Journey to the fabulous world of spices

STORIES AND CURIOSITIES ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS THAT CONQUERED THE WORLD. Small treasures that made the world go round, sent people to the seas, perfumed food, cured the aches and pains of the body and soul, and honored gods—spices inspired this delightful book by Rosa Nepomuceno. With many stories and covering dozens of aromatic species whose uses have been consecrated throughout time, "Journey to the Fabulous World of Spices" showcases the collection of herbs and sticks, seeds and roots, grains, fruits, and fragrant flowers, created to seduce us and make life more appealing. Throughout the book, you can learn interesting information about spices, from rosemary to juniper: their origins, histories, gastronomic uses, and medicinal properties. Rosa was advised by physician and phytotherapist Dr. Alex Botsaris, botanists, and historians.
