SubjectItalian Americans, Cookery
DescriptionThe Bottos grew rosemary, sage and mint in their garden. Herbs were used for personal hygiene and health purposes as well as for cooking. For example, Piedmontese immigrants used rosemary as a hair-rinse. Since rosemary is accustomed to a mild climate, the Bottos planted their shrub next to their chicken coop for protection. Pietro Botto often raised young herb plants for neighbors, friends and acquaintances.
