Spices (and Herbs): The Variety of Life

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Sara Drower, Artist & World Traveler

Herbs and spices have a fascinating history across many cultures. Early trade routes led to global exploration and to colonizing countries that were the source of the rare, sought-after items. Learn how these plants were used in medicine, in religious worship, as cosmetics, and in flavoring food. See how they grow, how they are collected and processed, and how they were traded. Also explore how to cook with herbs and spices, how to store them, as well as how to identify them on a restaurant menu. There will even be some herbs and spices - from the common to the more exotic - to sample.
