Critics Review
Ian (Hemphill) is just like the godfather of spices in Australia, everything you need to know about spice is in this book… It’s a beautiful, beautiful book and it will become just like a bible for what to do with your spices.
–Jane de Graaff “TikTok” (12/5/2025 12:00:00 AM)Some home cooks are fearful about using spices. “How to Add Flavor: An Introduction to Spices and Herbs,” by Ian Hemphill and Kate McIntosh … will take that fear away by demystifying the seasoning process. For each of the 15 spices and herbs, the authors cover the aromas, flavors and pairings. A highlight of this title is “Spice and Herb Tutorial” where four recipes, each using one protein (chicken, beef, salmon, tofu), and how swapping out one spice or herb can changeup the dish.
