I received this book free from the author (Jackie Johnson), in exchange for writing a review.This is a well written book on the 12 best (and most common) herbs to grow at home.  It's broken down into a section for each herb, and tells about its different varieties, whether it's an annual or a perennial, how it's used in cooking, how to grow it in pots or the garden, and how to freeze or dry it for winter use.At the end of the book, Jackie added some recipes for herb mixtures like Herbs de Provence, Italian herbs, Bouquet Garni, and Fine Herbs.I grow and use most of the herbs in this book, and I can say from experience that this is a good book for beginners or for those who want to add something new to their herb garden.  I plan to try growing savory this summer, after reading about it in 12 Best Herbs For Flavor + How To Grow Them.
