Spices are the fastest, easiest way to transform a dish from good to spectacular. In his new book, Lior Lev Sercarz, the country's most sought-after spice expert, shows you how to master flavor in 250 inspiring recipes, each counting on spices to elevate this collection of everyday and new favorites. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Spices are the magic ingredient in Lior Lev Sercarz's newest book, Mastering Spice, and all it takes is a pinch to bring your meatballs, roast chicken, or brownies to the next level. Owner of New York City spice shop La Boîte, and a professionally trained chef who has cooked at some of the world's most renown restaurants, Lior's simple and straightforward approach showcases how spices and spice blends can take a recipe for chicken soup, meatballs, or brownies into a whole new and exciting direction. Every section begins with a master recipe and technique--then Lior teaches readers how to change the spices or some of the ingredients to get a profoundly different dish than what you began with. By mastering the techniques and playing with the variations, you'll learn how to use spices to become a more creative and intuitive cook, and how spices can endlessly heighten your eating experience.

Wer sich für die Welt der Gewürze interessiert
ist mit diesem englisch-sprachigen Buch gut bedient. Früher kannte ich vor allem Pfeffer und Salz sowie ein paar typische Gartenkräuter. Lior Sercarz führt verständlich in die Welt der Gewürze ein und beschreibt genau was man damit machen kann. Die Rezepte sind gut nachvollziehbar, einfach nach zu kochen und eröffnen geschmacklich neue Welten. Viele der eingesetzten Gewürze muss man allerdings im Internet bestellen da sie im normalen Handel nicht erhältlich sind. Auch meine Englisch-Kenntnisse haben sich verbessert, endlich weiss ich was fenugrek und caraway bedeutet und kann Fahrenheit in Celsius umrechnen. Der Schreibstil ist unterhaltend und mit tollen Bildern aufgelockert, man kann das Buch auch einfach mal so lesen.

Fantastic toolkit
I'm really horrible at following recipes religiously. This book is pretty much made for my 'digging through a cookbook for the tool I need right now' approach. "Hmm, I have some squash but want to do something other than just roast it up. This has recipes for both carrot soup and sweet potato puree that would translate well to using squash instead. And look, the variants on the carrot soup include using it as pasta sauce. Spicy squash pasta for dinner tonight." The spice blends run from fairly obvious parings (garlic/basil/rosemary/tomato) to ones I wouldn't have tried on my own (raisins with coriander/fennel? Made a winter veggie salad sing) and thus gives me some new mental groupings of spices to improvise with. As a vegetarian, I'm also really appreciative that a rather small section is devoted to meat dishes, and pleased to have a whole section that includes eggs, which tend to be neglected in cookbooks. I've been pulling this out regularly since I bought it.
