★★☆☆☆
A beautifully produced book
I’m afraid the writer has not done all his homework. Or the editors were just not vigilant enough. Within five minutes I had picked out a serious error. On page 184 he states that pink peppercorns are the seeds of Piper nigrum picked after fully ripening. (White peppercorns are the same species but have had their outer coat removed. Green peppercorns are the same species pickeled in vinegar.) But Pink Peppercorns are a completely different species, Schinus terebinthifolius ( I have three of these bushes in my arboretum in Venezuela). Also there is a serious omission. The Makrut Lime, Citrus hystrix, available in small packets of live leaves at most English supermarkets and an essenetial spice in the far east, is just mentioned once on page 46 just stating that most households in Thailand have a tree (as I do here)
