4.0 out of 5 stars
Had to have one for myself,

This review is from: A Handful of Herbs: Gardening, Cooking, and Decorating (Paperback)
I bought this book as a gift, but had to buy two so I could keep one. It covers all the standard herbs in the standard way, but what stands out in this little book are the photos of some very creative uses for the herbs. The "cooking with herbs" section is also well done and I've actually used some of the recipes! The print is very small, but the typeface is clear and simple so that helps to keep it readable.
5.0 out of 5 stars
