Review: Very useful - Really cool. Gives a very thorough chemical insight and ideas for practical appliance Review: The Spice Encyclopedia! - Fantastic book that encourages creativity rather than following recipes. I'd suggest this for those who have decided they have a passion for cooking and want to take it a step further from following recipes to making their own. The title couldn't be more apt, it really is a science textbook about spices, with maybe some geography thrown in for good measure. Of course, if you're into cooking you probably won't read it like you used to read those science textbooks in school (unless you were, of course, into science too!). The book is exceptionally designed, very vibrant, and altogether just a joy to look at. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Binding : Hardcover - Pages : 224 - Publisher : Dk ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 25,145 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 13 in History of Food 41 in Food & Drink Encyclopaedias & Dictionaries 803 in Science & Nature References | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,189 Reviews | ## Images ![The Science of Spice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xzJib94qL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful *by M***S on 25 January 2025* Really cool.

Superb *by P***N on 2 June 2021* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Science Of Spice - The Science of Cooking: Every Question Answered to Perfect Your Cooking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66650472-the-science-of-spice](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66650472-the-science-of-spice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
