New Zealand Kitchen Herbs for Health

Gillian Polson introduces us to her storehouse herbs - those herbs or seeds which she uses daily from the shelves in The Living Kitchen- and herbs used fresh from the herb garden. Gillian writes about each herb with affection, enthusiasm and expertise. She includes snippets of history and illustrates the preventive, healing and health-giving power of herbs. She shares her favourite recipes as well, mainly chosen to emphasise natural goodness, flavour, fragrance and curative qualities. For the garden she gives insights into companion planting and cultivation hints. She offers suggestions on how to start a herb garden, where to put it and how to enjoy it! The benefits from growing, gathering and using fresh herbs in wholefood cooking is clearly inspirational. `I like to inspire people and to then feed their enthusiasm.' Gillian Polson is the owner and creator of the Akaroa Herb Farm. Her knowledge and the tranquil atmosphere of the herb farm draw visitors from far and wide. Her other books include The Living Kitchen and Food from the Living Kitchen.
