Spices have played an intrinsic part in the human story, running through history, geography, anthropology, politics, religion, culture, art and design. The story of spice is really the stories of human relationships, from growers and traders to cooks and explorers, all starting with a tiny seed. The essence of each spice is explored in a brief history peppered with interesting anecdotes and tips and accompanied by reproductions of surface decoration from Owen Jones’s original book, The Grammar of Ornament. The book is beautiful to look at and hold, packed with well-researched material and will change the way a generation appreciates the incredible world of flavours and tastes that spices open up to us.
