A great Christmas present- if you can bear to part with it (Alan Titchmarsh, Daily Mail). Jekka's complete herb book is one I often turn to for quick information about the wide variety of herbs gardeners can grow. She gives excellent advice about propagation, different species and varieties, and other aspects of herb culture, with wonderful culinary ideas as well. --Barbara Damrosch, Washington Post

This is all-time classic gardening bestseller with over 350 varieties of herb to grow and over 200 delicious and inventive recipes. It is a spread-by-spread reference work bringing together all aspects of an individual herb - history and folklore, species to grow and cosmetic, medicinal and culinary uses. Chapters on propagation, harvesting and making herb oils are complemented with ideas for ten different designs for herb gardens and a unique yearly calendar.
