AUTUMN - A GENTLER KINDER SEASON BECKONS

A warm hello to you, wherever you are across Australia! It’s been quite a while since I had the opportunity to get back into the kitchen, the one place I feel most at home no matter where I find myself.

As many of you are aware from occasional updates across my socials, I’ve had quite the year. From getting married rather unexpectedly, to a much-needed total knee replacement in July 2024, life hasn’t been dull. But with all its challenges and mayhem it has thrown several curveballs which thankfully I have managed to ride out.

However, this has necessitated a change in my priorities. So as of this month, our North Perth café is in new hands with a Marathi family eager to introduce their own brand of exotic spicy flavours. I very much hope you will all support this family as they embark on their own spice journey in North Perth.

What else is brewing at Latasha’s Kitchen?

This Autumn if it’s effortless warmth you’re looking for, our cult following life changing Turmeric Spice Magic is the answer. You won’t believe how many ways you can incorporate it into your dishes! It’s good for you, it’s beautifully fragrant and it adds tons of flavour with just a simple spoonful.

Our fabulous Low FODMAP Simmer Sauces, made with all-natural ingredients and rich in consistency will make meal prep a breeze.  The deep depth in flavour is found in all Latasha’s Kitchen range which are painstakingly made with no fillers, no preservatives and no ‘junk’, just honest-to-goodness, market-fresh ingredients you’ll be proud to serve to your family and friends. These products are filled with the same natural ingredients found in home kitchens across India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia Singapore and Thailand.

By now most of you will appreciate that what will never change at Latasha’s Kitchen is the quality and that is what we’re still serving up today in 2025. The same premium products we first bottled up in 2009 from our humble Leederville restaurant/pantry/cooking studio that our customers have come to know, love and continue to strongly support. Our heartfelt passion and true dedication to quality goes into every bottle or jar of concentrated Indian curry paste, Southeast Asian curry paste, condiment, chutney, dressing, and relish.

When you buy from Latasha’s Kitchen, you buy into a proud Australian story. Owner Latasha Menon has spent more than two decades selling food through restaurant cooking, catering, teaching and recipe development. As food and health trends have emerged, she has joyfully stepped up to the stove and created products to suit. The range is nutritious, gluten free and wheat free. It’s mostly vegetarian with almost half of the range naturally vegan. If you need dairy-free, nut-free or low salt, we have you covered.
