Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
The first illustrated guide to cover the whole spectrum of herbs and spices for culinary use. Herbs & Spices is an indispensable reference that shows how to prepare fresh and dried herbs, how to use herbs and spices in cooking, and details everything that other books on the subject leave out. Containing a unique collection of recipes, from herb and spice mixes to rubs, pastes, salsas, and marinades, these authentic formulas will encourage cooks to think creatively and experiment on their own. Grouped by aroma and taste, with step-by-step preparation techniques and beautiful full-color photography, this book describes 60 herbs and the benefits of using them fresh or dried, and focuses on 60 spices from around the world, with a look at the early spice trade and how cross-cultural fusion has impacted on contemporary cooking.

• A How-to-book On Combining Herbs & Spices For Everyday Aromatic Meals
13 December, 2009
A 'How-to-Book' on Combining Herbs & Spices for Everyday Aromatic Meals -- I Have Been Looking for Years for a Book Like This One!
I enjoy the information given about the herbs and spices in the first part of the book, much like a simplified encylopedia. In fact, I value more these herbs and spices for their medicinal (health qualities), as well as their taste properties, now. I plan to purchase plants or grow from seed, several of the herbs and spices for use in my landscape which will not only be convenient for cooking, but add their beauty as they propagate and are trained as schrubs.
Interspersed within the initial information for a herb or a spice is how to prepare them. I like, too, that I am told which herbs and spices go with what foods the best. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR QUEST FOR ME.
The last part has recipes from around the world and the different cultures. I have heard about and tasted a few of these recipes, but did not know how to prepare them. Now, I have the source in which to achieve "OOUUUUUU LA LA" meals everyday.
