Travelling via food writing. Lots of fresh herbs in these recipes—3, 4 or even 6 bunches for one dish—it's quite exhilarating. Add cinnamon, pomegranate seeds, mulberries, rose petals & saffron.

Lots of anecdotes & travel photos plus an extensive glossary. Wish I could find blue fenugreek somewhere...
