This is a fascinating journey through the spice destinations of the world, demonstrating the role of spices in tourism development and diversification, the projection of attractive destination images and in supporting identities. This will be a valuable resource for all scholars of tourism and gastronomy, helping to broaden our understanding of foodways and their role in culture and tourism.

Lee Jolliffe has successfully assembled an erudite, global collection of essays that advance contemporary thinking about the crossover between vernacular heritage and tourism. This welcome assemblage is brimming with conceptual and empirical jewels that will inspire readers to consider the deeper implications of the 'ordinary' – herbs and spices, agriculture, cuisines, foodways, and intangible patrimony (e.g. fragrances, tastes, and traditions) – as a decisive element of the world's cultural heritage.

Through the pages of this volume the reader journeys through the myriad of medicinal and gastronomic uses of spices, becoming acquainted with countries near and far where spices are grown, consumed and experienced. At the end of it all, the reader is left wanting to not only experiment with spices in the kitchen, but to visit some of the exotic destinations where spices are grown like the spice island of the Caribbean, Grenada.
