And best of all, you’ll go home with your very own FinaMill spice grinder to continue your spice exploration at home!**PLEASE NOTE:Due to the nature of this event, we cannot issue a refund for any reason, including illnesses or otherwise.

Recent reviews of Spice Skills Class with FinaMill - FREE Gift
- 5/5 from Farrah Juniper, attended Sep 2026: My friend and I took this class and loved it! I'm excited to use my FinaMill for so many things.
- 4/5 from Deborah Smith, attended Sep 2026: Learned a lot but hoped to learn more about combinations that spices pull together and enhance. This was limited
- 4/5 from Dana Greenwood, attended Sep 2026: The class wasn’t what I thought it would be. I was hoping for more recipes or flavor combinations. A curry, harissa, or Mexican spice combo’s would have been nice. As it is I will probably just use it for steak seasoning and fresh pepper, and continue cooking with just salt and pepper.
- 3/5 from Barbara Ollivier, attended Sep 2026: The class ended up being kind of disorganized and hard to follow. I was hoping to learn about how different spices work together to create unique flavors or how to use different combinations of spices on different dishes. That's not what happened. In all honesty, I was kind of disappointed. He passed around many different spice samples, and they were going two different directions around the table, none of us had enough crackers or mousse, all of us were constantly asking for refills to keep up. By the time I got the spice sample he spoke about 10 minutes earlier I had forgotten what he said about it. He sent around seven different samples of peppers, two of which were very exotic and hard to find. So then why show them in the class? The other thing that I found frustrating as there was a packet of papers with more in-depth information on spices. However, there was not one packet for each person. Rather there were two or three for the entire group. And the packet was several pages long; way too long to read and remember. A couple of people asked if the info could be emailed to the group and the lady that was taking notes on the computer said she would do that. But I never received anything. I am not sure why you would set out three or four copies of information for a class of 10 or 12 people. Bring enough for everyone or don't bother.
- 3/5 from Lois Wakelin, attended Sep 2026: I was looking forward to truly expanding my knowledge. While the spice tasting was fun, its chaotic delivery interfered with listening to the very knowledgeable speaker and also broke his delivery rythem.
