Everyone loves herbal recipes and we have some great ones for you. We’ve combined 3 of the cookbooks I’ve edited and are offering the recipes to you as a file that will be sent to you on the receipt of only $7. The file is best sent as a Microsoft Word document but can be sent in text format for those that can’t read Word. If you bought all the cookbooks it would be over $40 but since I don’t have to print, bind and mail the little creatures, I’m happy to part with the info in this inexpensive format. Simply visit www.herbnet.com/shop and place your order. :-)

The recipes cover a wide range: entrees, vegetables, drinks, desserts, breads and a lot more.

Now in case you’re not sure here’s 3 to tempt you.
