This is a superb book from Jekka McVicar. She has to be one of the country's foremost authorities on herbs and, in association with the RHS, has produced a book that is comprehensive, informative, and visually pleasing.
The book is arranged in alphabetical order of the plants' botanical names. For each herb there is an enticing close-up photograph, a description of the various varieties available, instructions for cultivation, including which varieties can be grown from seed and which succeed better from cuttings, whether the plant is suitable for growing in a container, and a tempting recipe.

As a huge fan of 'The Gourmet Gardener' by Bob Flowerdew, I ordered this book and it too would have received 5 stars from me because it also contains a wealth of useful information (e.g. advantages and disadvantages of different varieties, companion planting).
However, the more I read it in detail, the more frustrating it became. For example, the section on garlic listed just three varieties - Oz Garlic Rosea, Oz Garlic White and Aussie White - instead of referring to the four colour types of white, rose, violet and red and their differing characteristics. Similarly, the sections on both potatoes and apples referred to common varieties in Australia - which is not much use to me in Northern Europe! All became clear to me when I read ...

Being new to herb growing and gardening in general, I wanted a book that would get me going in the right direction with all the info in a simple to read format. This book definetley does this.
There are clear chapters on starting to grow your own herbs, both from seed and cuttings. How to start a new herb garden, what to do each season and also how to tend a more mature garden. Then there is a chapter on medicinal, beauty and culinary uses and a small amount of recipes. Lastly a list of the most common herbs with good photos and descriptions. The only problem I had from a beginners point of view would be the herb listings are done alphabetically in the latin names, which made it a pain to have to refer to the ...
