“Rosemary Hemphill is an expert on the history and cultivation of herbs, and in Fragrance and Flavour she shares with others her knowledge of these varied and lovely plants.  She has collected here the most delectable of her recipes, as well as ideas for gifts such as aromatic bath sachets, clove oranges, scented note-paper, and other pretty conceits.  Her book is a treasury of information, and as helpful in practical ways as it is charming in appearance.”
