Spices made Easy,

This review is from: The Complete Book of Spices: A Practical Guide to Spices and Aromatic Seeds (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an incredible book. It includes encyclopaedic information on all the most common spices and most of the rare ones. Not only does it include a description of their flavour and aroma but of their cooking and medicinal uses as well.The book starts with the history of spice trade (in a brief review of about 6 pages) and ends with a basic recipe book so that you can put your spice knowledge to work. I greatly recomend the cinnamon cookies recipe at the end of the book. As an extra it also contains recipes for mixing spices in order to produce curries, quatre epicees, sambal trassi, nam prik and many other as well. This is a must for any spice loving kitchen.

Extremely Valuable Cooking Resource,

This review is from: The Complete Book of Spices: A Practical Guide to Spices and Aromatic Seeds (Mass Market Paperback)
Living in an Asian country, this book has been a tremendous help in identifying the huge variety of spices available in local markets. I find the presentation of the different ways the spices are prepared (powdered, whole, dried, fresh etc...) to be most helpful. I really recommend this book!!
