His comment was "Kathryn has wasted more time on herbs than anyone--maybe she'll do it." And I did, for several years. In so doing, I discovered that most herb lovers needed help with the same questions. My first book, Herbs Southern Style, was written to address this need. Many speeches, seminars and gardenclub talks later, I realized that much more detail was needed than I had provided. HERBS: The Answer Lady Tells All was the result. The front and back covers show me at my real Answer Booth. Between the covers are the answers to all the questions you may have had about herbs from seed to soup. The first half of the book gives the fundamentals of sound herb growing practices. How do you build appropriate soil? What is enough drainage and how do you arrange it? How should seeds be handled? How much sun is full sun? All of this and more is laid out in clear terms. The second part of the book is divided into chapters by herbs. Specifics of growing each are included along with some history. Recipes for cooking and safe traditional remedies are featured along with ways to use the herb for fragrance, crafts or decoration. All herb lovers will enjoy this book but those who garden in hot climates will be especially grateful for the notes directed at their specific challenges. HERBS: The Answer Lady Tells All is $20 pluys $4 postage in the US. Overseas customers please e-mail for mailing costs and payment instructions. If you'd like to have the book sent as a gift, wrapping and a gift tag will be included free of charge. Just e-mail the specifics of your request.

The Answer Lady's household has always valued healthy eating, been vegetarian and cooked from scratch. It came as a nasty surprise to discover that her very active husband, Jack had a cholesterol problem. Research and conversations with Jack's physician revealed that even vegetarians can get a surplus of saturated fat in their diets. Saturated fat is at least as big a culprit as dietary cholesterol in raising serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and it's EVERYWHERE! We have examined our food choices anew and Jack has taken up developing heart healthy recipes. Below see some of his recipes, both free and for sale. Those for sale are $2 each and will be delivered by instant download.
