Herbies Spices

Herbie has long been the nickname of Ian Hemphill, one of Australia s foremost culinary herb and spice experts. Herbie spent his childhood surrounded by herbs and spices, when his parents, John and Rosemary Hemphill, were pioneering the herb and spice scene in Australia in the 1950s. Fifty years of working in the industry, including appearing on radio and television and performing various roles in the spice industry, has made Herbie a well-respected and popular figure amongst his peers, in Australia and overseas. With his wife Elizabeth, Herbie is now enjoying sharing his extensive knowledge and experience with his customers at Herbie's Spices, a specialty spice store opened in July 1997. His mission is to demystify and encourage greater use of herbs and spices in everyday cooking.
