📝 Description: Fresh Herb Companion
Morton and Preston, both experienced herb gardeners, present a unique collection of recipes suited for every palate. This collection uses commonly grown and easily accessible garden herbs found throughout American folklore from the Pilgrims to modern times. In 1796, Amelia Simmons wrote, in the First American Cookbook, Garlicks, tho' used by the French, are better adapted to the use of medicine than cooking. How tastes have changed in 200 years! From Sage and Raisin Scones to Zucchini Pickles, every herb has its day.

This title is best suited for enthusiasts of American folk cooking and herb gardening. It offers a charming glimpse into how culinary preferences have shifted over two hundred years. However, it does not suit readers seeking complex, avant-garde techniques or international cuisines beyond the American context. Those looking for rigorous dietary guidance or detailed botanical science may find the content too light. It is a nostalgic companion for those who enjoy the history of food and simple, garden-fresh preparations rather than professional culinary instruction.
