Like its companion volume, The Produce Bible, this must-have book also features more than 250 recipes—for appetizers, soups, entrees, side dishes, breads, desserts, and more—that highlight each ingredient’s distinctive taste and character. Carrot soup with caraway butter, seared salmon with sesame and cucumber, and beef filet poached in Asian-spiced broth are among the delectable dishes presented here, all created with flavorful spices and easily mastered by any cook.
The book also includes tips on purchasing and storing spices, along with sections on spice mixes and pastes such as curry, zaatar, and chermoula. Filled with evocative photographs throughout, The Spice Bible is an invaluable resource for anyone looking for a pinch of personality in their cooking—or a dash of inspiration.

Not really what I was expecting...
This is a beautiful book, and is well made. The problem is, there isn't much info about the spices themselves. I was hoping for more of an encyclopedia. I mean, I know it had recipes -- I had read the description. But recipes is ALL that is has. The descriptions of the spices are one page, and in big type. And the recipes themselves are okay, but nothing spectacular. I can find recipes for fattoush anywhere. I was hoping for recipes for various rubs, sauces, seasoning mixes, etc. It's definitely not going to be the spice "bible" I had hoped it would.
The Spice Bible
Great book. Fascinating information and unique recipes that make it a must for every kitchen library. I like the layout and the interesting descriptions regarding the history of each spice. I have not seen any like it and the information alone makes it a treasure but the special recipes make it all the more a "must have." I am pleased it is on my shelf among many others I can't do without.

The book is a treasure for anyone who wants an education in the world of spices. There were many that I had never heard of but have purchased and I'm delighted with the results. If you buy this book you will not be disappointed.
