From chile to saffron, vanilla to ginger, spices have a long history and a story to tell. In Spices, Indian-born food writer celebrates their distinctive flavors in her original recipes. All the recipes contain the spices associated with their continent of origin. Fascinating tales of the Great Chile Migrations, the Spice Empires of the Romans and Venetians, the Romance of the Silk Road and many more provide ample food for thought.

Aromatic, subtle, pungent or fiery-every country has typical spice mixes that epitomize its cooking. A chapter on the Americas includes America Apple Pie with delicate autumnal spicing, and Cajun Spiced Corn and Bacon Chowder. Europe covers recipes from Plum Chutney to Scandinavian Mulled Wine. Africa and the Middle East showcases dishes such as spicy Prawn Piri Piri to Moroccan Grilled Fish with verdant chermoula spice paste. You'll love recipes from South Asi-the Indian Subcontinent: try Spicy Coconut Prawns from Kerala, of Almond and Cardamon Lamb. Try dishes from Japan, China and Korea such as Sushi or Chinese Red-cooked Chicken with Star Anise. South-east Asia stars a fiery riot of spice dishes-from Thai Green Curry to Vietnamese Salad.

About the Author

Manisha Gambhir Harkins was born in Mumbai to a family from South India, a region where spices like asafoetida, tarnarind, and cardamom are indispensable to life. Since the earliest overland and sea spice routes led to India, it is no surprise that spices are in Manisha's blood.

Peter Cassidy is one of Britain's finest food photographers. He specializes in food and travel and his work appears in many magazines, including Food and Travel, Livingetc., and FHM. For Ryland Peters and Small he has photographed Extra Virgin: Cooking with Olive Oil, Easy Sushi, Grill Pan Cooking, and Salsas, Dips, and Relishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars I came back and bought a second as a gift.

Verified Purchase
This book has stunning photography with clear, crisp images that will make your mouth water. It is very tastefully done; artful and well executed. The book runs through different spices from around the world and gives history on their origins and uses. With the history and stories, there are recipes using the spices featured. The recipes are outstanding and the photography compels you to create each meal and savour every bite. The dishes are delicious (I've made several so far - my favourite being the Cajun Corn Chowder). I originally saw this book in my township library and liked it so much that I purchased it here on Amazon, and then came back and bought another for my boyfriend's father as he loves to cook and try new flavours from around the world. I highly recommend it - Manisha Gambhir Harkins has done an excellent job with this book as it holds beauty for those interested in cooking, and those simply interested in feasting their eyes on beautiful food!

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2005
I found this book in a bargain bin and was first captured by the photos - large, colorful, very engaging. One thing I like most about this book is the history given in each region's chapter - I like cookbooks that you can read as well as cook from. We made the Persian rice and it was so lovely! This is definitely a book that tempts me to push my cooking boundaries. A wonderful gift.
