Jennifer English, a.k.a. Mrs. Spices, a James Beard Award winner on the Food and Wine Radio Network, host of KVOI’s “Sunday Brunch” radio show, and KVOA TV4 Fresh@4 Food Contributor is an owner of Flavorbank.com Spice Market. Mrs. Spices will be joining her friend Mrs. Green to lead a voyage in search of flavor. Ancient explorers, in search of spices, took to the high seas. Mrs. Spices will channel those spice route adventures in a series of exciting, fragrant, delicious, exotic and intensely interesting tasting sessions.

The most powerful session is the "Culinary Apothecary" tasting in which the incredible, proven healing benefits of the spice cabinet can transform the flavor and healthfulness of the foods we eat every day. According to Jennifer, "you can eat yourself healthier." Learn the secrets of cinnamon, turmeric and more while you create your own signature blends to bring new meaning to the words "season to taste" designed to fit your palate.
