And on my recent trip to India, I had the pleasure of experiencing the vibrant and aromatic turmeric root spice.
 
It was an adventure in itself to explore the bustling spice markets of India, where vendors offered a wide array of spices, including turmeric root. As I held the freshly harvested turmeric in my hand, I couldn't help but wonder about its origins and the history behind this popular spice.
 
I learned that turmeric has been used in Indian cuisine and traditional medicine for thousands of years. It was believed to have healing properties and was used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat various ailments. Turmeric also played a significant role in Hindu religious rituals and ceremonies.
 
In addition to its health benefits, turmeric has a distinct flavor and color that adds a unique depth to any dish. I was excited to experiment with it in my galley on the yacht, and I came up with a delicious recipe that highlights its bold and earthy taste.
