[Sca-cooks] Spices, Spice Names

[Johnna Holloway]

You could of course just use Doc's list at

http://www.medievalcookery.com/spices.html

Page down and there is an A-Z list of the spices and herbs and in which 
cookbooks
they appear and which are handily included already in his index.
Plus who carries which spice is also listed.
It's like one stop shopping.

Hope this helps,

Johnnae
