Spices are celebrated the world over for the depth of flavour that they bring to dishes. The alchemy of roasting and blending the perfect spice mix is a careful balance of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy that can elevate a dish to something truly special. But beyond their remarkable taste, many spices may have huge benefits to health and nutrition that are only now beginning to be recognised in the Western world. This beautiful cook book includes a detailed study of the history, myths and traditional uses of spices. Spice Health Heroes examines the culinary, nutritional and medical applications of everyday (and more exotic) spices found in your pantry. Medical and nutritional claims are backed by contributions from an impressive team of international medical professionals and institutions. With more than 80 recipes, including contributions from some 20 internationally renowned chefs from around the world, such as José Andrés, April Bloomfield, Peter Gordon, Judy Joo and Lidia Bastianich, Spice Health Heroes takes you on a journey through the spice cabinet and will inspire you to add a fragrant spice to every meal.
