A rather expensive one is  The Herbalist in the Kitchen (The Food 
Series) (Hardcover) by Gary Allen 
<http://www.amazon.com/Gary-Allen/e/B001HCZFB4/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1>
Would something like Jill Norman's Herbs & Spices: The Cook's Reference or
The Encyclopedia of Herbs, Spices, & Flavorings (Hardcover) by Elisabeth 
Lambert Ortiz   
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Elisabeth%20Lambert%20Ortiz>
do?
It depends a great deal on what she wants to do with her herbs, such as 
potpourris,  teas, preserving, just cooking them
fresh in dishes??
