Welcome to Gernot Katzer’s Spice Pages

On these pages, I present solid information on (currently) 117 different spice plants. Emphasis is on their usage in ethnic cuisines, particularly in Asia; furthermore, I discuss their history, chemical constituents, and the etymology of their names. Last but not least, there are numerous photos featuring the live plants or the dried spices.

To navigate through my site, use the search engine, browse the indices or go to the list of all spices.

I am on an extended journey that leads me through the Indian subcontinent. To learn more of my past travelling route, and to see some pictures from well-known and lesser knows places in India, open the contact page. Also, for those able to read German, I regularly publish updates to my travelogue which currently holds about 150 entries about places in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, and their foods.
