Download or read book Colette written by Yvonne Mitchell and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 1975 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbs are the most liberating and confidence-boosting of ingredients: grow some and you feel like a proper gardener, bring some into the kitchen and you feel like a proper cook. They allow you to experiment and bring individuality to your cooking while, at the same time, anchoring you in sound culinary tradition because herbs are often responsible for those key flavours that 'make' a dish. Not only that but they are a step on the road to a more self-sufficient, homegrown, organic way of eating.
