[Mason · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun compendium of the history behind our common garden herbs, though some of her language has not aged well over the intervening years since publication.

[Cherie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A library discard, def dated, but interesting facts and some recipes that sound good.

[rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

A compact and/or entertaining resource. Fairly upbeat.
