Spices of Life

Spices fascinate us - the way a pinch of chilli zips a sober bean casserole into a hot experience or how the scent of cinnamon wafting from a bakery triggers the appetite. "The Spices of Life" brings together over 100 delicious recipes using favourite spices like cloves, nutmeg, saffron, mace, cardamom, ginger, chillies and pepper, as well as less familiar and exotic ones. Dishes encompass starters, snacks and soups, main and side courses, chutneys and sauces and desserts and drinks. This is a beautiful compilation, rich in striking images, superb recipes and fascinating information. The book includes recipes fully adapted for western cooks, clear step-by-step cooking instructions and brief notes on foods, cultures and countries with each recipe. With two hundred full-colour photographs, a glossary of foods, an illustrated spice guide and a history of spices. "The Spices of Life" is ideal for all cooks, as well as a great gift-giving idea.
