　　Novice and seasoned gardeners alike will discover sprig upon

sprig of useful information in this rich combination herb

primer/cookbook. Drawing from her own organic gardening

experience--a 20-year labor of love inspired by an attempt to make

her family "entirely self-sufficient"--author Carole Ottesen tells

the story of growing and cooking with more than 100 healing herbs.

A helpful sketch of each plant shares a full page with its general

facts (including botanical name, use, and harvest time). After

Ottesen discusses her own relationship to the herb--buying Mexican

mint after her tarragon plants expired; discovering plants of gotu

kola for sale at the local garden center--she relates interesting

facts regarding the herb's historical use, its various healing

properties, whether it's approved by the German Commission E, and

how the little treasure prospered (or didn't) in her own garden.

She also offers a handful of savory recipes showcasing the featured

herb. Here, Ottesen's schooling at l'Academie de Cuisine in

Bethesda, Maryland, mixes delightfully with her wit and kitchen

savvy. Recipes range from entrées like Hyssop Chicken for Sadness

to simple accents (Carrots with Rosemary Butter); from tinctures

and teas to elegant desserts (The Only Good Fruitcake). Her cozy

writing style and true wealth of carefully detailed knowledge about

each herb make this guide much more than a mere cookbook or herbal

encyclopedia: each entry reads like a letter from a dear friend,

and a highly informed one at that. --Liane Thomas
