[Sca-cooks] Spice Islands

[Devra at aol.com]

This month's Saveur Magazine has an article on food  of the Spice Islands. A 
prime example of change in food (almost every recipe  includes large numbers 
of Thai chilie peppers) the article has something very  nice: photos of whole 
fresh nutmegs in their fleshy casings, fresh galangale,  and fresh tumeric. 
Their comments on the shelf life of spices are also very  -um-enlightening.
