Retro Cooking Giveaway #8: Field Guide to Herbs & Spices from Quirk Books!

This is one of the books in my personal collection (of many!) from Quirk Books, and it is just awesome!

The Field Guide to Herbs & Spices, by Aliza Green is just a wonderful resource for anyone who is learning or wants to learn more about the culinary uses of herbs.  Included in every herb listing: alternate names of the herb, a general description, the season it's at it's peak, cautions, a recipe using the herb, and a list of foods that the herb goes well with.  I absolutely LOVE this book!

And the pictures in the book are just gorgeous.  Bright and done so simply, they can be a real help in identifying that strange chili that you've never heard of, but the latest recipe you're dying to try calls for.

And yes, one lucky winner is going to win their very own copy, thanks to Quirk Books!
