Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Fresh herbs enliven salads and soups, meats and breads, desserts and beverages, say herb supplier Gilbertie (Kitchen Herbs) and Oster (Herbal Vinegar), in this recipe collection jam-packed with interesting food facts and notes of caution. The useful sidebars and subtitles include the warning alongside Sorrel Vichyssoise, for example, that sorrel should be eaten sparingly because of its high oxalic content. We also learn that marjoram substitutes for oregano if a milder taste is preferred in Chicken Ragout with Olives, Oregano and Cilantro, and that the bittersweet flavor of lavender, ordinarily used as a scent, can enhance egg dishes, soups, salads and desserts. Recipes are an eclectic blend of current food interests?from updates on American classics like Arugula Burgers and Blueberry-Sage Muffins to such international-style offerings as Malaysian Rice, a Middle Eastern-inspired Grilled Salmon with Burnet-Yogurt Sauce and the tropical Mango/Papaya/Mint Mousse. Oster's photographs deliver visual inspiration, and a handy quick-reference guide advises on how to cultivate 60 herbs. The chapter on year-round container gardening is key to the enterprise, however, as many herbs showcased here have a limited availability. BOMC/The Good Cook selection.

From Library Journal
Horticulturist Oster is the author of numerous books, including several other cookbooks; Gilbertie, who runs a wholesale herb business, is also the author of several titles on herbs. In their well-written collaboration, they offer 100 delicious and fresh recipes, along with growing and culinary information on herbs from anise to violet. And they detail container gardening?both indoors and out?so that even city dwellers should find the horticultural material of as much interest as the recipes. Recommended.
