Non-fiction book review - Salt, Pepper, Season, Spice

 

Salt, Pepper, Season, Spice by Jacques Pasquet

Maybe you've wondered where spices come from. Even if you haven't, this book is surprisingly fascinating. It doesn't delve especially deeply into the origins or history of any individual spice but it does provide a brief overview. This includes region, varieties, and historical trivia. The text is easily understood with an accessible vocabulary, making it interesting for young readers and parents alike. And because each section is fairly short you can read it all at once or in fits and starts without difficulty. For anyone with an interest in food or culture, this book is worth a look.
