Hello, What's This Spices Blog?

No - this isn't really a stand-alone blog about herbs and spices. It's an appendix of my food blog: Aidan Brooks: Trainee Chef containing all my pages on spices. These are in a separate file because they have a different format from the main section.

That's why this looks odd - it's not meant to be read chronologically but as a series of hyperlinked articles. It would be best to check out my food blog, but you are very welcome to browse here if you want.

I'm pleased to announce that, after almost five years of intermittent effort, I've completed the first pass of work my spice section. I'll be doing a lot of tidying up, new research and corrections in the coming period. For more information about a given spice, click on the appropriate link:
