Wishes granted--check out her other book

Ms. Barrett's other cookbook "Morning Glories" expands into the realm of breakfast, brunch and beverages with the same style and grace as Desserts from an Herb Garden--add them to your cookbook collection, and you'll definitely be inspired to add some sort of container or window garden to take advantage of all her yummy recipes. Keep it up! More more more!

Give me your tired taste buds, your poor palate...

This collection of recipes is more than a "cookbook." Ms Barrett is also a gentle teacher whose knowledge of the garden as well as the kitchen makes her book interesting and eminently readable. Oh, and do fresh herbs make a more exciting dessert? Cilantro Peach Cobbler! Ole, ya'll!!

Easy to read, unique recipes using available garden herbs.

This book is a treasure of unusual tastes and ideas in simple, well written recipes that even a beginning chef can master. Each recipe is described in mouth-watering language inviting the reader to venture on into its production. The recipes that I have tried have been simple to follow and have turned out as I expected. These are really different tastes for your palate - a welcome change from standard dessert fare, and a delight to everyone. If you are not currently growing herbs, this book will spur you on to consider this possibility - even in a window garden - yet the book takes into account what herbs are available routinely in the supermarket for readers who are not ready to grow their food. If you are looking for some unique desserts to try, this book is a MUST! We can only hope the author is working on other "courses" using herbs for her future offerings.
