In its quest for new tastes, freshness and simplicity, modern cuisine has rediscovered herbs and their ability to endow any dish with a distinctive flavour. This cookbook reveals the secrets of herb cookery from around the world in 100 recipes. From rich Louisiana gumbo to coriander-scented Thai green curry, ten classic dishes from diverse traditions demonstrate the versatility of culinary herbs. Recipes for starters through to desserts include simple dishes such as sorrel soup and more elaborate concoctions like stuffed nasturtium flowers and lavender ice cream. A photographic catalogue of 50 culinary herbs details each herb's role in different cuisines and offers preparation and storage information.

Jill Norman is now a director of the European Patent Office.
A few years ago, the only fresh herb generally found in American supermarkets was parsley. Thanks to the growth of gardening, burgeoning ethnic populations, and increasing demand for fresh ingredients year round, cilantro, basil, and arugula have become common market items. Norman carefully catalogs the spectrum of fresh culinary herbs, distinguishing the many varieties of basil and parsley as well as describing less familiar herbs, such as epazote and woodruff. Newly fashionable Asian herbs get equal treatment. A brief chapter on edible flowers emphasizes that herbs decorate as well as perfume cooking. Norman provides simple recipes to help readers explore uses for herbs they encounter. Clear photographs and useful text descriptions help cooks identify and understand the culinary role of each herb. Both cooks and gardeners will find this guide functional, attractive, and easy to use. Mark Knoblauch
