The Science of Spice: Understand Flavour Connections and Revolutionize your Cooking (The Science of Food)

This is the best, well organised, well written book in my kitchen library.It shows which spices go together best. Also the regions they are from. If, like me you enjoy reading cookery books as well as recipes from them, this will be your favourite book. It’s not like the tv cooks attempt at cookery. It’s written by an expert. A true scientific study.

I got this for my granddaughter and she was over the moon with it

Really cool. Gives a very thorough chemical insight and ideas for practical appliance

I loved this book. It covers the history and geography of the development of spices explaining the present day use of spices around the world. There is a two page detail on each of 50+ spices which is invaluable for understand the chemistry of each spice and how it can be paired with other spices. Alas there is little detail about effect of roasting/grinding options or cooking times and even less detail on the effect of tastes on the flavours. The last point is critical and you will have to look elsewhere for the detail. For Indian cuisine I found Masala Lab by Krish Ashok to be excellent for tastes and flavours of Indian food. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0143451375?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I absolutely love this book. I'm a chef so regular cook books don't interest me very much, this is far from a regular Cookbook. It is very well laid out and explains all it wants really well without getting lost in details which make it excellent for a quick reference. I especially love how it advises on different flavour combinations. I highly recommend this for any chef or homecook who wants to advance their knowledge on all things spice related.

I saw this and the science of food book in the London science museum and was hooked! The layout is very enticing and draws you in. Associations with different ingredients is set out clearly and has already provided me with some amazing insights. I love science and cooking, so knowing how to get the best of the flavours on offer is brilliant. Yes, it’s probably obvious to lots of people but I love the way the “rules” of the game are set out

Bought as a Christmas gift for the hubby. He's very keen on cooking and loves experimemting with flavour combinations. The book goes into detail about combination ideas, as well as giving in depth detail on each spice and its origin. A deffinate purchase for any keen chef!

Well in the first time I want to thank you for delivering it, as it was a gift for my hubby. It was 3 weeks late but I didnt cancel the order cuz I knew he will love it❤the book itself is so interesting and we discover condimentes that we didn't knew they does exist🙈. Thank youuuu again and again 🙏🙏🙏

É tutto in inglese é l'ho dovuto rendere indietro

Super livre, des excellentes idées et plein d'infos utiles

Muy buen libro, es lo que esperaba y llegó en óptimas condiciones.

Das Buch gefällt mir sehr gut! Der Aufbau ist so gut strukturiert, dass ich’s ein Eindruck habe, man bekommt die Infos zu den einzelnen Gewürzen und deren Anwendung schneller, als wenn man im Internet recherchieren würde. Das finde ich in der heutigen Zeit schon beachtlich! Dazu ist es schön anzusehen, enthält ein paar solide Rezepte und alles in allem halte ich es für ein „Gewürz-Standardwerk“, das ich auch immer mal gerne verschenke!

Jammer dat de bladzijde er niet uitzien en boek niet meer plat dicht kan en de buitenkant ook beschadigd is. Ik wil het boek retourneren en geld terug ontvangen.
