The Spice of Life: Herbal Remedies from the Heart of Your Kitchen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539059875)

Have you been wanting to use herbs and learn about their powers, but feel you don't have enough time and energy to make it happen? What if you suddenly had access to a multitude of readily usable herbs, right in your own kitchen? And what if you had a book that was enjoyable to read and that easily outlined how to use each of these herbs? What if you could start practicing herbalism right now by opening a spice jar labeled, "Paprika"? Walk into your kitchen, open up your cupboard or take a nice long look at your spice rack. In those little bottles lies an ancient knowledge and tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Somehow we've lost an integral part of that tradition though - we use spices to make things taste good. But our ancestors knew that using these herbs made them healthier and made their food supply safer. Isn't it time to recapture what the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans knew? In every culture, spices have historically played an enormous role in not just spicing up the food, but adding superfood-like nutrition and herbal remedies to the daily diet. Isn't it time to view spices not just as additions to recipes but as a vital part of our diet? By reading "The Spice Of Life - Herbal Remedies From The Heart Of Your Kitchen", you'll quickly learn why you have such things as Tarragon and Cumin in your cupboard in the first place You'll discover that Nutmeg isn't just for apple pie and that Basil isn't just for pesto. I've practiced herbalism for almost twenty years and have studied holistic nutrition for over a decade. What I've found is that there is a union between herbs and food that has been largely forgotten in modern society. I wrote this book to introduce to you the medicinal powers of culinary spices. 29 herbal spices are showcased in this book, with a background on each herb, information about how we cook with them, and of course, how to use them medicinally. Let's take back the knowledge that our ancestors had and recapture the medicine that lies lurking in the pantry.
