Zabar, Abbie Potted Herb
New York Stewart, Tabori and Chang 15-Mar-88 1556700180 / 9781556700187 N Hardcover
From Library Journal&newline;The gardener or cook who wishes to grow herbs on a small scale will find this a useful guide to raising 22 kinds in pots, either for decoration or for cooking. Zabar covers soil preparation, methods of starting plants, care, and includes 17 recipes. In one excellent chapter he covers training herbs into topiaries, and in another discusses using them to make wreaths, sachets, and similar items. (Zabar acknowledges the help of herb farmer Sal Gilbertie, whose more comprehensive Kitchen Herbs , LJ 4/15/88, deals with growing herbs in a garden and has over 100 more recipes.) Zabar's is an appealing title for apartment dwellers or those needing only a few fresh herbs. Small line drawings by the author. Terry M. Cole, Harrisville Central Sch. Lib., N.Y.&newline;Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;Book Description&newline;Since its publication in 1988, The Potted Herb has become a classic gardening and gift book. Beloved for its delicate line drawings and accessible size, this beginner's guide to growing your own herbs has sold more than 65,000 hard-cover copies. Now, in an affordable paperback format with a fresh cover design, the popular title will reach a new readership. Zabar, who tends to her own patio garden in Manhattan, writes in an engagingly personal tone about twenty-two varieties of herbs suitable for cultivating in containers. Included are instructions for training the plants into topiaries, preparing simple yet delicious recipes flavored with fresh, aromatic herbs, and creating wreaths, sachets, lotions, and other handmade crafts from herbal ingredients. In addition to the practical information, Zabar also reflects on the poetics of gardening and how it can enhance our everyday lives-even when space demands that the greenery be confined to terra-cotta pots and kitchen window boxes. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
