The Modern Spice Rack: Recipes and Stories to Make the Most of Your Spices

An engaging and informative cookbook about how to use the most common spices in our cupboards in modern, inventive ways

The Modern Spice Rack is an insightful guide to the most common spices in our cupboards and offers up how to best make use of them in delicious recipes.

Spices have, historically, been a tricky ingredient. They're prevalent in everyone's kitchens, but too often are underused, stored badly, and kept years beyond their 'best before' date. There's the perceived alchemy of making a curry from scratch and the stringent marrying of certain spices to specific cuisines. This cookbook encourages liberal, creative, and everyday use - a well-timed pinch to elevate a dish, with a focus on great taste rather than being tethered to tradition.

Colorful introductions give context to lesser-known spices and provide new insights into more familiar varieties, and the global, taste-led recipes will have readers cooking more confidently with spices.
