~ Herbs on Saturday ~
August Challenge:
Win a copy of The Ultimate Book of Herbs
It’s AUGUST and a new Herbs on Saturday Challenge! Firstly, I want to say a HUGE thanks to Vanesther over at Bangers and Mash for her IMPECCABLE hosting for July - she was the Herb Hostess with the Mostess and you can see her FABULOUS month’s round-up of recipes here:
Herbs on Saturday – July Round Up July.
Secondly, a BIG thanks to all of you who entered last month, there were THIRTY entries, and all of them winners! There has to be ONE winner for the book however, and with thanks to Helen at Fuss Free Flavours for her judgung duties, she picked…….French Foodie Baby and her LUSH looking Nectarine Shiso Ice Cream.
French Foodie Baby wins a copy of The Best-Ever Easy-to-Use Herb Cookbook.
This month’s book up for grabs is the Reader’s Digest The Ultimate Book of Herbs: The Definitive A – Z of Herbs and How to Grow and Use Them:
“The Complete Book of Herbs” tells you all you need to know about planting, growing and harvesting your own herbs and how to use them in your home. You’ll discover that they have a wide range of uses, not only in cooking but also as natural ingredients in home remedies, cosmetics, aromatherapy, household cleaners, insect repellents and crafts. By growing and using your own herbs, you’ll keep your family healthy and safe, save money and use fewer chemicals in your home. Feature spreads highlight certain types of herbs (such as Asian herbs, herbs for bouquet garni etc), and there are also quick-reference charts, such as a trouble-shooting guide for pests and diseases. Feature boxes on ‘Herbal Folklore’ reveal how the medicinal properties of herbs have been strongly associated with magic and folklore for centuries. The beautifully illustrated extensive chapters on cooking, home remedies, beauty products and cleaning provide detailed information with step-by-step recipes and techniques on using herbs in your home.
