Success with Herbs
Author: Yvonne Cuthbertson
Herbs offer a spectacular blend of the beauty and aromas of flowers and the flavors and nutrition of vegetables, as well as the healing power of medicines and even colors for dyeing fabrics. Any indoor or outdoor space can become a stunning herb garden with these practical instructions and lavish photos. It all starts with preferences and plans: formal and informal, large and small, sun and shade, as well as specialty gardens that highlight potpourri, medicinal herbs, tea leaves, and nostalgic or historic themes. Beginners can learn the basics by working with the “big five”—parsley, chives, mint, thyme, and rosemary. Over 150 color photos accompany A–Z descriptions of more than 100 herb types that cover growing, harvesting, preserving, and uses.

Gate Easy Vegetarian Cookbook
Author: Adrian Daniel
Some cooks believe that the words “easy” and “vegetarian” just don’t go together. The chef-proprietors of London’s famous Gate Restaurant prove how wrong that idea can be with an impressive collection of their simplest recipes—luscious and amazingly varied dishes made with just a few easily accessible ingredients. The menu includes Italian polenta chips, Eastern European blinis, Middle Eastern tabbouleh, Indian bhel poori, and Asian rice paper spring rolls, among many others. There are fusion dishes such as grilled eggplant with lemongrass salsa, flatbread pizzas, and butternut squash and cauliflower samosas. As more and more people decide to go vegetarian (whether full-time or part-time), the Daniels make it easier, and more deliciously tempting, than ever before.
