As an avid cook and cookbook author and instructor, I use a lot of herbs, spices and seasoning blends.I was very pleased with the recipes that are included in this collection. Author Jessica Dreyher has done a good job of creating and sharing a nice variety of seasoning blends, that would compliment many types of foods and recipes.In addition to some basic, all-purpose seasoning blends, she includes some intriguing combinations including:Celery, Pepper and Paprika SeasoningCacao Nib SeasoningThyme, Rosemary and Nutmeg Seasoningto name but 3 of the 30 in this collection.I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to the different yields for each of these recipes. I realize that some more "exotic" type blends would not be used as much but I do think they could be a bit more uniformity in this regard. Yields varied from 2 T. to much larger amounts like 3-4 C. for a recipe. But this is a small complaint in an overall excellent cooking resource book.This one is a keeper!Geraldine Helen Hartman author of The Groovy Green Kitchen and Not Just for Vegetarians.
