Herbs, Spices and Flavorings

Author: Tom Stobart

The most complete—and famous—guide to herbs and spices ever published, and a necessary volume for every cook's shelf.

Tom Stobart's extensively researched, alphabetical reference guide to herbs, spices, and flavorings, quite literally, defines good taste. Illustrated throughout, this comprehensive volume discusses nearly four hundred different herbs, spices, and flavorings found all over the world.

From Almond to Zedoary, each entry includes a detailed description of native uses, origins, and history; magical, medicinal, and scientific uses; and botanical, native, and popular names. There are also knowledgeable assessments of the gradations in taste and intensity, and the effects of cooking, freezing, pickling, and maturing on every spice, herb, and flavoring covered—a feature all cooks will surely appreciate.

"Tom Stobart is the authority on herbs." — Craig Claiborne

"A meticulously researched and fascinating work. . . . Handsome illustrations enhance a book that will provide a helpful reference to any cook or connoisseur desiring a knowledge of herbs, spices and flavorings—the most complex and rewarding of all culinary tools." — Publishers Weekly

Tom Stobart is not only an expert on cookery, but also a well-known photographer, mountaineer, and filmmaker. His last film was Master Chefs and he is also the author of The Cook's Encyclopedia: Ingredients and Processes.
