Why a book on Indian spice blends, you ask? Well, a garam masala may contain anywhere from four to fifteen different spices; a pickle masala may have a different recipe in Andhra Pradesh than it does in Delhi; a chai masala may have a different recipe in the winter than it does in the summer. This book sets out on a quest to unravel how a single dish can be prepared with multiple spice blends, all created from the same whole spices, yet resulting in distinct flavours. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the history, mythology and cultural significance behind 500 unique spice mixes from India. It's a spice trail like no other.
The Flavour of Spice
A book that celebrates spices, and the integral ways in which they shape what we eat. Throughout a career spanning thirty years, well-known food critic and writer (and little-known collector of spice-grinders of eclectic origin), Marryam H. Reshii has had a relentless love affair with spices. Such has been her passion that she has travelled across the country and to various corners of the world – crushing, grinding, frying and tasting – in a bid to understand every aspect of these magnificent ingredients. The result is The Flavour of Spice, a zesty narrative that brings together stories about the origins of spices and how they evolved in the cuisines we know and love; colourful anecdotes gleaned from encounters with plantation owners and spice merchants; and beloved family recipes from chefs and home cooks. From the market yards of Guntur, India’s chilli capital, to the foothills of Sri Lanka in search of ‘true’ cinnamon, and from the hillsides of Sikkim where black cardamom thrives to the saffron markets in the holy city of Mashhad, Iran - this heady account pulsates with exciting tales of travel and discovery, and an infectious love for the ingredients that add so much punch to our cuisines.
Medicinal Spices and Herbs from India
Indian spices are known for their tremendous advantages, both as medicines as well as in cuisine. This two-volume book provides valuable and detailed information about the pharmacological and therapeutic benefits of traditional and exotic Indian spices grown on Indian soil and available across geographical boundaries. Volume 2 focuses on individual spices and their uses in treating various diseases. In particular, the volume explores the impacts and uses of black cumin, celery, black stone flowers, chili pepper, Asian spider flower, alkanet, kapok tree, pomegranate, asafoetida, fenugreek, cardamom, Indian sandalwood, musk, and more. Exploring each herb in detail, the book provides both new information as well as reinforces existing knowledge regarding these spices, adding to the knowledge about these exotic Indian spices in the field of medicine. Volume 1: Introduction, Therapeutic Properties, and Commercial Products provides an introduction to the history of use of spices in Indian culture and goes on to discuss the influence of geographical location and climatic variation, processing conditions for extraction of active principles, medicinal uses of traditional spices, the therapeutic properties and molecular mechanisms of exotic Indian spices used as medicine in the treatment of cancer, inflammation, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, brain and cognitive function, cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, bacterial infections, and other pathological conditions.
