Herbs on Saturday ~ October Challenge:
Win a copy of The Kitchen Herb Garden Cookbook
IT’s a new Herbs on Saturday challenge for October, and a new book up for grabs – the fabulous The Kitchen Herb Garden: A Seasonal Guide to Growing, Cooking and Using Culinary Herbs by Maureen Little; I was sent one of these books for review (my review to follow next week) and I was also sent a second copy to give away to this month’s winning recipe, as picked by a mystery judge!
This book is full of inspiration and practical advice on cultivating a kitchen herb garden,and on using its fresh,home-grown herbs in your cooking. There is detailed information on how to plan,plant,grow and maintain thirty selected herbs in a herb garden that will always be productive.Additionally,there are over sixty delicious recipes from soups to sauces focusing herbs in your kitchen.The book includes information on:-Which culinary herbs to plant,and how to grow them-Illustrated planting plans for designing different types of herb garden-Using herbs to flavour oils, vinegars, butters, sugars and jellies – How to harvest, dry and preserve your herbs – How to grow herbs in containers – How to match herbs to ingredients in your cooking.

So, what will we see this month? Maybe more casseroles and stews, or preserves maybe……October is also the month of Halloween, so maybe pumpkins may feature a lot…..or squash and marrows with herbs. I am looking forward to seeing what you all cook or bake with herbs, and don’t forget to let your friends know about this challenge! A BIG congratulations to last month’s winner, Sally, from Recipe Junkie, and here is her lovely Herb Salad:

Hi Karen, I’ve added a link to my recipe for biscotti flavoured with fennel seeds. Looking forward to lots more herby inspiration from the challenge this month!
Brilliant, thanks Sarah! Love fennel seeds a lot and need to use them more in my cooking/baking! Karen
