Book Reviews of Herbs & Spices: The Cook's Reference

Book Review: Great reference with lots of information
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is well illustrated and covers many not so come herbs and variations of common herbs. I was surprised by the depth of coverage. I already had spice reference books, but this one is much more through and acts as my primary reference now.

Summary of Herbs & Spices: The Cook's Reference

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.
