The Natural Way
Herbs and spices are an essential part of the culinary tradition of all countries, and now you can identify and learn how to grow a wide variety of them, from aniseed to white mustard. This includes many exotic species you might have thought you could never grow in a temperate climate, a number of which - especially the spices - you may not even find in a run-of-the mill gardening book. They can all be grown without the use of harmful chemicals.
In addition to helpful guidance on propagation and cultivation, there is a fascinating brief history of each plant, details of how to dry or preserve the leaves, seeds, roots or stems, and suggestions on culinary use. With over 250 colour photographs and illuminations of common and uncommon herbs and spices from all round the world, this book is as much a delight to the eye as a handbook for the keen gardener.
