The herbs of Provence -- those aromatic herbs in earthenware crocks that are the hallmark of Provencal cuisine -- enliven almost any dish. Herbes de Provence brings the flavors and fragrances of the French countryside into kitchens everywhere with this wonderful collection of home recipes from Ethel Brennan. From savory main dishes to sweet scented cakes, here are 30 dishes made delicious with such herbs as rosemary, sage, bay, fennel, juniper, lavender, thyme, and winter savory. Half of the recipes highlight a particular herb used fresh; the other half offer instructions for drying and mixing three special versions of herbes de Provence, and then use them in a host of delectable dishes. Herbes de Provence shares the simple secrets Provencal cooks have enjoyed for centuries.

Review
Thyme, lavender, sage, and fennel-there are just a few of the herbs associated with southern France, and they get star billing in 'Herbes de Provence,' by Ethel W. Brennan. The petite cookbook includes recipes that showcase fresh and dried blends. We enjoyed the unusual flavor of the moist, aromatic rosemary spice cake. -- Chicago Tribune
