| Description |
|
|
A chef who has contributed to Good Food, Chocolatier, and The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, Michael Krondl here serves up an aromatic and zesty history of Venice, Lisbon, and Amsterdam, three cities whose spice empires have made cardamom, cinnamon, and turmeric essential flavors of many cuisines around the world. "With a dash of flair, and a pinch of humor, Michael Krondl mixes up a batch of well-researched facts to tell the story of the intriguing world of spices and their presence on the worldwide table. This is a book that every amateur cook, serious chef, foodie, or food historian should read."—Mary Ann Esposito
