Herb: A Cook's Companion

Beskrivelse

Herb is a delightful journey from garden to kitchen, focusing on the rich world of herbs. Marc Diacono, both gardener and cook, offers a perfect blend of growing tips and culinary inspiration to bring fresh, homegrown flavours to your meals.

A comprehensive guide to growing, preparing, and enjoying herbs in your cooking.

This book goes beyond typical recipe collections by diving deep into the art of sourcing, preparing, and using herbs to create delicious dishes that are as enjoyable to make as they are to eat. Marc Diacono explores when and how to use herbs, capturing their flavours for times when they’re out of season.

You’ll learn about the varying flavour strengths, origins, and nutritional benefits of herbs, focusing on popular varieties like thyme, rosemary, basil, chives, and bay, while also introducing some lesser-known options to expand your culinary horizons.

Herb offers practical advice on sowing, planting, feeding, and propagating herbs, complete with detailed plant descriptions and their key culinary pairings. It also covers different preservation methods such as making oils, drying, vinegars, syrups, and freezing to help you make the most of your harvest.

With over 100 innovative recipes, the book encourages you to bring herbs to life in your cooking-from quick weekday parsley pestos to infusing Lancashire cheese with lovage for a unique twist. Recognised by the Guild of Food Writers and shortlisted for the Andre Simon Awards, Herb is a valuable resource for anyone passionate about growing and cooking with herbs.
