Donna Frawley is a home economics major whose interest in herbs started in the culinary area and grew to include all aspects of herbs. In 1980, she started sharing her herbal knowledge with community groups and clubs and since has given over 250 lectures. In 1983, she started her own herb business, Frawley's Fine Herbary. Donna began by selling at her local farmer's market and that fall opened a home-based business which she continues today. Her recipe and cookbook collection, as well as her years as a baker and a home economics teacher led her to write The Herbal Breads Cookbook and the booklet on Edible Flowers. After teaching years of herbal cooking, a friend suggested she make a video teaching some of the simple techniques she used in her classes. Cooking With Herbs was then made.
