One-Minute Book Review

Healing Spices: How to Use 50 Everyday and Exotic Spices to Boost Health and Beat Disease – by Dr. Bharat Aggarwal & Debora Yost

This is exactly what the subtitle promises it to be, and more. It’s actually herbs and spices, but definitely mostly spices, and includes the kinds found in even the smallest supermarket, to some you might not have heard of, and might need to order online.

We are treated to an explanation of the health-giving properties of each (and any potential contraindications), as well as the culinary properties, many tables of what goes with what and how and why, and even recipes to use them in. For the more adventurous, there’s even advice on how to grow, prepare, and store each of them.

An extra benefit is that everything is cross-linked such that you can look things up by spice or by health condition or by flavor profile, and find what you need and what’ll go with it.

The style is simple and informational, clearly laid-out in encyclopedic form.

Bottom line: this book should be in your kitchen (or related nearby kitchen-book-place).
