"Thank you Global Vegetarian! You have inspired me to open more doors in my life and I’m sure many others will appreciate the same. >>> The pictures are so good I’d swear I could reach into my screen and take a sprig of fennel from it! For once I finally know what these ingredients are and actually look like. I’ve seen them hundreds of times in passing while shopping at the grocery store, but the names never clicked for me. Now, thanks to 17 Indian Spices A to Z, they’re vividly etched into my memory. >>> And now that I also know green cardamom is known to help retard cancer growth, I’m suddenly motivated to open the doors to the cupboards and dig out all of these spices. But I’m feeling a little stiff and sore from working late last night; I think I’ll pick up some ajwain (carom seeds) to put in my tea for their anesthetic effect!"
"VERY well done book. GREAT photos, and the text is well written. I was glad to learn about some spices I had heard of, but didn’t know how they were used. Thank you!"
