In her new book, "Grow Your Own Spices" (Cool Springs Press), Tasha Greer covers much of what you need to know to cultivate more than 30 different global spices. From easy-to-grow seed spices such as cumin, mustard and sesame, to root-based spices like wasabi, chicory and turmeric, Greer provides a good tutorial on how to grow your own organic spices from prepping the growing space, to planting through harvest and preparation. This makes it easy to decide what to grow this year and make wish lists for following seasons. While spices add culinary flare to cuisine, there is also evidence of their ability to fight inflammation and possibly reduce health risks. "Grow Your Own Spices" is also filled with historical facts on how these spices were used through the ages.
