Book Description
IACP Cookbook Award Finalist
Nobody knows herbs and spices like Tony Hill, owner of Seattle's famed World Merchants Spice, Herb & Teahouse. Now, in this acclaimed book, Hill gives us a comprehensive guide to these essential flavorings based on his travels around the globe. Blending culinary history, the lore of the spice routes, and his own inimitable tasting notes, he profiles more than 125 herbs and spices, ranging from the familiar to the exotic. He gives practical information and advice, including how best to use nine popular chiles, what distinguishes true cinnamon from cassia cinnamon, and why it makes a difference where your bay leaf comes from—plus more than 75 delicious recipes for distinctively spiced dishes. To top it all off, Hill reveals the secret recipes for 85 of his signature herb and spice blends, including barbecue rubs, mulling spices, chili powders, chai mixes, and curry powders. Complete with 185 color photographs, The Spice Lover's Guide to Herbs & Spices is an indispensable culinary reference that is both a pleasure to cook with and enjoyable to read.
"Hill . . . is way ahead of cookbook authors who cling to parsley in a cilantro world. . . . This is the book for anyone who has been lucky enough to find grains of paradise or Aleppo pepper and wonders where to go from there."
—Regina Schrambling, Los Angeles Times
"Even those who never cook may find themselves often dipping into this intriguing read."
—CeCe Sullivan, The Seattle Times

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
As a chef I am always looking for info on the things we eat! I have been thrilled with all the facts, uses and descriptions packed into this book. Well organized from A to Z, with a listing of herbs and spices you will recognize as well as things new and different even to a well "seasoned" chef. I love the fact that along with the name, alternate names, origin, part of the plant used, and uses, Tony Hill gives a little story for each item. Sometimes he tells you how he came to discover the spice or maybe a story about the first time he tasted it. Overall a great read packed with a lot of facts!
