n interesting combination between travelogue and narrative history. The author travels to various locations to research the growing and use of spices. Along the way he goes into the history of spice. After a brief introduction he infuses several pages with the history of Venice as it relates to spices and spice trade. Sailing into the spice related conquests of Portugal which, like Venice, used religion as an excuse for making profit he adds to the culinary effects of the spice trade. The Dutch dropped the religion excuse as they savor the benefits of the capitalist corporate model. The conclusion brings us to the modern day with the adjustment of spice mixtures to modern tastes. Seasoned with interesting information, this work is an easily digested taste of culinary history.
