A comprehensive source of information on some 200 herbs, spices, essences, edible flowers and leaves, aromatics, vinegars, oils, teas, and coffees. Each entry is abundantly illustrated with the exceptionally bright, clear photos and layout this publisher has made its standard; and each is described with tips for storage and cooking, food match-ups, and recipes. Enhancing the work is a separate section in which characteristics of the cuisines of various regions of the world are summarized. A lovely book, first published in Great Britain in 1992; this reprint is identified as an "American edition." Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
