A Recipe Book Created to Give You Great Holiday Moments

I am Arnaud Sion, founder of Comptoir de Toamasina since 2010. I split my life between Brazil, where I live, and Madagascar, where my vanilla adventure started. Along the way, I traveled the world to source exceptional spices—and that is where the inspiration for this recipe book comes from.

Today, amidst inflation and rising fuel prices putting pressure on holiday budgets, we know how much every saving matters. That is why I wanted to make a genuine gesture: Le Comptoir de Toamasina is the very first online spice shop to create and offer a complete 50-recipe book to its community, 100% free of charge.

I wrote this recipe book with my son right by my side: he is the one testing the muddler, the shaker, and adjusting sugar levels with me. Only the recipes that passed his honest taste test made it into the book!

What Inside This Recipe Book

50 recipes divided into two main chapters: 25 world refreshing drinks from Brazil, Mexico, and India (Limonada Suíça, Agua de Jamaica, Horchata, Iced Vanilla Coffee...), and 25 alcohol-free cocktails to make with family (Kids' Mojito, Virgin Caipirinha, Espresso Tonic...).

Every page in this recipe book follows a clear layout: a 4-step quick guide, exact ingredients, chef's tips, and advice on how to elevate your drinks with fine spices or single-origin tea.
