The Incredible Spice Men

Rate this book
Easy, everyday recipes show you how to put the magic of spice into your mealtimes—and give the food you love a new lease on life Acclaimed chefs Tony Singh and Cyrus Todiwala are on a mission to wake Britain up to the versatility of spices. For too long, our spices have sat unused and dusty in cupboard shelves, when just a mere sprinkling of cumin, a dash of turmeric, or a handful of star anise has the power to turn our everyday food into an explosion of tastes and smells. Tony and Cyrus have taken to the road, exploring the British Isles and adding their own spicy twist to the UK's most classic and best-loved dishes. Try jazzing up a Sunday roast chicken with a honey and ginger, adding a cumin and coriander kick to a shepherd's pie, or lacing a Victoria sponge with aromatic fennel seeds and cardamom.With delicious, everyday recipes accompanied by Cyrus and Tony's top tips and favorite spices, The Incredible Spice Men will demystify the contents of your spice rack, and open your everyday cooking up to a world of exciting new flavors.

Highly recommended for inspiration and fascinating information. I had to get into the kitchen to try out some of the recipes as soon as I could.

This is one of those books that you look at, re-look at and then realise that you are not going to have your mouth blown off with super-hot chillies. A fantastic book that challenges your own perception of how to cook.

My favourite recipe is the fish and chips. A classic twist on a classic dish that when I cooked it for friends, they wanted more.

A beautiful book, that not only did I read from cover to cover and am now working my way through cooking each dish.

I bought this as a direct result of seeing the TV programme of the same name.

The book hasn't disappointed, containing some great recipes and interesting ways of blinging up traditional British fare.

It's beautifully designed too, and I am a sucker for good design as well as great cooking.
