Spices of Life and Herbs, Too! - Luisa Fortunato

Spices & Herbs: what's the difference?Spices are hot and spicy, and herbs are, well, 'herby,' right? Not exactly. Spices come from the seeds of a plant, but herbs come from the leaves or roots. So, juniper, vanilla, coffee, and chocolate, are spices, but not spicy, whereas curry leaves and ginger, though quite spicy, are herbs. A good reason for abandoning the distinction, as I have done in this cookbook.Spices of Life and Herbs, Too! contains 87 recipes, each featuring a different herb or spice..
