Cooking with Basil

Basil: An Herb Lover's Guide This book has great recipes for those who like to cook with Basil. It also went into the various types of basil available and how to preserve fresh basil for future use. I found it to be very helpful.

As expected

I bought this book as a newbie in the herb gardening world. I read all the reviews--made sure I was getting exactly what I was looking for. This book has not only met my expectations --but, in many ways, has exceeded them. If you truly want to learn about Basil--read this book!!!

Excellent

If you like herbs, you love basil and if you love basil, you'll treasure this book. Great price, surprisingly speedy delivery.

A delightful read

This is an easy to read, no nonsense, hands on guide to grow basil, my herb of choice. The author takes you from sewing seeds to harvesting; from growing indoors to outdoors; in containers and in ground; cultivation, collecting seeds and drying leaves. Nothing is left out. I even enjoyed the recipes. Makes growing basil easy.... a must read.
