“This book is the result of years of practical experience, knowledge and research by two well-known authors, and brings to light many new ideas and possibilities for the uses of herbs and spices.  Its comprehensive information, gathered from a wealth of world literature, both ancient and modern, will answer all questions on every aspect of herbs and spices – their history and traditions, cultivation, and uses for cooking, health and cosmetic purposes.
The book deals with 138 individual herbs and spices in detail, giving in each case a brief history of the plant, cultivation and storage information, its practical uses, as well as a simple recipe for each.”
