Frequently Asked Questions

Are your spice kits and curry spice pots vegan friendly? Are they gluten free?

Yes. We don’t make any specific health claims about our products but we only use good quality spices and herbs in our kits and pots so all the blends themselves are vegan friendly and gluten-free. If the recipe is also completely vegan, we indicate this clearly on the product label.

How long do the meals take to prepare?
Each recipe is different so we’ve clearly marked the prep and cooking times on the front of each packet. Each meal does take a bit of time to create though because we want you to enjoy the cooking process as much as you enjoy the actual eating!
I’ve lost my recipe card. Can I get a replacement?

Of course. Just let us know which spice kit or curry pot you have and we’ll email you a digital copy. If you have lost the recipe card for your mini jar, you can download a replacement straight from the respective product page here on the site.

How do the curry spice pots work?
You use the spices in your pot to make up a fresh curry paste (you can do this in advance of actually cooking your curry). You then use the paste to form the base of your curry sauce. Each pot comes with simple printed instructions for both the paste and the sauce.
Are your products organic?
We use organic materials wherever possible.
Will I need lots of expensive ingredients to make up the meals?
No, definitely not. You may even find that you already have the majority of them in your fridge or kitchen cupboard. We try to ensure that our recipes only use ingredients that are easy to find and affordable. We know all too well how frustrating it can be when your local supermarket doesn’t stock the ingredients you need for a recipe – we don’t all live in major cities! Wherever possible, we also try to ensure that our recipes only ask for full can or pack sizes so that wastage is kept to a minimum. We always find it extremely annoying when we have to buy a 500ml bottle for just 10ml to add to a recipe.
Do I need any special equipment to make your meals?
No! We have tried to keep the kitchen equipment we use to an absolute minimum. We’ve even included alternative measurements so that you can still make the dish if you don’t have a set of scales to hand. That means you can even take your spice kits camping!
Is your packaging recyclable?
Yes. Everything we currently use is recyclable and our refill packs are supplied in fully-degradable bags. In an ideal world, all of our packaging would be home-compostable but we have not yet been able to find a solution that also protects our products adequately so that we do not have to drastically shorten the shelf-life and increase wastage unnecessarily by doing so. We will keep looking until we find one!
Where can I buy your products?

On this website and via selected other sites, including thefoodmarket.com and Melted Inside. You’ll also regularly find us at food fairs and shows across the UK: see our events page for latest details.

Do you deliver outside of the UK?
No. At the moment, we only deliver to the UK mainland.
Will my order fit through the letterbox?

An individual spice kit and our curry spice refill packs will fit through a standard letterbox. We also have two different taster mailer packs (for our spice kits and curry spice pots) and these have been designed to fit easily through a standard letterbox. 

How quickly will I receive my order?

We aim to despatch all our orders by the next working day at the latest. If you order on a Friday afternoon, your order will be posted out the following Monday. We send by Royal Mail 2nd Class. If your delivery is urgent or has a particular deadline, please email us at sales@caseforcooking.co.uk and we’ll do what we can to help.
