For centuries Herbs and Spices have been an integral part of
many of the world's great cuisines. The term "spices" is often used
to include all seasonings.
Spices come from the bark, roots, leaves, stems, buds, seeds, or
fruit of aromatic plants and trees which usually grow only in tropical
countries. Pepper, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger, saffron,
and turmeric are spices.
Herbs are soft, succulent plants which usually grow in
the temperate zone. Until recently cooks have had to make do with very few
fresh herbs, such as sage, parsley, and thyme.
Nowadays we can also find fresh basil, coriander, chervil, tarragon, rosemary, and dill. Herbs-Treat and Taste is about herbs and spices and their uses in medicine and cookery. It gives recipes and information which enable people to have a healthier diet which can prevent certain illnesses and alleviate symptoms such as a cough, sore throat etc. Food Plant is define as a plant (as wheat, potato, cabbage) some part of which provides food for human consumption.
