I have a tiny herb garden this year with some great neighbors. No clue what to do with some of them; I grabbed this book hoping to learn a bit more.

This was a fine breezy read with basic information on the most common herbs. It was aimed at beginners and I appreciated that. There were very simplified directions for growing and harvesting the herbs and not a lot of detail on ways to cook with them.

I guess my next stop will be a book on cooling with fresh herbs.

Great little reference guide to growing herbs, cooking with them, and using them in household/medicinal/beauty products. The amount of different herbs included is solid and wide-ranging, and the growing info is especially good. It helped me plan where everything will go in this year's garden, and I've not read anything that helped me do that before.
