Synopsis

"Spice Grinding Days" explores the rich history and cultural significance of hand-ground spices, tracing their journey from cultivation to culinary use. It argues that the transition to commercially processed spices represents a loss of both cultural heritage and sensory experience. Did you know that hand grinding was once a deeply embedded social ritual? Or that many believe it unlocks essential oils and aromas more effectively than industrial methods? The book investigates the evolution of spice preparation techniques, the unique tools used, and the cultural impact on traditional meals.

The book uniquely blends historical analysis with culinary exploration, presenting a multi-faceted understanding of spice preparation. Examining regions such as India, Morocco, and the Caribbean, the book details iconic spice blends like garam masala, ras el hanout, and jerk seasoning.

Beginning with spice cultivation and trade routes, the book progresses to specific regional spice blends, concluding with practical guidance on sourcing quality spices and incorporating hand-grinding techniques into modern cooking. Exploring the sensory differences between hand-ground and commercially processed spices, "Spice Grinding Days" provides a valuable resource for food enthusiasts, culinary students, and anyone interested in the history of food. Drawing from historical cookbooks, trade documents, and interviews, it aims to foster a deeper appreciation for traditional spice preparation methods and their role in shaping our culinary landscape.

An American woman determined to learn the Arabic language travels to the Middle East to pursue her dream in this “witty memoir” (Us Weekly).  
Join Zora O’Neill for a grand tour through the Middle East, to laugh with her in Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the Gulf region, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in Lebanon and Morocco.

Summer at Tiffany

Marjorie Hart

Do you remember the best summer of your life? 
New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor—a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's—and the envy of all their friends. 
Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique; and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Café society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.
