Pepper, king of the spices. Found in every kitchen and on every restaurant table pepper is a spice thatā€™s ā€˜just thereā€™. Today we take this spice for granted but this wasnā€™t always the case as great European powers fought over itā€™s control wanting to monopolise the trade and the wealth it brought. The Portuguese, Dutch and British sent countless sailors and soldiers on voyages to the mystical east. But they werenā€™t only there to trade and soon conflict and brutality would stain the history of pepper. We tell this story, taste some of the finest peppercorns available, test Roman and Greek medical recipes and explore how today pepper is being rediscovered as a power medicine.
