Reviews

McVicar gives instructions on growing 335 herbs indoors and outdoors. The illustrated guide includes not only familiar herbs, such as basil, rosemary, onion, garlic, dill, chives, tarragon, chicory, mint, parsley, sage, and thyme, but also lesser-known plants, such as lemon verbena, marsh-mallow, and viper's bugloss, to name just a few. And there are herbs discussed we think of as flowers, including iris, foxglove, lily of the valley, pink, and Jacob's ladder. Each entry has a brief history of the plant and information on cultivation. McVicar includes warnings regarding dosage and handling and offers interesting bits of lore and ancient uses. This profusely illustrated book has more than 1,000 color photographs and more than 200 recipes. George Cohen
