Hi Gail, Chinese five spice is available all over, made up of star anise, fennel seeds, cloves, cinnamon and Szechuan peppercorns. Try asking the store manager if you cannot find it. Cheers G

Hi Graham. I have also looked at Pick n Pay/Checkers and have not been able to find this spice anywhere. Please can you let me know where to buy it. Thanx Gail

Hi Wendy, Chinese 5 spice is available in all supermarkets these days. It is a pre mixed combination of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and fennel. There are also combinations which include ginger. Enjoy it. G

Hi Graham,

This sounds delicious – just one question, what exactly is ‘chinese 5 spice’ as I’ve never heard of it.

Thanks
