The Sage Cottage Herb Garden Cookbook: Celebrations, Recipes, and Herb Gardening Tips for Every Month of the Year

Full of herbal lore and facinating info, the author describes a celebration each month and covers "thymely" seasonal recipes to help with the festivities. From January's "Twelfth Night" to "Leyden Day" in October, these wild and often forgotten celebrations are a wonderful framework for fun and frivolity through the seasons. Recipes range from out of the ordinary- Queen Anne's Lace Jelly II and Fennel Tuna with Lavender, to tried and true- Oven Omlete and Chili Con Carne. Tips and Hints abound as well. I really enjoyed the herbal lore woven throughout the monthly themes- (it is said that parsley goes seven times to the Devil because it germinates so slowly!) I will be turning to this book again and again as the year turns.
