At La Table Indienne, we celebrate the rich history of culinary and artisanal traditions. We know that cooking authentic Indian dishes can seem intimidating, but we believe everyone should be able to enjoy the pleasure of a home-cooked meal. Our solution is a unique blend of cultures: we combine our authentic Indian spices with fresh, local ingredients. Our ready-to-cook kits simplify Indian cooking by providing you with everything you need and a simple, step-by-step guide.
We were also inspired by a surprising historical link between our two regions: the traditional Indian art of block printing, which captivated Alsace in the 18th century and is beautifully preserved today at the Mulhouse museum. This art is now within your reach thanks to our hand-carved wooden blocks!
Prepare authentic Indian recipes with our spices and everyday ingredients from your kitchen.
Customize paper, fabric, pottery and much more from home with our wooden blocks.
Browse our selection of spices used in Indian cuisine. Our spices are imported directly from India from selected producers for unparalleled quality and flavors.
