Connecting People With Spices In An Enriching Culinary Adventure With Liz Edgecombe
Liz Edgecombe is a Victoria-based entrepreneur passionate about bringing tastes of the world to her fellow Aussies, and inspiring other women business owners along the way. A self-proclaimed “spice evangelist,” Liz started her business The Spice People in 1997 and has since grown it from humble side hustle to a successful business employing 10 people (and growing).

Thanks to a wealth of knowledge, a successful business, and frequent appearances on the popular Channel Ten cooking show, My Market Kitchen, Liz is regarded today as one of Australia’s most highly-esteemed experts and go-to gurus when it comes to spices.
