'The book is arranged alphabetically according to the common name of the herb, and 40 plants, both the aromatic herbs used for flavouring, and the pot herbs used as vegetables, are included. General information on the plant - its cultivation, harvesting and uses - is followed by recipes for meat, fish, salads and vegetable dishes, for snacks, savouries, pates, pies, cheeses, soups, wines and other refreshing drinks. Basic techniques for preparing herbs are also given, as well as an index of different types of dishes.'
