Spices and Herbs
By: Jill Norman
Why do I have two kinds of spice books?
Priority? I guess...
I was first recommended to this book so I got this one at least a couple months before I got the other one. So in other words It was just a impulse buy..
Pictures/cover
Honestly It also caught my eye because of the cover and the amazing pictures inside. I mean sure it may not have extensive information on each herb or spice, or have as many herbs or spices, but the pictures sure are pretty! And looking through this book I even discovered herbs and spices I haven't even heard of. And that's saying something!
Because I can
The more books in my culinary library the happier it makes me! It's amazing how much my library has grown even since buying this book.. The only sad part is I have exactly used this one...yet
What's the difference between books?
Well for one this one is more expensive comparatively because it's a hardcover and has a lot more fancy pictures. Another thing is that has less information then the other one. It only lists information like tasting notes,parts used, buying and storage, harvesting, and culinary uses.
