1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 6 April 2006
By A Customer
Having bought the first book, and visited the restaurant a couple of times, I was delighted when I found out the World Food Cafe had launched another book. The restaurant is vegetarian, as are the recipes in the first book. But this book is full of meat and fish recipes so is totally inappropriate and came as a bit of a shock.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating book showing how spices steered our history, 10 Sep 2001
By Delora Jones (American_cooking@compuserve.com) (Burton upon Trent, Staffs., England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spice Routes (Hardcover)
I recommend this book not only to people with an interest in food, but to those who love history. Our past is normally related according to how wars affected it, so it is very refreshing to read about history with a new insight, and to learn things such as why certain exotic spices have become commonplace, while others are still relatively foreign to us. Also, the photographs are stunning.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice photographs, shame about the rest, 21 Aug 2002
This review is from: The Spice Routes (Hardcover)
I bought this book hoping it would be what it says on the cover: chronicles and recipes from around the world.

On the surface, it is exactly that. The recipes seem fine and the photographs are very pretty, but that's where my positive remarks end.

The writing is unstructured and inconsistent. It hops from history to travel narrative without warning. The authors refer to themselves as I and sometimes We and it is never quite clear what's going on. The travel writing consists of small incidents which maybe you might tell a friend over coffee but are not substantial enough to put into a book. And anyway they have little to do with spices.

The information content is minimal.

I can't escape the impression that the book project was dreamt up as a way to pay for what was no doubt a fun trip around the world.

I was looking for a book written in an easy style with full information about the spices, good recipes and an interesting, well-written travelogue. "The Spices Routes" is not that book. 2 Stars for the pretty photos, but for me that wasn't enough...
