Our ancestors fought wars for a lot of things — gold, lands, freedom, and... spices. Maybe there were no battles between the two armies for cardamom, maybe two generals did not go out to fight for star anise, but it is well known that since ancient times trade routes were built for the import of black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices, and corporations sent ships and fought for the market by any means. But do you know what spices are and how to use them? This book contains the most accurate and useful information about all spices so that you can make a gourmet dish from even the most ordinary products!This is not a cookbook in the usual sense, nor is it a collection of recipes. This is a detailed guide that explains how taste works, how flavor unfolds, and why some combinations enhance a dish while others overload it. The edition will complement your recipe book, allowing you to add even more flavor to familiar dishes or even reveal them in a new way. The author draws on the experience gained over the centuries, so the text organically echoes the world history of trade and cultural exchanges. Spices are becoming a part of human history here: from caravan routes to modern cuisines and even medicine. This is a kind of historical book, where it is not about dates and battles, but about tastes and habits that shaped the world history of everyday life. A convenient usage table, glossary and visual illustrations make this cookbook with illustrations — vivid photographs that will certainly help you remember each spice — a practical tool. The publication is suitable as a gift book for a woman who is passionate about gastronomy, or as a universal gift to your best friend if you are thinking about what to give to a person who likes to cook and is interested in food culture. This edition helps you to hear the taste — literally as if by notes.
