《书目》(Booklist)书评
Many herbal tomes profess to act as one-stop crafting, containing everything needed to put together impressive gifts. Vancouver author Browning carries through on that promise, gathering dozens of recipes and a number of techniques to create eight unusual baskets. Building up to that climax of packaged goodies are, first, the selection of plants and herbs, all easy to locate no matter what the neighborhood or weather. The how-tos are divided by type: personal fragrances (bath oils and facial scrubs), home fragrances (window spray), culinary collection (candied ginger scone mix), and decorative accessories (from a blossoming floral hat to vine wreaths). Pick a posy or two to create a millefiori bath collection or an elegant Della Robbia basket. --Barbara Jacobs

Many gardeners make and use herbal products, but crafting gifts requires special touches. Using products of her own garden on Vancouver Island plus purchased botanicals, Browning makes and packages the fragrant creations of traditional herbalists such as bath oils, potpourri, and culinary vinegars, oils, and syrups. She explains techniques, provides recipes, and offers photos showing the gifts packaged for presentation. This excellent, up-to-date summary of herbal crafts is recommended for public libraries.
