Spices have played an intrinsic part in the human story, running
through history, geography, anthropology, politics, religion,
culture, art and design. From alligator pepper seeds which, in the
Yoruba culture, are given to newborn babies to taste a few minutes
after birth, to charoli seeds, which are used in traditional Indian
sweets eaten during the festival of Holi, and caraway seeds, which
were added to medieval love potions, each spice has its own
significance in the lives of the people who use it. The story of
spice is really the stories of human relationships, from growers
and traders to cooks and explorers, all starting with a tiny seed.
The Grammar of Spice is one of the world's missing books. It will
change the way we understand spices and the role they play in
defining not only our food but also our place in the world. The
essence of each spice is explored in a brief history peppered with
interesting anecdotes and tips, and accompanied by reproductions of
surface decoration from Owen Jones's original book, The Grammar of
Ornament. The book is beautiful to look at and hold, packed with
well-researched material, and will change the way a generation
appreciates the incredible world of flavours and tastes that spices
open up to us.
