Summary: Choosing and Using Spices
Review: I loved this book as soon as I picked it up. It explains where the spices come from, what parts of the plants are used, the different types, Culinary uses, aroma descriptions, etc... This book will tell you everything you could ever want to know about spices. It also includes colorful pictures, recipes, and tells you how to make your own seasonings like curries and cajun.

Summary: Spicey information!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed,and still enjoy, this book! I was looking for a book with spice information to have available for my customers - and this book fit the bill. The book has a "clean" look, with clear descriptions of the many spices included in it's pages. I found the information to be thorough, and the pictures are fantastic!
This book is loaded with information on individual spices, but it also gives recipes for spice combinations as well as recipes from breads to desserts that include a variety of spices that are both common and a little more exotic.
"The Cook's Encyclopedia of Spices" had what I was looking for, and then some, without being overwhelming.
I feel that any chef, or weekend cooking warrior, would find this book helpful.
