James Beard A Biography (Hardcover) by Clark, Robert

It's one of those kitchen conundrums that's so darn irritating: how come grocery stores only sell fresh herbs in such big quantities, when most recipes only call for small amount? Keeping herb plants such as basil, mint, thyme, and rosemary in your kitchen will save you time and money. When you need herbs for a recipe, you can just pick them right from your plant instead of running to the store, and better yet, you won't have any leftovers wasting away in the fridge.
