Amazon.com Review
About 10,000 years ago, when people added leaves, sticks, or seeds to meals, they "not only changed the flavors of food, they changed the history of the world, too," say mother-and-daughter team Rochelle and Adrianna Zabarkes. The opening section of Adrianna's Spice Caravan gives background on some 48 spices and seasonings, from allspice to vanilla. The middle section, "Blends, Rubs and Marinades of the World," will help you season a universe of dishes. These, and all 150 recipes, are ethnic or related to ethnic dishes. So, you find pungently Italianate Halibut Puttanesca, Peruvian Roast Chicken redolent with garlic and sweet paprika, creamy Fragrant Rice simmered in coconut milk with lemon grass, and savory Devilishly Hot Fruit Salad to serve as a chutneylike accompaniment. The book also includes a number of other features that cooks will find invaluable: a list of mail-order sources, exquisitely descriptive notes that precede each recipe, and historical and literary references in the margins that provide a treasure of additional information. Even the type, which is displayed in tones of teal and terra cotta, gives Adrianna's Spice Caravan a visual lilt that is as inspired as the off-beat recipes.
