## Description

The Spice Companion: A Guide to the World of Spices: A Cookbook [Lev Sercarz, Lior] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Spice Companion: A Guide to the World of Spices: A Cookbook

Review: Every cook should have this book. - Every kitchen needs this book. Seriously. Sercarz has created an invaluable resource for every cook. Each spice and herb gets a two page spread with a beautiful illustration of it, a photo of it in various forms (such as ground and seed) and a rather in-depth look at it's flavor, origin, uses, and pairing suggestions. With each also comes a recipe for a spice blend using it. This is not necessarily the book you will go to when you are wondering what you will make for dinner tonight, but if you wanted to take that salmon in your fridge and create something flavorful and new, this is where you'd look. He covers the traditional spices most are familiar with and many that we may not be. From the introduction where he talks about his background, his love for amazing flavors, and goes into an overview of the fascinating history of spices to his pages on storing, buying, and using these falvorful ingredients, I was hooked. Reading this book made me want to order so many new flavors I have not tried yet and create more of my own blends. It is inspiring and educational and is now considered a treasure in my kitchen.
Review: Truly a Companion for Spices. - I purchased this book as a gift for my wife, so I asked her to write this review: This book is amazing. The photography and illustrations are beautiful, and it includes detailed information about many spices, some I didn't even know existed! Additionally, there's a good deal of information about storing spices, using spices, as well as each entry having its own blend suggestion (just in case you're feeling hesitant or a little uncomfortable with a new spice). I especially love how there's an explanation of where a specific spice or herb comes from, the different ways they can be used, and a little bit about the history of each spice I believe this book would be a great gift for anybody who, like me, really enjoys cooking a variety of ethnic cuisines and wants a little inspiration and understanding of the ingredients they are using... or likes to research and discover new things.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like Bob Ross for Spices
*by K***D on February 6, 2021*

I just got this book, and I am already in love. The first thing that stood out to me are the gorgeous, full-color pictures on almost every page. Lior Lev Sercarz is clearly passionate about spices, but he is in no way arrogant, despite his depth of knowledge and experience. Instead he seeks to inspire and encourage. I feel like he is the Bob Ross of spices, encouraging me to just try my hand at making blends and have fun with it. He offers great tips in a tone of voice that makes you feel like a friend is teaching you all they know about their favorite subject. I read a review stating they thought there would be more history about each spice and they felt it was incomplete. I can sort of see that, but this isn’t a textbook on spices. It’s a super helpful guide. While there isn’t exhaustive information on every single spice, there is enough to leave you feeling informed and inspired enough to get in the kitchen and create.
