Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Her words are so ever present and her descriptions so in-depth...I will carry this tome with me for a year. Everyone should have a copy of this encyclopedia in their collection." -- Mario Batali "From advieh to zedoary, Lakshmi stirs your sense of wanderlust...Along the way, she acts as both a tour guide and a fellow traveler on a journey through an abundant world of herbs and spices. It's a trip as educational as it is exciting." -- Thomas Keller "'This book takes you on an entirely new journey, which begins at advieh and ends at zedoary. Ranging far beyond the usual repertoire of familiar names, this is the perfect book for the curious cook." -- Ruth Reichl "A beautiful book by Padma Lakshmi featuring an extensive catalogue and helpful recommendations on how best to use these ingredients to create full-flavored dishes. A great resource for any chef or home cook." -- Eric Ripert
