Sometimes the best souvenir from a trip is cooked in your own kitchen. Walk into The Spice House, tucked into an 1858 historic building since 1992, and you’re immediately engulfed in scents such as Maharajah-style curry powder or California dehydrated sweet basil. A small selection of organic spices and molecular gastronomy ingredients are available, plus themed gift-boxes (Old Town Chicago is a top seller). Whether it’s savory or sweet accents you’re after, this shop has you covered.
