After reading books by Susan Wittig Albert I became interested in spicing up my meals with home grown herbs, but didn't really know how to get started. Susan mentioned Marge Clark as a good reference source in one of her books, so I ordered this book, "It's About Thyme" and was delighted to find lots of information about growing different herbs as well as delicious recipes. It's written in an easy to understand style from someone who obviously knew what she was talking about. I attended an herbal luncheon recently where Susan Albert was the guest speaker and the chicken breast entree was topped with pesto mayonaise made from one of Marge's recipes. Delicious! I also highly recommend Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles series for all of you "who-dunnit" fans!

I love this book. When I got it in the mail I did just what the title of this review says. I curled up with my favorite quilted throw, with a nice warm cup of tea, in my cozy chair and read this book of recipes from cover to cover. I love herbs. I am also a fan of China Byles mysteries. If you love herbs and know nothing about how to grow them (and keep them alive) then this little book is for you. This past christmas I bought a gallon of olive oil and ten small corked bottles. I poured the olive oil in them with some sprigs of Thyme and Rosemary and gave them away as gifts with a cute little tag. It was an instant hit! This book just takes you to another world all together.
