Publisher's Summary
A book that celebrates spices, and the integral ways in which they shape what we eat.
Throughout a career spanning 30 years, well-known food critic and writer (and little-known collector of spice grinders of eclectic origin) Marryam H. Reshii has had a relentless love affair with spices. Such has been her passion that she has travelled across the country and to various corners of the world - crushing, grinding, frying and tasting - in a bid to understand every aspect of these magnificent ingredients. The result is The Flavour of Spice, a zesty narrative that brings together stories about the origins of spices and how they evolved in the cuisines we know and love; colourful anecdotes gleaned from encounters with plantation owners and spice merchants; and beloved family recipes from chefs and home cooks.
From the market yards of Guntur, India's chilli capital, to the foothills of Sri Lanka in search of `true cinnamon, and from the hillsides of Sikkim where black cardamom thrives to the saffron markets in the holy city of Mashhad, Iran - this heady account pulsates with exciting tales of travel and discovery, and an infectious love for the ingredients that add so much punch to our cuisines.

Spice book
It's good and gives a perspective about spices. Bit of history on spices and how it shaped the world was interesting. Recipes were long ( Especially in audible) in each chapter.

amazing insights!
I loved the content of the book and really like the way the Jasleem Bhalla narrates too. I however had some issues with her pronunciations of certain ethenically specific words. Wish she would do better research on just these. I had listened to another book where she was the narrator too and has the same problem there as well. The rest was really great!
