I found Jekka's Herb Cookbook at the library, and have been enjoying it a lot – the illustrations are especially beautiful, a full culinary history of each plant is given, and there are lots of delicious herb-utilising recipes, too. Lemon verbena sorbet, for example.

Also pictured above: some herb-like embroidery on a piece of beautiful hand-dyed linen I bought in Nelson over the summer. And a photo I snapped in my Mum's garden.
