Spice: Recipes to Delight the Senses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While perusing the library I stumbled upon this incredible book (which I later purchased due to it's great content). After thumbing through the pages I was instantly intrigued by the use of Asian ingredients with dishes ranging from meats, noodles, soups, appetizers and deserts. All using ingredients that I like to employ in my everyday cooking.
The first recipe that caught my eye was a Ahi Tuna over Spinach and Homemade Anchovy Aioli. It was incredible and one of my favorite recipes in the book. All of the recipes I've tried are imaginative and complex in flavor. As I type this I have a Spicy Vegetable stock for a Turmeric and Lemongrass Noodle dish on the stove.
Warning to those who only shop at the not-well-stocked American grocer: many of these recipes call for ingredients you simply will not find. But, if you feel like being adventurous, give it a try. There are also a lot of online grocers for a variety of ingredients should you live in a small town.

Many people use the bare minimum when it comes to spicing up their food, sticking with the standards of salt and pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg, oregano and basil. But spices should be a sensual feast that enlivens the palate, seduces the taste buds and tantalizes the mind. Spice is anything but dull, a cookbook love affair with the exotic and under-appreciated, and draws on spices and aromatics from countries such as Sri Lanka, Japan, Singapore, Tunisia, China, Thailand and Mexico.Spice includes a plethora of delicious recipes such as Saffron Prawn Risotto, Asparagus and Fragrant Curry Sauce, Smoked Eggplant and Spicy Masala Sauce, and Tangelo Cardamom Ice Cream. With a comprehensive spice index, a description of the wide variety of spices available today and a huge selection of recipes including everything from appetizers to drinks and desserts, Spice will add zest to everyone's palate.Praise for Spice:"Christine Manfield evokes rich aromas and luscious flavours from the very first page...The recipes, from traditional Thai pastes to Manfield's own exotic inventions, are exceptional." - Marie Claire
