Synopsis

This book is a gloriously illustrated celebration of herbs in all their beauty and variety. Herbs have been valued for thousands of years for their aromatic, health-giving and culinary qualities. Today, they are also loved as attractive additions to a garden, as a sweet-smelling form of decoration, and for their soothing and therapeutic effects. This book opens with profiles of the Super Herbs - 20 of the most popular varieties. Growing Herbs is then explored in detail. Living with Herbs offers a wealth of creative ideas for making the most of herbs in every room. There are 35 easy recipes for cooking with herbs and an A-Z of 75 common herbs, summarizing essential information about each plant's character and cultivation.
