Salad Herbs (The National Trust Little Library)

From the days when parsley was a decorative green at the fishmonger's, we have progressed o an age where basil, chives and dill are standard household herbs. But the herb of a more distant past, purslane, rocket, salad burnet and sweet cicely, are only just beginning to make a comeback. You will find them all here, described and illustrated, along with many others, with hints on growing and storing them and ideas for their more imaginative use.
