Encyclopedia of Spices. From anise to saffron
19.99 €
The history of spices is the history of mankind, or rather of human relations.
Culinary habits cannot be changed by fiat; neither can they be preserved by anyone's wish. These changes occur by chance - particularly through assimilation. Throughout human history, spices have been attractive and desirable, and have played an important role in the preparation and consumption of foods. As such, by tracing the use of spices across cultures on different continents at different historical moments, we can fairly accurately assess the nature and extent of such assimilation. Sometimes the use of the same spices unites into one common food culture people who otherwise have little in common. There are many stories in our book. And all of them connected by one theme - spices - make our common story into one flavorful spicy, sometimes pungent, sometimes enchanting taste. In the book you will find both the uses of different spices and recipes with them.
