Book Description
From Booklist
A few years ago, the only fresh herb generally found in American supermarkets was parsley. Thanks to the growth of gardening, burgeoning ethnic populations, and increasing demand for fresh ingredients year round, cilantro, basil, and
arugula have become common market items. Norman carefully catalogs the spectrum of fresh culinary herbs, distinguishing the many varieties of basil and parsley as well as describing less familiar herbs, such as epazote and woodruff. Newly fashionable
Asian herbs get equal treatment. A brief chapter on edible flowers emphasizes that herbs decorate as well as perfume cooking. Norman provides simple recipes to help readers explore uses for herbs they encounter. Clear photographs and useful text
descriptions help cooks identify and understand the culinary role of each herb. Both cooks and gardeners will find this guide functional, attractive, and easy to use. Mark Knoblauch
Ingram
A full catalog of herbs is accompanied by two sections
of step-by-step recipes for classic dishes, as well as more than one hundred other mouth-watering original dishes, salads, deserts, herbal drinks, breads, preservatives, and relishes.
