salmonread's review against another edition

5.0

really, truly, one of my favorite books. endlessly amusing & informative. would totally invite eugene walter to dinner in that theoretical 'which people, living or dead, would you invite to dinner?' game.

Check your cupboards for Devil's Dung, Boneset and Rowan berries each described in this A-to-Z compendium of herbs, spices & aromatics plus recipes, wit, folklore and sweet illustrations. One could do worse than try every recipe - I'm thinking Mirlitons or chokos stuffed with shrimp followed by Antilles Custard. Note vinegars & chutneys,too. I was trying to thin the cookbook collection, but this one stays.
