The Grammar of Spice by Caz Hildebrand, Used, Hardcover

The ultimate stylish kitchen resource, exploring the history of sixty spices and their uses―a must have for cooks and food lovers alike
Even the most enthusiastic cooks and food lovers have jars of dusty powders inhabiting kitchen cabinets long past their expiration dates. We often don’t know much about them, where they come from, or how to use them. And yet, spices can elevate the everyday act of making and consuming food to a higher plane of experience.
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 desserts 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 Grammar of Spice is a practical resource for cooks that also changes the way we understand the role spices play in defining not only our food but also our place in the world. Featuring custom illustrations for each of the more than sixty spices featured here―inspired by the work of Owen Jones, one of the great designers and travelers of his time―this beautiful, informative book celebrates the world of flavors that spices open up to us.
100 color illustrations
All of our cookbooks are vintage, used, loved, worked from, cooked from. This is by design, a feature, not a bug. If you are looking for new cookbooks we recommend you check with Browsers Books in Olympia, WA.
