Herbs are central to the River Cottage way of cooking. It's high time that a volume on these lovely ingredients was added to our other handbooks, and I'm delighted that Nikki Duffy has been the one to write it. She is as passionate as I am about the culinary properties of these wonderful plants. Like me, she is in thrall to their intoxicating scents and their gorgeous flowers, which are frequently at least as useful as their leaves. It's a wonderfully useful guide that will introduce you to the satisfaction of growing and cooking some of your own food, if you don't already. If you do, you will find much in these pages to inspire you and take you further. Read my full blog about Nikki's book Hugh X PS - a couple of useful messages . . . Our new River Cottage Herbs Handbook is available for £9.74 today from the River Cottage Shop on Amazon. Take advantage of unbeatable Amazon prices and service. Nikki will be joining the River Cottage team, plus Hugh's Three Hungry Boys at our Get Growing In Spring weekender on March 24/25. Tickets only £14.50, while under-12s are admitted free. More |
