Customer Reviews
I like to cook with good spicesReview by Best Cook around, 2010-08-06
I'm very happy with this book, and more importantly the main cook in the house likes this too. I think it would be a great book for anyone who likes gourmet cooking even it is just occasionally. It seems an excellent resource. I bought this book for my friend, who is something of a food critic, and it was well received. We have not yet found a spice that isnt in this book. Just the other day I found some spice I was looking for and said it saved me lots of time. I am really enjoying reading through the book and finding out about everything that is worth, and I really like the photos of the spices as well. Really good pictures.
Perfect Combination
Review by Katie M. Sandoe, 2010-06-10
I ordered this book after much consideration. I have recently been struck with an intense love of mixing herbs and spices in with my cooking. I live in rural Nebraska so the spice variety is a little less varied but wanted to learn all that I could about cooking with herbs and spices and how to grow them if I wanted to. This book is laid out beautifully and has great information. I love the "Culinary uses" section for each herb or spice and the information on how to select items from the store, how the taste rates, and the pictures are just fabulous. As a new person to the realm of spices and herbs I am delighted to see that this book meets my needs. I only wish that the book would tell of the medical uses of certain herbs and spices are. Guess we can't have it all however.
Great Book!
Review by Michael D. Williams, 2010-05-18
I personally like recipe books and cook companion guides that are visually appealing, functional, and thoughtfully written. This guide does it all. Great for referencing while you cook or simply just sittig down to read. A great buy. Especially useful for discovering proper spice pairing.
