Gernot Katzer's Spice Pages
The author describes it as:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> On these pages, I present solid information on (currently) 117 different spice plants. Emphasis is on their usage in ethnic cuisines, particularly in Asia; furthermore, I discuss the history, chemical constituents and etymology of their names. Last but not least, there are numerous photos featuring the live plants or the dried spices.
