About the Author
Manisha Gambhir Harkins was born in Mumbai to a family from South India, a region where spices like asafoetida, tarnarind, and cardamom are indispensable to life. Since the earliest overland and sea spice routes led to India, it is no surprise that spices are in Manisha's blood.

This review is from: Spices (Hardcover)
I found this book in a bargain bin and was first captured by the photos - large, colorful, very engaging. One thing I like most about this book is the history given in each region's chapter - I like cookbooks that you can read as well as cook from. We made the Persian rice and it was so lovely! This is definitely a book that tempts me to push my cooking boundaries. A wonderful gift.
