Herbarium: One Hundred Herbs · Grow · Cook · Heal
Product ID: 57571551
Herbarium explores the histories, associations and uses of 100 herbs, as well as providing ideas for both food and wellbeing. Each entry features a specially commissioned illustration with texts that include the botanical name, place of origin, varieties and areas where the herb is most commonly grown. The essence of each herb is explored in a brief history peppered with interesting anecdotes, complemented by suggestions of classic combinations and helpful tips for gardeners. A reference section includes pieces on how to grow and keep herbs, seasonality and a map showing where our herbs are grown. A contemporary evolution of the traditional herbarium, presented in a fresh way for a younger audience and a new generation of cooks, Herbarium will expand readers’ knowledge, improve culinary skills and enhance their appreciation of the incredible world of tastes offered by herbs. Review: Gorgeous and informative - This is a lovely book to browse through and find out more information about a wide range of herbs. The quality of the paper and design are fantastic! Review: A very beautiful book - Extremely beautiful as well as being informative. Provides excellent cameos of all the known herbs as well as many that I had not come across before. Is excellent for those, like myself, who prefer to take a tisane of sage and thyme for a sore throat rather than swallowing the syrupy concoctions prescribed by doctors. And it tells one how to treat much else besides. Cannot recommend it more highly.

Interesting on a first reading but not practically useful - makes me think of a Christmas novelty purchase
Not sure why this is receiving so many gushing celebrity recommendations -it's somewhat less than the sum of its parts. Interesting on a first reading but not practically useful - makes me think of a Christmas novelty purchase.

Beautiful book
Such a beautifully designed book and a treasure to read. One quibble though - mine arrived with a blue sticker on the front cover with quotes which has proved impossible to remove and now I have a grubby gluey mark on the front which is annoying.

Herbalicious !
Lovely, fresh presentation with no hard to understand waffle !! Although the illustrations are attractive, I would have liked a small drawing to show what the herb actually looks like. This is why I have only given 4 stars instead of 5.

Perfect Item and Top-Notch Service!
Thanks so much for an outstanding transaction and a perfectly gorgeous product. The book "Herbarium" arrived in unblemished condition and encased in pristine packaging. I am as happy as can be. I heartily endorse Books Express as a top-notch seller and very professional person with whom to work. 5 stars, and more if I could manage it. p.s. I appreciated the seller's personal correspondence after my order was placed. Excellent caring and service!

Le faltan buenas fotografias
Al comprarlo crei que tendria fotos o dibujos para identificar las plantas y que hablaria más de sus propiedades tanto en la cocina como en la salud

Love this book
Love this book. Very interesting and slightly stark but colourful (if that makes sense) book about herbs. I like the author/illustrator's approach though. Something different in the world of herb books. Nice work!
