One of my favorite books at home....very informative with photo of herb for those who need a visual (plus when cooking with herbs, it is best to know what they look like) Provides common name, other common names, botanical name, family/plant origin, names in different languages, flavor group, weight per teaspoon, suggested quantity per pound, complements, used in, combines with, description of plant/herb, origin and history, processing, buying and storage, use and recipes. All this can be found in, The Spice and Herb Bible (second Edition) by Ian Hemphill a great purchase for any kitchen.
