How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars i can only say GET OUT AND BUY A COPY
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2022

What an amazing book. Spice detective work and historical facts that simply blew my mind. I cannot wait for this to be released so that i can purchase copies for myself and my friends. Highly recommend this book.
The recipes are so well researched but anyone can produce recipes, to me this is a book full of little known facts that introduce many new spices that I cannot wait to see if I can purchase to try them.
As i write this review i have ow purched copies for a few of my friends who have already said how amazing it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a revelation!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2022

I love cooking with spice but this book was a revelation! It tells you so much about spices and their origins, as well as their uses and contributions to dishes. We have had so many good dishes from this book, the recipes are characterised by simple process but great depth of flavour. I also like the suggestions on recipes for accompaniments and complimentary sides. The rewards of the recipes outweigh the effort needed in my experience. I don't think I have ever cooked so many dishes from a single recipe book so I have just taken delivery of Eleanor's first book Fire Island, it looks just as exciting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and wonderful recipes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2022

I bought this book in hardback, it is much more than a recipe book and really does take you on a culinary journey. I have a broken arm which means it's difficult to cook at the moment and difficult to read a heavy book. No problem in the first instance - DH who until now was an occasional cook, has used several of the recipes and they have ALL been successful. No problem in the second instance, I love this book so much that I have also bought it in kindle format.
I highly recommend this book (could you tell?)

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite book ever purchased
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2022
Verified Purchase
I have hundreds of recipe books and honestly this is my favourite ever. I am an experienced cook with almost 50 years experience. I must say this is an absolutely excellent book. If you like experimenting and using many spices, herbs, homemade marinades, rubs and a wonderful selection of ingredients. If it was possible to submit more *s I would say 10 *

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book: Fantastic recipes that deepen every cooks’ knowledge of spice use

Another fantastic book by Eleanor Ford. Recipes are easy but deliver the most amazing taste profile. Several have already become firm family favourites like tandoori chicken. The book has also helped me deepen my understanding of spices! I have already gifted this book to several friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recipes and a delightful read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2022
Verified Purchase
I was expecting the recipes to be good, and they were - those I have tested so far have all been simple to make but with a real flavour punch. I have felt inspired to get back in the kitchen again. The writing and other parts of the book were a pleasant surprise. There are spice flavour charts, lots of interesting cooking tips and a brilliant timeline of spice at the back of the book.

Highly recommended. I have bought more as gifts.

This is the book to have if you love spices, big flavours and good food. The book is so beautifully done, amazingly written. I cannot imagine how much research went into it. The recipes are easy to follow, delicious to eat and as you can see from my pictures, very pretty to look at too😊.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for South East Asian food lovers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2022

A brilliant book, recipes are well explained and easy to follow. It’s way more than a cookbook, with detailed explanations and history of spices, how to use them, how to combine them. I bought it as it was cookbook of the month in June in the great British chefs cookbook club, and I still keep on cooking from it and will keep on!
There are recipes of every kind: quick preparations, dinner parties, more elaborate… really cannot recommend it enough 😊
