Phaidon is pleased to announce Spiced: Recipes Celebrating Spices from Around the World, a groundbreaking new book by food historian and writer Priya Mani, and a foreword by Harold McGee.
Through essays and in-depth profiles of each of the 50 featured spices, Spiced examines botanical origins, flavor profiles, preparation, and uses in a variety of global dishes, with tips and techniques to unlock the full flavor potential of the spice pantry.
Each spice has a dedicated chapter offering many ways to cook with the spice. Twenty key spice blends—from garam masala and Chinese five-spice to baharat and ras el hanout—are given their own recipes and context. Richly illustrated with 130 specially commissioned color photographs—of finished dishes and evocative images of the spices themselves—Spiced is a visually stunning and deeply informative volume. It provides fascinating insight into the often-hidden history and origins of the spices we use daily, and inspires readers to seek out new flavors through spices, to cook, to explore and to see the world differently.
