Little Book of Herbs and Spices

This little book is a perfect gift for a hostess, secret pal, yourself, or the little moments you enjoy giving gifts to a friend just for fun (which is, for me, one of the most gratifying reasons for giving gifts! ). It is a lovely green, hard cover package that gives the reader a brief history, care, and use of herbs. Then comes the wonderful part: nineteen delicious recipes for appetizer,main course, side dish, and desserts. Each recipe is accompanied by a full-color photograph for mouth-watering appeal. The recipes are for: dolamedes, mussels in red wine, spaghetti with pesto, spinach and cheese pie, szechuan fish, pasta and asparagus salad, trout with chive sauce, rogan gosh, roast pork wild game style, chicken mughlai with coriander chutney, tomato beef stir-fry, chicken escalopes, herb rice pilaf, herbed vegetable strips, spiced creme brulee, guava mint sorbet, cinnamon coeur a' la creme with raspberry sauce (exquisite) , and chocolate spice cake. If you love herbs, or want to explore cooking with them, I highly recommend this little delight!
