The Encyclopedia of Seasoning: 350 Marinades, Rubs, Glazes, Sauces, Bastes and Butters for Every Meal (Encyclopedia Cookbooks)

Another enjoyable book to read - u can certainly learn a lot by reading books like these

This is an amazing compendium of spice ingredients that will enhance any dishes you want to make?

This was purchased as a gift. I wasn’t expecting it to be so good. I thought it would have more pictures than deals but it’s packed with seasoning ideas, butters, jams, and so much more. It’s hard cover so feels like a quality book.

This book provides endless inspiration for cooking with spices. I have just bought an air fryer and this was an ideal companion as I have started to use rubs a lot more. The only criticism I would have is that I think they could have provided more guidance (and tailored the index) to suggest which blends go well with particular foods ie it would be nice to have an index which said “blends for fish, blends for pork” etc. You really need to sit down and work through the book making a note of which ones appeal to you.

Have made one seasoning it tastes not so bad I hope I can try again.

It’s literally like an encyclopaedia, absolutely massive . I would say that may be the reason why I don’t use it more often

So much I didn’t know about the world of spices! Very interesting book

What a great easy to read layout, and it covers all recipes. It was a present and they loved it.

A good variety of spice mixtures and helpful in creating your own version. Several nice recipes and good advice.

It's a big book with interesting seasoning combinations but it would be good if the categories were based on meat or seafood type. Otherwise it's not that easy to navigate.

I GUESS THE RECIPIENTS OF THESE BOOKS WILL ENJOY THEM

There are many good things about the book (see below). So why only 2 stars? Do you know what you would use Dzikil P'aak Sauce use for? Or Pipian Rojo? Well I don't, ya I could ask the internet. But that is not how I cook. Now what is the missing ingredient of this book? The recipies do not have recomendations what they could be used for and there is no index that would tell you either. Lets say you want to make pork rips and you are looking for a delicious rub, unless you know the name of a rub you will not find it. The index contains mostley ingedients thus you can look up what you can do with oregano, but you will not be able to find rubs that go with your pork ribs. For me that makes the book almost useless. What I like about the book: - Good quality paper, print, and binding - great pictures - no fluff recipes - the amount of recipes

Lots of recipes to choose from
