Herb expert Jim Long asked garden centres and seed companies across North America which herbs are the best sellers. The result is this book on growing and using the 10 top herbs, from basil, chives and cilantro to rosemary, sage and thyme. For each of these 10 herbs Long describes his favourites among the varieties that are available, such as Genovese basil, Spicy Globe basil and Thai basil. The 21 easy recipes are worth the price of the book, such as Candied Mint Leaves, Lavender Whipped Cream, and Cilantro Dip.
