In Culinary Herbs and Spices of the World, Ben-Erik van Wyk offers
the first fully illustrated, scientific guide to nearly all
commercial herbs and spices in existence. The book covers more than
150 species, from black pepper and blackcurrant to white mustard
and white ginger, detailing the propagation, cultivation, and
culinary uses of each. Introductory chapters capture the essence of
culinary traditions, traditional herb and spice mixtures,
preservation, presentation, and the chemistry of flavours, and
individual entries include the chemical compounds and structures
responsible for each spice or herb's characteristic flavour.
Finally, the book offers a global view of the most famous use or
signature dish for each herb or spice, satisfying the gourmand's
curiosity for more information about new dishes from little-known
culinary traditions. People all over the world are becoming more
sophisticated and demanding about what they eat and how it is
prepared. Culinary Herbs and Spices of the World will appeal to
those inquisitive foodies in addition to gardeners and botanists.
