Tom Stobart's extensively researched, alphabetical reference guide to herbs, spices, and flavorings, quite literally, defines good taste.

There are also knowledgeable assessments of the gradations in taste and intensity, and the effects of cooking, freezing, pickling, and maturing on every spice, herb, and flavoring covered--a feature all cooks will surely appreciate."Tom Stobart is the authority on herbs."-- Craig Claiborne"A meticulously researched and fascinating work. . . . Handsome illustrations enhance a book that will provide a helpful reference to any cook or connoisseur desiring a knowledge of herbs, spices and flavorings--the most complex and rewarding of all culinary tools."-- Publishers Weekly
