Herbs have the power to transform other ingredients and to breathe new life into our food. But in our everyday cooking are we really getting the most out of these fragrant, edible plants?
Here Sophie Grigson, cookery writer and presenter, has used no fewer than 48 herbs to create a fabulous selection of recipes suitable for feeding the family or entertaining friends. Even the most well-known of herbs are given an exciting treatment with recipes ranging from Rosemary-wrapped Fillet of Lamb with Tomato and Olive Relish to Potato Gnocchi with Fennel and Sun-dried Tomato Butter.
Sophie also shares her passions for less familiar herbs and directs us back to our natural herbal heritage with new recipes for much-loved British herbs such as rocket and lovage.
