About this title

Review

"At last, a book that finally simplifies the unnecessarily complicated world of spices. Mark Stevens tells you just what you need to put together veritable flavors and dishes celebrated throughout the world. For anyone who has ever been intimidated by the spice aisle, or for those looking to flex their cooking muscles, this book is for you."--Matt Moore, author of A Southern Gentleman's Kitchen, The South's Best Butts, and Have Her Over For Dinner.

"Cooking with Spices is part reference book, part cookbook, and part international culinary journey. A trip to an international grocery store can be thrilling and incredibly intimidating and some cooks learn the hard way that too much of a new spice can throw off an entire dish. This book gives novice and seasoned cooks the confidence to embrace the adventure of trying new cuisines."--Chef Amy Sins, author of Ruby Slippers Cookbook

"Anyone who loves cooking--from expert chefs to new cooks just starting out in the kitchen to those who simply appreciate a well-crafted meal--will find inspiration and adventure in Cooking with Spices. With recipes that are easy to follow and fascinating tidbits from history and science sprinkled throughout its pages, Stevens has combined his vast experience as a traveler with his cooking expertise to give us a recipe book that you'll enjoy from start to finish."--Denver Nicks, author of Hot Sauce Nation and co-host of Snacks and Snacks webseries.
