New Cookbook by The Herb Lady
Is Out of the "Oven."


Catherine Crowley, better known as The Herb Lady, of Herbs 2 U, announces the publication of "101+ Recipes from The Herb Lady" in conjunction with Lulu Enterprises, the world's fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. The cookbook is for beginners, experimenters and "I have to be on a low salt/fat diet" cooks -- all can learn how to cook with flavor through the use of herbs and spices instead of relying on salt and fat, or artificial ingredients.

With over 150 healthy recipes plus tips on herb uses, fun facts and history, this cookbook is suitable for every cook from the college student to the retired.
From beverages to dessert, the book uses theme herbs and spices to show the cook how to create with flavors with herbs and spices such as fennel seed, Mexican oregano, fenugreek, and epazote, in addition to more commonly known herbs like basil, marjoram and rosemary -- edible flowers, too! Many of the recipes are vegetarian and vegan friendly.
Catherine, The Herb Lady included a special index for looking up primary ingredients--what are you cooking with tonight? Chicken, yogurt, salmon, rice, eggs, even tofu! Large type and easy to follow directions, will make this cookbook a favored edition to the kitchen. A complete alphabetic list of recipes is also included.
Cooking and supper clubs will find the recipes and ideas a great starting point for club events.
Scheduled to hit the book stores and Internet by mid-December, the book can be purchased in time for holiday gift-giving through a special publisher's link at www.lulu.com/herbs2u.
Herbs 2 U was founded to educate and inform folks on gardening with herbs, edible flowers and other edible plants, and then how to bring those useful and flavorful plants into the kitchen and creating mouthwatering meals.
The Herb Lady is also the author of "Edible Landscaping in the Desert Southwest: Wheelbarrow to Plate" -- all about how to garden successfully in the desert and includes gardening tips, a month-by-month calendar, and recipe ideas on how to use of the garden bounty.
Her column appears monthly in the online edition of the East Valley Tribune, and her classes on growing and using edible herbs and flowers are offered in locations around the Valley of the Sun, including the Desert Botanical Garden and Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
Catherine is a regular guest on the Ed Phillips' streaming radio program at www.azalmanac.com.
