5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing find, August 25, 1998
By A Customer
While Julie Sahni is very well-known for her Indian cookbooks, this one is an unsung joy. She has an incredible way of mixing different tastes together to create something wonderful. If you like to experiement with spices and ethinc flavors, this is a must-have book for your. She layers on the flavors in some of the recipes in combinations that are surprising but delicious. My favorites include Blueberry-Saffron pie, Chicken Escabeche and her salsas and sauces.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tantalise your taste buds!, August 1, 2008
No doubt about it, Ms. Sahni knows her spices and herbs. Starting with a familiar and everyday cooking ingredient such as allspice, her book runs the gamut to more unfamiliar or uncommon herbs and spices: ajowan, annatto, epazote and sumac to name a few.

Not only does she share the best way to use them all in cooking, but she also informs us of their country of origin and medicinal uses. The recipes included in the book highlight the aromatic characteristics of each of the herb or spice used. She even has 10 recipes for spice and herb blends: Cajun spice, jerk spice, herb citrus and BBQ spice are some examples.

A handy spice and herb reference guide and recipe book rolled into one.
