Good Reads: The Mistress of Spices: A Novel and a Movie

There are three things surely everyone knows about spices.

– One: Spices make food tastes really good!

– Two: Spices help you appreciate various cultures through their unique cuisines.

– Three: Spices have a fascinating history.

But there’s something else you might like to know about spices.

According to Tilo, the Mistress of Spices:

“Each spice has a special day to it. For turmeric it is Sunday, when light drips fat and butter-colored into the bins to be soaked up glowing, when you pray to the nine planets for love and luck.”

But what about the other days?

If you want to know the answer, you’ll have to read the book or watch the movie. :)

“Mythical and mystical, Mistress of Spices is reminiscent of fables and fairy tales.”

~ Booklist
