In the Middle Ages, herb gardens held an important place. Various types of herbs grew side by side, not only to add flavor to meat and soup but also to make medicines and dyes. There were also herbs with magical properties, with which you could brew potions and love drinks. Although most people no longer brew potions and love drinks, herbs still have something magical. In this booklet, you will find the most delightful stories about the herbs you use in your kitchen. With fine recipes and beautiful illustrations by Maartje van den Noort.
