A Garden of Herbs by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde. This book is
primarily intended for those who are going to create an old
fashioned herb garden, and who want to know how to use these herbs
as our great grandmothers did: but even if you buy your herbs at
the store, this practical handbook will show you how to make
hundreds of teas, syrups, conserves, pies, candied flowers and
leaves, wines, sweet waters and perfumes from well known wild and
garden herbs that are readily available. Most of the recipes are
taken from old English herbals (Gerard's herbal, John Evelyn's
Acetaria, Coles Art of Simpling and many others) and the author one
of the two or three most outstanding herbalists of this century
adds many more of her own. Miss Rohde first provides a brief
historical description of the herb garden, discussing some of the
major books on herbs that have been written in England since the
Anglo-Saxon Bald's leech book. Then in a long chapter entitled
"Sundry of herbs" she lists the common herbs in alphabetical order,
giving descriptions, recipes, hints on preservation, etc, for each
one. There are recipes in this chapter for such dishes as artichoke
pie, chervil broth, pickled cow slips, dill pickles, marigold
pudding, nettle spinach, sauce eglantine (from roses), tarragon
vinegar, violet cakes and wormwood brandy. There is an entire
chapter on salads made with all kinds of herbs, which includes
recipes for vinegar and mustard. ther chapters cover herb pottages
and puddings, drinks and homemade wines (from mint, currants,
lemons, dandelions, blackberries, sage, apples, gooseberries,
apricots, turnips, etc) and some additional recipes- almond milk,
beet-root biscuits, parsnip cakes, potato pie, and many more
unusual herb foods. A practical chapter on the picking and drying
of herbs and a final chapter on the use of herbs for scents (in
pomanders, ointments, bath waters, eau de cologne and other
perfumes) complete the volume. Miss Rohde's charming presentation
and the ease with which her herbal lends itself to hours of
browsing, will make this book a source of delight for anyone
interested in plants or their lore.
Its cultivation, harvesting, marketing and market value, with a
short account of its history and botany. In the preparation of this
little book, use had been made of articles contained in
agricultural journals, United States consular Reports, bulletins
published by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture and the
Experiment Station of Kentucky. This work is therefore gathered
from many reliable sources and is really a work of several authors.
