A quality effort October 24, 2008

Worthy of 4 stars but there are a few that are more comprehensive... Since I was using it for a business reference I should have looked for one of those.

I love this book! It is a great reference for herbs and spices and would be a valuable addition to any foodie, culinary enthusiast, herbalist, or kitchen alchemist's collection. The recipes provided for each spice are lovely and the book's organization is easy to use and logically presented. You can't go wrong with this amazing book.
