I also don't understand why people complain about the cost of herbs - make a herb garden. It costs hardly anything, herbs grow like weeds, they are really handy, save you a fortune and make food taste sooooo much better.
What am I doing wrong? For the life of me I can't grow herbs! lol Whether I just don't have a suitable spot for them to thrive, I don't know. They only ever last a few weeks and then they shrivel up! Unfortunately, no trouble growing weeds though

Are most of the meals he has been doing on the show, also in the book? I have about 10 episodes on my tivo that I have been meaning to go back to and get the recipes, but if the same recipes are in the book I'll just go buy that instead.
