Great herb/indoor gardening book!
1 Dec 2006
Format:Hardcover
"The Healing Kitchen - An Indoor Herb-Garden Pharmacy for Cooks" is a small, excellent book for gardeners, particularly those of us who enjoy container &/or indoor gardening. After a brief introduction, the book is divided into chapters for each of the following herbs: Sweet Basil, Curly Chervil, Garlic Chives, Dill, French Lavender, Ginger, Italian Parsley, Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena, Sweet Marjoram, Mizuna, Nasturtium, Peppermint, Rosemary, Sage & Thyme. Each chapter starts with a one-page line drawing, description of the herb & its uses in cooking & healing, an excellent photo, & a one-page how-to describing the (brief) Botany, the container to use, how to plant, Light, Temperature, Water & Food and When to Harvest. Each chapter ends with one page each of an "food" recipe and a "healing" recipe using the chapter's featured herb.
This book has everything anyone needs to successfully grow herbs in containers indoors. The writing is easy to understand & follow, the photos are excellent, the instructions for growing & the recipes are succint. It gets right down to it, without any superfluous or complicated nonsense. The book is only 80 pages long, and that's all it needs to be!
The only difficulty is that the book came out in 1996 & is out of print. I discovered it through the public library. To order it, you must use Amazon's used book merchants, which I'm doing now, because I liked the book so much. I consider the book a must-have, alongside my various Taylor's Gardening guides.

Great herbal Book.
5 Sep 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book gives instructions on growing, gathering and using your herbs. Each herb is divided into it's own section for growing, and two recipes are included for each herb: one for cooking and one for pleasure or healing. This book was well organized.
