... this book's utility is as a condensed summary of likely avenues of interest for people working with the described plants, or an engaging read that could lead to research inspirations. It may also fulfill its mission of encouraging use of a wider range of culinary ingredients. -Susanne Masters, University of Kent, in Economic Botany, 2013 The book is certainly a pleasure to read. It is filled with colorful cultural references and fascinating facts about the plants and their products. I laughed out loud when I read the descriptions of the flavor of durian, ...French custard passed through a sewer pipe. The book would be welcome on the shelf in reading rooms of botanic gardens, garden clubs and culinary groups. Plant descriptions are not comprehensive in a botanical sense, but the text would be suitable to courses in economic botany, human culture and agriculture. -Eric La Fountaine, Accessions Technician, UBC Botanical Garden in The Canadian Botanical Association Bulletin, September/Septembre 2014.
