The Nutmeg Trail

I received a free digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Definitely more of a cookbook than a history book, The Nutmeg Trail explores the world's most sought after spices throughout history. Between each mini history lesson is a selection of recipes that include the featured spice, starting with ginger and making way towards lemongrass and rose petals.

I genuinely enjoyed this. The interweaving of history between each recipe kept me browsing and there was more than one recipe I bookmarked for later. Ford has done her homework, and the historical background of each spice is easy to follow without being watered down.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in cooking and cuisine.
