Paul Dee: I wanted a quick reference for herbs and spices and their uses, and came away with a lot more. This nicely laminated goody has not only nicely illustrated herbs and spices information, it also has tips on how to freeze herbs and spices, dry them, and even how to grow them. It's kind of like a condensed encyclopedia. Very informative and well done.

annmarie: This is not exactly what I was looking for. I was seeking a guide of what herbs and spices to use with different foods.

Susan B: What a GREAT idea! It can be taken outside or used in the kitchen and if it gets dirty or greasy just wipe it clean! It can go into a 3-ring binder with your favorite recipes or with your garden notes. It is color-coded to easily see the groupings of information. And I love that it is a tri-fold, and not separate pages. Like I said - GREAT idea! I would have loved to given it a 5-star review were it not for the small, low contrast lettering, which is difficult to read even with my 2+ reading glasses. But if you have excellent reading eyesight, then by all means consider this a GO-TO must-have item for your kitchen and garden!

allan hayman: Met expectations by far. Bought for my wife for Christmas. She was quite satisfied. Color contrasts and easy to read format plus laminated meant A1 result. Excellent information content and well laid out. Can't find this kind of thing even in a specialty kitchen shop retail store.

Judy L.Judy L.: This is a 6-page laminated guide that would be useful for both experienced as well as novice cooks. If you are anything like me, you probably do research on the internet to find recipes to add to your collection so that dinners don't get boring, not only for the cook but for the people you are cooking for. I am a very experienced cook and most often use recipes only for ideas - I seldom follow a recipe as written since I often feel they need more flavor.
I grow quite a few herbs in my basement, but, most often, I'm not sure how to use them or how they can be used together to enhance flavors in foods. The whole idea of using herbs and spices in foods is not so much to flavor them as to enhance the flavors in the foods you are cooking.
Unless you have a storehouse of information in your mind of how to use every herb and spice and how to combine them, this 6-page laminated pamphlet is worth more than it's weight in gold. Sure, you can can do internet searches to find out what herbs and spices go with what and which go good together, but this pamphlet has it all without trying to come up with the right search words.
I have added pictures of all the pages in this...

Renee: I gave this as a shower gift with 5 spice plants, a mortal and pestle and a few other books to make infused drinks, salts, sugars, oils/ vinegars and butters. The gift together was sensational.
