About this title

Synopsis

First published in 1912, M. G. Kain's CULINARY HERBS: THEIR CULTIVATION, HARVESTING, CURING AND USES is at once a down to earth guide to the "Origiganic," chemical free cultivation, preparation and savory use of the 36 herbs most essential to every great cook’s cupboard, and an inspiring and poetic love song to the culinary charm of these tantalizing "masters of the kitchen."

"Origiganic" is a new word we have coined at Better Days Books to describe time-tested "original" methods of growing food naturally in our backyards, gardens and farms. Only since the 1960s have petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides have been in widespread use, so any "how to" treatise published prior to 1960 will quite "naturally" exclude their use. The old-fashioned, "original" method, it turns out (as is so often the case), is simply a better, healthier, safer, and even generally less expensive way to produce bounties of fabulous, poison-free food – for our families, and for the marketplace.

Review
