Spice, The History of a Temptation
Jack Turner
FOOD •  2005 •  PAPER

A cultural history of pepper, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Turner evokes the romance, lust and mystery of these exotic imports from the east. He cleverly organizes the book, not by by geography, chronology or space, but by the impact of these wonderfully valuable and valued good on the psyche. Great fun and enlightening.  (GEN334, $17.00)
