Why read it?

1 author picked Pepper as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

McFadden zooms in on a single spice. She has researched the subject in-depth, exploring the history, botany, and culinary potential of peppercorns and their spicy relatives. Half the book features peppery recipes (do try the fresh green peppercorn pickle) and, for me, the peppercorn tasting notes are a particular pleasure. 

From Eleanor's list on to spice up your shelves.
