Here's what chefs are saying about La Boîte spices
If you think of spices as what’s in those jars that have been in your pantry for the last decade, think again. With Lior Lev Sercarz’s guide, you’ll want to roast and grind your own—and you’ll wonder why you never did it before! I can practically smell his amazing spice blends just reading this book.
Ina Garten
Spices can often be the unsung heroes of the kitchen. They are given the full orchestra here, and the results are bright and loud. This is a book I’ll be reaching for often.
Yotam Ottolenghi
No one knows spices better than Lior: no one has better ideas about how to cook with them and no one has written a spice book as exciting as this one. The Spice Companion will be my kitchen companion for years to come—bet it will be yours, too.
Dorie Greenspan
I have known Lior for many years and have always been impressed by his understanding of how to season food to develop nuanced flavors; he is a true spice master. This book lays out his remarkable knowledge in a visually impressive and fascinating way, and I am thrilled to add it to my collection.

Lior Lev Sercarz is more than a great chef; he’s a modern-day kitchen magician. The Spice Companion reveals his secrets in a stunning, thoughtful, and indispensable guide that at once informs, transports, and inspires. You will look at your pantry, and your next meal, in a whole new light—with an added pinch of adventure!
Gail Simmons
Lior takes readers on a spice filled journey through trusted recipes that are augmented with acute sense of taste and flavor. You will never look at your spice cabinet the same way again.
Tom Colicchio
Lior has done such a beautiful job of simplifying and explaining the rules of what identifies as a spice and how to use them. By learning about spices, you can literally take the same dish and just by switching the spices give it a completely new look, which Lior has done so brilliantly in his book.
Eden Grinshpan
Lior's expertise transcends food and spices. He is a master at his craft, and not only inspires readers culinarily but also invited them into his heart. A must-have for your home library.
Michael Solomonov

Daniel Boulud
Because of Lior, I rebuilt my own home pantry and expanded my palate as a cook. Lior has brought me a revived sense of adventure in my cooking and he will do the same for you. Thank you, Lior, you've spiced up my life immeasurably.
