Sophie Grigson's Spices is a romp through the major players of the spice world. She is on top form here, knowledgeable as ever, riotously funny in places and provides enough unusual recipes to make this a worthwhile buy. If you want to delve deeper, I recommend Sally Francis's Saffron. Francis is one of only two UK saffron producers and her book traces its history, as well as providing some recipes by fellow Norfolk dwellers including Tim Kinnaird's moorish gold, saffron and cardamom macarons.
