A Whisper of Cardamom by Eleanor Ford

“This is a love letter between Sugar and Spice”
Spices are not only for savoury dishes! Explore their full potential in the collection of sweetly spiced bakes and desserts. Think of the warmth of nutmeg; the lemony notes of coriander; the fragrance of vanilla. Eleanor Ford blends them expertly into a series of gorgeous recipes with something for everyone.
