About Us
Food, travel and the story behind Tyga.
Our story
From a journey to your kitchen.
Tyga began with a trip to India in 2008 — and a wish to bring those flavours home.
A little help from Shahin
When Matt and Steph returned, recreating the dishes they had loved was harder than expected. Some ingredients were unfamiliar or difficult to find; others came in far larger quantities than a single recipe needed. A conversation with Shahin, the chef at their favourite local Indian restaurant, sparked an idea: recipe-specific ingredients in the right amounts, with clear instructions to bring everything together.

More than just a spice kit
Today, Tyga brings the flavours of the Silk Road to home kitchens. Depending on the recipe, each kit contains measured spices, prepared pastes, sauces or stocks, with an illustrated recipe card. You bring the fresh ingredients and cupboard essentials listed on the card. We bring the flavour.
Made for discovering. Made for giving.
From our base in Cheltenham, we assemble and check colourful recipe kits and gift sets for cooks, curious eaters and food lovers.
