5.0 out of 5 stars The best herb cookbook I've ever seen., November 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Thymes (Hardcover)

I had known and been a fan of Marge Clark for several years, and it was with great saddness that we lost our gardening sister last summer. As with all her cookbooks, Best of Thymes is tried and true. I have yet to try a recipe that wasn't excellent, creative and lovely. Who would think of adding basil to a nectarine lemonade? Brilliant! The cookbook is also very readable with many delightful comments in the margins. Thank you, Marge, for this and your other three cookbooks during your time here on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superior cookbook and gardening guide all in one., October 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Thymes (Hardcover)

The Best of Thymes should be in the Top Ten cookbooks in America! You can't beat it. This book is often billed as an herb cookbook. It's that, but so much more. There is a plethora of gorgeous, delicious recipes for anyone who likes to cook or eat! Not all recipes are herbal but many are. By herbal, I mean they contain wonderful flavoring agents like rosemary, thyme, sage, etc. - those great enhancers that gourmet cooks have relied on forever to create wonderful taste sensations. It is also packed with informative growing and use information. And it's beautiful to look at. Food lovers of all kinds should have this book. You won't need any other.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate in delectable dining and herbal insights., August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Thymes (Hardcover)

The size of this book is the first thing that impresses you, then the exquisite water color illustrations. But that's just the beginning. This is jam-packed with mouth-watering recipes that run the culinary gamut! As an extra plus, there is concise, accurate growing information for the most popular herbs featured here. Marge Clark has definitely done it again! Her award-winning Christmas Thyme At Oak Hill Farm seemed to be the last word in the culinary arts. Not so. The Best of Thymes is on equal footing! If you love to cook and/or eat, you'll want this!
