They are our secret ambassadors. For many millennia they have carried the message of our land throughout the world. These skilled ambassadors have worked their magic in subtle, undercover, ways winning friends and influencing people when they are most open to suggestion, through their most essential of enjoyments. Historically, mankind called on them to celebrate victories, enhance their myriad faiths in raptures of holy smoke, even to enter the bridal chamber and bring fragrance and flavours to the start of a life-long relationship. But these secret ambassadors have not always been gentle and humane. When the need arose to act with decisiveness, they stepped in and tilted the balance. More than the legendary beauty of Helen of Troy, they launched a thousand ships, created the world’s greatest empire, discovered a New World, and, following the charge of a mutant called CTM, breached the established bastions of British tradition. And that, as any hardworking plenipotentiary will tell you, is the most difficult, the most jaw-breaking, of all diplomatic assignments. Who, then, are these all-pervasive undercover agents who have l ways relied on their special 007 License to Thrill? Now that we have marinated you, read on Welcome to the secret world of spices….*

Hugh Gantzer

Hugh and Colleen Gantzer are renowned as India's pioneering travel writers. Their journeys across the sub-continent have exposed them to a rich tapestry of cultural influences, further enriched by their own Anglo-Indian heritage. Their extensive culinary experiences stem from being part of an Indian Naval family for many years. Together as a team, they have garnered numerous awards and recognition for their exceptional work in bridging the gap between the world and India. When not exploring new destinations, the Gantzers have made their home in a charming Victorian cottage nestled in the oak woods of the Himalayas. Their spirit of adventure remains unwavering, much like the questing bear in the old song, ever eager to discover what lies on the other side of the mountain.
