The current issue emailed out to subscribers yesterday. Our computers put up a good fight, but in the end, we won. We always have a struggle when we start a new year, but I think we have it figured out. Finally!
The year starts off with a spectacular Herb of the Year chosen by the International Herb Assoc., being covered well by Kristine Brown. Another highlight is a really nice and wide-ranging article on Jerusalem Artichokes, with additional recipes from other contributors.
