Before Herbie's Spices was a household name, Ian Hemphill was just a kid growing up in a herb nursery where his mother Rosemary published Australia’s first book on herbs and spices, gaining him the nickname Herbie.

He went on to become one of Australia's leading experts in herbs and spices, attending the first international spice group meeting in New Delhi in 1986 before walking away from a corporate career to build Herbies Spices from a converted terrace house in Rozelle in 1997.

Nearly three decades later the brand is one of Australia's most trusted names in the industry, built on 120 handcrafted spice blends, zero outsourcing, an 800 page Spice and Herb Bible now in its third edition, and a philosophy that quality is non-negotiable even if it means going out of stock.

In this episode Ian joins Tawnya Bahr to talk about a lifelong obsession that never feels like work, the herbs and spices you've never heard of but should have and why Australian chefs are chronically under-seasoning.
