4.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for incorporating herbs to enhance food, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

In addition to chapters dedicated to appetizers, beverages, condiments, breads, breakfasts, soup/stews, salads, vegetables, main dishes and desserts, helpful indexes and practical descriptions of each cooking herb offer an educating and useful introduction to 14 fresh and dried herbs. Herb farms and seed shops provided each recipe, and every one that I have prepared has been fairly simple and deliciously successful. This book provides an invigorating introduction for cooks learning to use herbs and is a gem of new ideas and tips for veteran cooks. I highly recommend the cookbook, with the only complaint being that the binding should have been spiral rather than straight-edged; spiral binding is easier to keep open and read when preparing a recipe. The recipes are a must-have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes and a great primer on herbs, September 30, 2007

By	Jenn L. (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Favorite Recipes With Herbs (Plastic Comb)

This recipe book is very informative. I plan to have an herb garden next spring and will be able to use many of them by following recipes in this book. Some of the recipes are very similar to each other as the book is a collection from people all over the United States but there is overall a wide variety of recipes. Most recipes provide equivalents for dried herbs as well, if you don't have access to fresh ones. The back of the book has a lot of information about each herb and the index is by herb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy, June 8, 2007

By	Kayla V. Bell (Danville, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Best herb cookbook I've ever used. Recipes are from herb farms across the country with readily available ingredients and concise instructions. Check out the Zucchini Torte and Herbed Potato Pie. The book also has a section on individual herbs...growing needs, how to use them, etc. A keeper.
