I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

Beautiful cookbook with a great collection of recipes. Some that I will have to make include, "wild herb and green garlic soup", "lemon roasted asparagus with baked goat cheese", and "oven poached salmon with creme fraiche and caper dressing". There is also a section at the beginning about individual herbs, their uses and flavors.

I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Beyond the lovely pictures and appealing layout, I was impressed with the down-to-earth advice, and helpful uses outlined for the herbs. Each herb gets a comprehensive write up complete with information, uses, kitchen uses, and safety concerns when applicable. The author also offers easy DIY ideas for making tinctures, herb butters, infusions, vinegars, teas, salts, and more. By far my favorite part of the book was the recipes. I bookmarked far too many to list here, but top of my list includes: Deep-Sea Purple Kraut, Lavendar After-Dinner Tea, Vital Roots Kimchi (yes, I have a thing for fermented foods), Apricot-Cashew Bars with Coconut and Rosemary, and Turmeric Fire Cider (which I make each year, but haven't tried with turmeric). If that isn't enough to convince you, the recipes are in chapters with names like Adapt, Challenge, Nourish, Invigorate, and Transform. The options are varied, and offer gorgeous pictures, simple ingredient lists, and healthy dishes along with a few self-care recipes.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking to add the power of herbs to their daily life.

This cookbook is a great introduction to using herbs in the kitchen. The author gives readers an overview of the tastes of herbs and what biophysical and energetic actions each taste group imparts. Recipes are well described and fall into categories unique to herbalism. As a fan of 'food as medicine' concepts I am pleased to see a book like this coming on the market and think this will be popular amongst seasoned herbalists, home cooks, and families striving for clean and nourishing meals and snacks.

Love this book! Great for nutritious, vibrant recipes. I love how calming and healing her book is, with an emphasis on healthy living. I tried some of the recipes and loved them. Will definitely have to buy a copy of this cookbook when it comes out in June!

I loved flipping through this book because it gave me so many ideas of things that I could do with my kitchen herb garden. It's definitely a book that I would go out and purchase so that I have a physical copy on hand.
