~ CLOSED ~ "The Herbal Kitchen" by Kami McBride - Review and Giveaway

    

      I love recipes, cooking, baking and entertaining. I love talking about these things, as well as comparing recipes and cooking techniques.  I’m always surrounded by cookbooks and read them like most people would read a novel!   So, when I had the opportunity to review "The Herbal Kitchen" by Kami McBride, I jumped at the chance. 

    This great book gives detailed information on 50 easy to find herbs, has more than 250 easy to follow recipes and includes a glossary of common herbal terms. 

     I recently made the “Paprika-Garlic Salt” and the “Rosemary Pesto”, the directions were easy to follow, they were simple to make and both turned out perfectly.

     Yesterday, I spent a long day doing battle with a pair of fancy high-heeled shoes and my feet lost!  When I came home I soaked my conquered feet in the “Sweet Dreams Foot Bath” and I never wanted to take them out, victory at last, it felt like a little piece of heaven!   

     Last week I had a bit of an upset stomach and instead of heading to the medicine cabinet, I remembered a remedy in this book and headed for the kitchen!  I brewed up some “Bay Leaf Tea”, which took a little longer to brew than your regular orange pekoe tea, but was well worth the wait.   Not only did it have a soothing and comforting aroma, it settled my upset stomach too.

     This book has a modern twist but harkens back to our great-grandparents and grandparents time, a time when people had a real connection to their gardens and to the land.  I will be keeping "The Herbal Kitchen"  on an easily accessed shelf in my kitchen; I can see myself reaching for this great resource over and over again.
