A Sprig of Parsley by John Midgley
Each title in this series gives advice on growing and cooking with an important culinary herb, and features 25 recipes. Native to southern Europe, parsley is an ancient culinary herb which has never declined in popularity. Parsley is both a decorative plant and an internationally esteemed culinary herb, while the lesser-known variety, Hamburg parsley, is cultivated as a root vegetable. The flat-leaved variety is aromatic and strongly flavoured, while curly parsley makes the perfect garnish. This book is packed with information about growing and cooking with parsley, and features 25 recipes - from parsley omelettes and fish cakes, to peperonata and roast chicken with parsley stuffing.
