts of online trolls, is it any wonder we find it so hard to feel at ease with ourselves and our choices as we grow older?
A wise woman allows no-one to distinguish her flame. She refuses to perpetrate stereotypes and treats herself and all those around her as ‘ageless’. In our dreams, our souls never grow older – live your life that way and you might just find the ageing process reversing itself!
