Routes Spice Co.
In summer 2025, globe-trotting British Chef Adam Gaunt-Evans and his family launched their exciting new brand 'Routes Spice Co.' with the vision of bringing a world of flavours to your kitchen!
Launching with a series of pop-up events throughout 2025/26, development is currently underway for their range of authentic recipes from around the traditional spice route, set to launch later in 2026 through selected shops and e-commerce.
Adam explains his vision below.
''The idea of Routes has been bubbling away in my mind for years. As a chef, working across the Middle East, South & South-east Asia and Australia opened my eyes and palette to a world of new exciting flavours.
Routes celebrates all that is delicious from our travels as we continue to delve into different cultures discovering new recipes. Our spice packets are always authentic, made with the best ethically sourced spices, yet we have designed our recipes to be convenient and straightforward enough to cook at home with a handful of fresh ingredients''
Adam explains how Routes has become an extension of his own family and how they like to eat:
''We are a foodie family with British and Sri Lankan heritage. We love to travel and eat good food.
For us, it has become an important ritual to cook a fresh healthy meal and sit down to eat as a family every night. Having pre-blended measured spice recipes makes a world of interesting dishes quick and accessible with just a few fresh ingredients. This philosophy of quick, simple and delicious is what we plan to share with our followers''
A family business
''Routes is a combination of our skill sets: i'm the chef and recipe developer drawing on 30 years professional kitchen experience and a passion for authentic food and travel. My wife Dili brings years of retail experience and sourcing of products from her native Sri Lanka. She also keeps my recipes in check. Our son Alfie is a talented artist and has brought his creative flair to the branding. He also brings the palette of a foodie teenager to the table. Alfie features in our cooking videos showing how easy they are to put together for a home cook, and brings energetic youth to the brand. Finally, our youngest family member Isaac is chief taster - we look forward to seeing what he brings to the fold over the next few years''
As well as Routes Spices, the brand brings pop-up and private events, engaging world food
