Put a herb in any dish and it transforms it, lifts it from average to sublime. Join Judith Hann on this seasonal recipe adventure as she takes you on a year round culinary herb journey. Packed with inspiring recipes, beautiful photography and practical information, this book will be a must-have for anyone wanting to learn to cook with herbs.

Herbs have a transformative power - they can lift a dish from humdrum to heavenly. Written by a true herb aficionado, this beautiful book is an ode to enjoying herbs all year round. In each seasonal chapter, Judith Hann skillfully weaves together guidance on cooking and growing - whether you have a full herb garden or simple pots on the windowsill - so that you can find recipe inspiration for more common herbs, as well as discover the wonderful varieties of herbs that aren't so readily available in the supermarket. Judith shares a huge collection of recipes that have been tried and tested at her herb cookery school - from simple herb sauces and salads to more ornate dishes, such as Guinea Fowl with Lovage and Lime, or Spare Ribs with Plum, Chilli and Sage Sauce. Also included are herb features, which provide a wealth of further quick recipes and ideas for:

• Pestos, made with a variety of herbs
• Herb syrups and sugars
• Herb ices
• Preserving recipes with herb flavourings
• Herb cheeses, and many more

Full of anecdotes, this is a wonderfully personal account of a love affair with herbs, as well as an indispensable guide on how to make the most of them every day.
