Abstract

Each plant has a story, one that reflects the distance traveled from its ancient geographical origins, from wild to domesticated forms, and ultimately to culinary, cultural, medical, and social uses in the 21st century. Herbs and spices have taken these winding historical paths and the journeys reflect myriad of uses by widely different cultures as they ultimately reach our kitchens, serving plates, and palates.
