Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you have an herb garden or just like to cook with a lot of herbs you will enjoy this book of recipes that feature herbs. Each herb gets its own chapter with recipes that focus on that particular one. The herbs covered in the book include Basil, Dill, Oregano, Coriander, Tarragon, Chives, Rosemary, Bay Leaf, Thyme, Sage, Parsley, Savory, Fennel, Garlic, and Ginger. As a particular fam of Dill I had to try the Dill butter with Garlic (great of fresh bread) and Dill Dip. It even includes some complete meal plans that focus on a particular herb. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, the additional information on each of the herbs and how to use them is excellent, and the final results delicious. Basil to Thyme: Culinary Endeavors from the Garden to the Kitchen is highly recommended for those who want to add the use of herbs to their repertoire of cooking knowledge.

Two of America's most loved pastimes, cooking and gardening, come together in this delightful collection of recipes. The first chapters of the book teach readers how to plant and cultivate their own fresh herbs. The authors show that we can all enjoy the wonderful scent of lavender, the refreshing, cool aroma of mint, or the delicate taste of chervil...no matter how large or small our herb garden. The remaining chapters highlight the history, lore and health benefits of a featured herb, followed by recipes to accent and feature its wonderful fresh flavor. A few extra pages in each chapter allow green thumbs and chefs to add, modify or create their own recipes. A planting calendar concludes the book, giving both experienced and novice gardeners a quick and easy planting guide for a successful herb garden.
