It's the little things that make a meal taste so good – a sprig of rosemary with a leg of lamb, chopped dill to infuse yoghurt, and nutmeg to flavour a curry. The secret lies in herbs and spices, those essentials of cooking. But how do you tell your thyme from your sage and when to use them? Galangal from fenugreek?
'Field Guide to Herbs & Spices' is here to help, and is a guide on how to identify, select, and use virtually every seasoning on the market. You'll soon be flavouring your dishes like a pro. Learn a basic history of the spice (saffron used to be worth more than gold!), its season (if applicable), how to choose it, how to prepare it, a recipe featuring the seasoning, and some good flavour pairings. Meals will never be the same again!
