How to play

  1. Pick a cuisine tab (taco, curry, cajun, za'atar, Italian, jerk, or Moroccan) and a heat level (Mild, Medium, or Hot).
  2. Set your batch size in teaspoons — this is roughly how much total blend you want to end up with.
  3. Tap Generate Blend to see the full ingredient list with exact teaspoon amounts for your batch size.
  4. Tap Re-roll Variation for a close alternate take on the same cuisine, or Print / Copy Recipe to save the card.

Spice Blend Generator turns a cuisine and a heat level into an actual spoon-by-spoon recipe. Choose from taco, curry, cajun, za'atar, Italian, Jamaican jerk, or Moroccan ras el hanout, set Mild, Medium, or Hot, and the tool builds a blend from real base spices in fixed ratios, with a separate chili component that scales up or down with the heat you picked — the base spices never move. Enter your batch size in teaspoons and every ingredient scales together, so the ratios stay identical whether you're making a single-jar batch or stocking a big canister. Re-roll for a close variation on the same cuisine, then copy or print the finished card to keep next to your spice rack.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing the heat level affect the whole recipe or just the spicy part?
Only the chili/pepper ingredients scale with the heat level you pick — the base spices (cumin, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and so on) stay at the exact same ratio no matter which heat level is selected.
How does the batch size scaling work?
Every ingredient's teaspoon amount is calculated from its fixed ratio share of the total batch size you enter, so doubling the batch size doubles every single ingredient by the same factor and the blend's flavor balance never shifts.
What does Re-roll Variation actually change?
It keeps the same set of base ingredients for your chosen cuisine — nothing is added or removed — but lightly adjusts each base spice's proportion for a slightly different take on the same blend, while heat ingredients stay controlled only by the heat-level tab.
