Product Description
Exotic Herbs is an alluring horticultural and culinary guidebook. It unfastens the kitchen door leading to Carole Saville's celebrated herb garden in the Hollywood Hills. Here she has cultivated a treasury of intriguing and unfamiliar edible herbs, herbs that are pleasing to the eye as much as they are a delight to the palate. While marveling at the sheer variety and ornamental beauty of these herbs, the reader is soon persuaded to look beyond well-worn combinations and enhancements for cuisine - rosemary with lamb, sage with pork, parsley with potatoes, basil for the best pesto - and revel in the creative possibilities that these uniquely flavored specimens afford.
Seducing both the gardener and the cook, Carole Saville demonstrates how to grow and use sixty daringly uncommon herbs. She provides planting instructions for each herb (covering all methods of propagation in and out of doors), descriptions of growth habits in different parts of the country, useful tips on maintenance and design, charming historical anecdotes, and detailed source information. With luscious full-color photography, Exotic Herbs shows how to safely and successfully harvest, prepare, and eat these herbs. Over fifty mouthwatering recipes by Saville, as well as some from several prominent American chefs, complete the enchantment.
