I like to cook with good spices - Best Cook around -
I'm very happy with this book, and more importantly the main cook in the house likes this too. I think it would be a great book for anyone who likes gourmet cooking even it is just occasionally. It seems an excellent resource. I bought this book for my friend, who is something of a food critic, and it was well received. We have not yet found a spice that isnt in this book. Just the other day I found some spice I was looking for and said it saved me lots of time. I am really enjoying reading through the book and finding out about everything that is worth, and I really like the photos of the spices as well. Really good pictures.
