Very good, very thorough reference book for herbs. The recipes that I’ve tried so far have also been very good. I plan on adding this to my library.

Show More
Cooks use spices and herbs to not only enhance food flavor, but to also create new taste combinations and sensations. From the vanilla bean used in creating ice cream to the cinnamon in fragrant cinnamon buns, it is virtually impossible to imagine a kitchen without spices. The Spice and Herb Bible is a fascinating, authoritative history and reference source. Ian Hemphill describes a wide range of global herbs and spices which can be used in today's kitchen, either alone or in magical combinations. This book demystifies the art of combining herbs and spices, and introduces the home cook to worlds of tastes formerly to be had only at "exotic" restaurants. With delightful recipes and great tips for use and storage, The Spice and Herb Bible is truly an essential resource for any well-equipped kitchen.

What a great book! I learned about many spices that I had never heard of before and accompanying recipies on how to use them. Sections on types of salt, types of curry powder were enlightening. This is the type of book you want in your library because it literally has much to much information to retain. The section on spice and herb blends was very well done.

Magnificent. An ungrateful reader might wish for photos of the plants as well as the spices and herbs, but one can't have everything.

I'm on a kick learning about spices right now. This is my favorite book. I like the good detailed information, and the advice on how to mix and make your own spice mixes.

Great comprehensive reference for a wide range of spices and herbs. In addition to pictures, storage and usage info, each flavoring includes names in foreign languages (very useful in ethnic markets), complementary flavor pairings, amounts to use, and dishes it complements. There are also one or two recipes for each flavoring.
