...You'll learn the importance of spices in trade and in history and how they helped to mould the world both through the wars that were fought and lost for them and in the lands that were discovered through the trade routes.

If you're interested in doing-it-yourself, we show you how to dye your clothes and how to make seet-smelling incense and soap, and for the gardener, there is a comprehensive section on how to grow spices. For the little trouble it takes to grow and tend these plants, you will be amply rewarded with an abundant supply of spices for your kitchen.
