Outstanding reference for cooks, herbalists & gardeners
I initially purchased this book because it had a hard to find recipe for Elderberry Flower Syrup. The mere fact that the book contained such an obscure recipe was my first hint that this was no ordinary, boring botany/cooking text. Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz possess an encyclopedic knowledge of all things herbal and conveys this knowledge in an informative, lively way that makes the reader want to keep going long after looking up the initial information he or she turned to the book for in the first place. The book is organized into several sections, herbs, their historical usage, practical usage suggestions now, cultivation suggestions including companion plants and finally some delicious looking recipes. While this attractive book would look nice on any coffee table I guarantee that once purchased and opened it will not remain unopened collecting dust at that location. It will, rather, become a valued resource the adventurous chef, herbalist or gardener turns to frequently for information as well as creative ideas and uses for herbs. For the purposes of this review I looked for any negative aspects of this book and I can honestly report that the only complaint I have is that the book is not long enough! I could pick this author's brain for several more books worth of information without losing interest!Read full review

Captivating Read!!!
This is the most extensive book I have found that details the life of herbs from seed to table. I learned new ways of planting and cultivating my herbs to gain the most benefits from them. Drying my herbs for herbal remedies became a new adventure for me. My recipes became an entirely new flavorful experience because of the new mixture of herbs I learned how to use. Without the knowledge I learned in this book I would still be using the old staple of herbs I had always relied on. I never knew I was missing so much and am so thankful I stumbled upon this book. Thank you so much for the hard work you put into compiling the extensive inormation enclosed in this book. Excellent job!

Herbs, Spices & Flavorings Encyclopaedia
Book is out of print but this copy was like new. I got it as a gift for a couple who both cook. The content is interesting and I think very useful for creative, serious cooks. It's also a beautiful book.

Damaged
Love the book, but the way it was shipped to me was insulting, disappointing and damaging. It arrived wrapped only in thin plastic. The corners are beaten down. It is obvious, once it was paid for, it no longer warranted any care.
