Culinary Herbs and Spices: A Global Guide
Dr Opara had an interest in medicinal plants, so I decided to pitch a specific
research project idea concerning the impact of food processing and cooking on the antioxidant properties of a selection of culinary herbs and spices, rather than select one of the undergraduate research topics offered that year. This project idea was not only warmly welcomed and approved but was eventually awarded a first-class grade and successfully published. This then led to the development of my PhD thesis, and my career as an academic, from which further publications and research projects emerged over the past fifteen years.
