The Herb Society of America's Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking with Herbs (Voices of the South) Hardcover – Import, 30 September 2007

I received this book as a gift since I have recently begun growing my own herbs. The basic info about the herbs is interesting and helpful but the recipes are fantastic. Usually cookbook recipes are hit or miss but every recipe I've tried was good and most exceptionally so. I loved this book so much that I got one for my daughter who also loves to cook and use fresh herbs.

This is a very good book for people who are looking for a practical guide on the use and growing of herbs. It is not a flashy book but has information that I have not found elsewhere such as lists of herbs grown in the National Herb gardens. Although the recipes are not extensive, the ones included are interesting and unusual.This is a wonderful book to add to a collection of herb books but could easily be the only book a person would need to get started with herbs.

and in conversational style prose. I was so taken by a few paragraphs that my friend shared w/ me from her book, that I ordered one for myself and all my children! Every home should have a copy; a great reference book.

Filled with new and interesting information about herbs that I did not know. Tried a couple of the included recipes and definitely will be trying more of them!

The single best book about herbs I've ever purchased. Informative and historical in substance. Simply wonderful..!
