SPICE ISLANDS SPICE RACK—SEE BACK COVER

From Our Recipe File to Yours

From appetizers to desserts—it is our pleasure to share these choice recipes with you. We hope that you will make them as they were developed and tested—with the spices, herbs and seasonings of Spice Islands. You will appreciate why from the moment you open a Spice Islands jar.

For you who love to improvise with flavors and vary your own favorite recipes, an herb chart is included in this booklet. It is limited by space, but we think you will find it a useful guide in seasoning with herbs.

Remember—the purpose of an herb, like that of a spice, is to enhance, not dominate, the flavor of the food. So be selective when you experiment. Until the art of seasoning with herbs is mastered, use just one or two at a time.

Be especially sparing with the spices and herbs of Spice Islands, for they are exceptionally full-flavored. Only the finest of each species is used, and they come to you from Spice Islands exquisitely cured and radiantly fresh and fragrant.

SPICE ISLANDS HERBS are California grown on farms owned and operated by Spice Islands Company. In this way, select strains can be cultivated with a quality control impossible to duplicate. The fullest flavor of these herbs is yours because of the extreme care in growing, curing, and processing.

SPICE ISLANDS SPICES come from those faraway parts of the world where the finest grow—cinnamon from Viet Nam, nutmeg from the Isles of Banda, ginger from Jamaica, and pepper (such pepper!) from Java. Whatever it is, the very best is in your Spice Islands jar.

SPICE ISLANDS WINE VINEGARS are produced from fine wines of California’s Sonoma Valley, and have an incomparable bouquet and mellow tang. There is red wine vinegar plain or flavored with garlic, tarragon, or eschalot; white wine vinegar plain, flavored with basil, or a sprig float of tarragon.

SPICE ISLANDS TEAS are gathered at the peak of the season from the best gardens in Japan, Formosa, Indonesia, Ceylon, and India. There are eleven delectable blends—any will add an epicurean touch.

If the good things of life are for you, then let Spice Islands work its wonders in your cooking and enjoyment of good food.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 41 Watchung Plaza #516, Montclair NJ 07042, USA, +1 (862) 621-9288. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
