External Reviews
"I loved this book. It covers the history and geography of the development of spices explaining the present day use of spices around the world. There is a two page detail on each of 50+ spices which is invaluable for understand the chemistry of each spice and how it can be paired with other spices."
"Fantastic book that encourages creativity rather than following recipes. I'd suggest this for those who have decided they have a passion for cooking and want to take it a step further from following recipes to making their own. The title couldn't be more apt, it really is a science textbook about spices, with maybe some geography thrown in for good measure. Of course, if you're into cooking you probably won't read it like you used to read those science textbooks in school (unless you were, of course, into science too!). The book is exceptionally designed, very vibrant, and altogether just a joy to look at." - Google Reviews.
