[Sca-cooks] CBS Sunday Morning

[Johnna Holloway]

I thought the actual segment was pretty good. It also reminded
me to get Michael Krondl's book ordered. It's finally out.
*The Taste of Conquest: The Rise and Fall of the Three Great Cities of Spice
*Haven't seen it in the bookstores yet.
We talked about him earlier this fall.

They talked about the differences of cinnamons, nutmeg as an hallucigen (which I had foundout in college... in the late 1960's), cloves, etc. The guy talking is the author of a book on the history of spices.
