How many different dinners did you cook last month?
Count them.

Most families land on six to eight, the same ones on repeat. Nobody chose that. It just happened. Mac, who trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, shows you a new weeknight dinner every week, and the skill behind it, so the list keeps growing.

See the dinners

The 6pm fridge stare.

You open the fridge and you already know what's coming. The same chicken dish, the same pasta, the same curry as last week. It isn't that you can't cook. Nobody ever showed you how to cook something new on a Tuesday that you'd actually trust.

So the list shrinks. By week four of the same eight dinners, the takeaway starts to look like the easy option. Nobody chose this. It just happened.

One new dinner a week breaks it. 45+ are already filmed and waiting. Add a new one every week for a year and you'll have close to 100 dinners to choose from, not six or eight.

Why it sticks

Learn the skills behind the dinners.

This isn't two or three tricks. Over a year of lessons, Mac teaches you everything he does without thinking about it anymore — the lot. Learn each one once, and it's yours for good. A few examples of what's in there: the moment to add garlic before it turns bitter, why the pan matters more than the recipe, building a sauce base the easy way, and resting meat properly instead of straight to the plate.

What's included

Everything you get, from day one

Four hand-blended spice pouches

Every month, four 50g pouches — £19.80, posted straight to your door — matched to that month's four new recipes. Each pouch makes five family-sized dinners, so that's 20 family meals, or just 99p per family meal.

A new video recipe, every week

Ready in 30–40 min, from a chef who trained and worked in Michelin-starred kitchens. Most families cook the same six to eight meals for years without meaning to — this breaks that pattern every single week.

One real technique, every week

Real tricks from Mac's 30+ years in professional kitchens: fresh 2-minute mayonnaise, blooming spices to extract the most flavour, and fixing a broken sauce in seconds. Taught once, yours for good.

The full library, from day one

25+ lessons and 45+ recipes are already in the library, unlocked the day you join and not drip-fed, with a new dinner and skill added every week.

You're not just watching — you're part of it

Seven of my eight dinners came out of a jar or a packet.

I'm David. I run Spice Masters with Mac, and this is why we built these lessons.

I grew up in a house where you cooked from scratch. My parents had an allotment, and when my wife and I got our first home I carried on cooking most nights. Properly, I thought. Then I looked at the dinners I actually cooked on repeat. Seven of the eight got their flavour from a jar or a packet. I was cooking, but somebody else had made the part that makes it taste of something.

What changed it was Chinese and Indian food. We loved them, takeaway was part of our week, and I wanted to make them at home. Egg fried rice was the first dish I really nailed. After that I swapped the jars for the real thing one dinner at a time, over years.

Mac and I met on the side of a football pitch, watching our sons play for the same team. He's a trained chef who knows how to blend spices properly, and we stood in a school car park tasting blends off a spoon. That's how Spice Masters started.

Learning to cook was never really the point for me. The point is helping other people do it. Most of us were never shown how to make the flavour ourselves, and Mac can show you. That's why we film a new dinner every week.

And here's what I wish someone had told me back then.

Why from scratch

A jar can't teach you to cook.

You've probably started checking labels, and you may have noticed how much salt and sugar hides in things you'd never guess. A jar or a packet mix isn't the same as cooking from scratch, but nobody showed you the two or three things that make the difference.

Now you can learn them, and every pouch is spices and herbs, nothing else.

  • I made my usual Mexican Chilli Chicken recipe, but instead of every individual spice, I used Spice Masters blend. It transformed the dish.

    — Miss S Ingham, Mexican Chilli Chicken blend

  • This spice mix is absolutely delicious. I use it as a rice seasoning — it packs a punch, so a little goes a long way.

    — Ms Shay, Japanese 7 Togarashi Spice

  • Really love this spice. Bought two lots of it now — adds a greater depth of flavour to home-made Moroccan couscous.

Questions

Before you join

What if I want to cancel my annual membership?

You've got a full 30 days to try it. If it's not for you, tell us within 30 days of joining and we'll refund you in full. After that, your annual membership runs for the year — your blends are already being made and posted for you each month.

Can I cancel my monthly membership?

Yes, any time. There's no minimum term — cancel whenever suits you, and it takes effect before your next payment.

Can I pause or skip a month?

Not on the annual plan — it runs as one continuous year, with your four blends and new lesson posted every month. If you'd rather have that flexibility, the monthly plan can be cancelled any time you like.

How much spice do I actually get?

Four pouches a month, 50g each. That's enough for five meals for a family of four or five — twenty family meals' worth of spice, every month.

What's actually in a weekly lesson?

One real skill, taught properly — sometimes a technique like blooming spices or building a sauce, sometimes something like making flatbreads from scratch. Always something you'll use again and again, not a one-off trick.

How does the weekly recipe work?

Every week's recipe is built around one of that month's four spice blends, so nothing you're sent goes to waste. All designed to be quick, proper midweek meals — nothing that needs a free evening to attempt.

Is there anyone to ask if I get stuck?

Yes — a free community for asking questions, plus you can ask privately against any lesson if something's not working out in your kitchen.

What do I get access to the day I join?

Every lesson and recipe filmed so far, unlocked instantly — plus this month's four spice pouches and recipe, on the same schedule as everyone else.

Do I get anything to print or keep, beyond the video?

Yes — every lesson comes with a downloadable cheat sheet and the full written recipe, so you're not trying to remember it from a video with flour on your hands.
