For those looking to cook their way into better health, The Herbalist’s Healing Kitchen provides tips, tricks, and techniques for bringing healing herbs into recipes and menus. Every recipe is categorized by flavor profile (sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and/or pungent), as well as by what type of healing each recipe promotes. With beautiful pictures and easy-to-access formatting, readers can skim for recipes or dive deeper into the theory behind flavor profiles, detoxification, and healthful cooking.
This cookbook has a bite-sized and delicious approach to learning about cooking for healing. Ingredients are fairly approachable, with nothing too specialized or difficult to find (with a few exceptions). There are several vegetarian dishes, with many dishes that can easily be altered for vegan diets, as well as including recipes welcome for keto or other dietary needs. With a wide range of recipes from snacks to dessert, fermented to fresh, I recommend this versatile cookbook for anyone looking to incorporate healthy ingredients with purpose or for those looking to try something deliciously innovative.
