"Hill . . . is way ahead of cookbook authors who cling to parsley in a cilantro world. . . . This is the book for anyone who has been lucky enough to find grains of paradise or Aleppo pepper and wonders where to go from there." —Regina Schrambling, Los Angeles Times "Even those who never cook may find themselves often dipping into this intriguing read." —CeCe Sullivan, The Seattle Times Review: Fascinating Book - The author of this book, Tony Hill, is the owner of World Merchants Spices, Herbs & Teahouse in the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle. This makes him eminently qualified to write about spices and herbs. Not only does he provide detailed information about the spice or herb itself, he also includes its history, how to use it, and recipes. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy experimenting using herbs and spices and learning about them in detail. Review: For people who want to learn about spices. - I saw another reviewer say that it is more for a beginner cook. Perhaps this is true, but we all have to start somewhere, right? This book is great for those who are maybe just getting into the culinary world and don't know all of the names of the spices and where they come from. The author talks about what they taste like, look like, where they come from, what kinds of dishes they are normally used in and even includes some recipes and photos. I had purchased a very extensive spice collection for my boyfriend and purchased the book to accompany it. I ended up sitting with the book and the jars of spices and trying all of the different flavors as I read the book. It helped my understanding of the different herbs and spices, and was definitely interesting. ## Features - The Spice Lovers Guide To Herbs Spices By Hill Tony ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,661,356 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #327 in Game Cooking #757 in Sauces & Toppings Cooking #758 in Chocolate Baking | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Images ![The Spice Lover's Guide To Herbs And Spices - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719YjJ+KjyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating Book *by M***O on November 20, 2021* The author of this book, Tony Hill, is the owner of World Merchants Spices, Herbs & Teahouse in the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle.

It is full of easily accessible information, including botanical names, help with finding how to mix many ethnic blends, and other information. I wish I had it on my IPad to carry with me when running into the occasional nursery that carries unusual plants or a new ethnic spice store! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2157140-the-spice-lovers-guide-to-herbs-and-spices](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2157140-the-spice-lovers-guide-to-herbs-and-spices) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
