Title: Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health
Author: Rosemary Gladstar
Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health is a cross between a recipe book and an informational guide. Rosemary Gladstar, an herbalist considered a master in her field has laid out this book in easy to read chapters with recipes mixed throughout.
Gladstar’s writing is easy to digest and great for beginners wanting to get into Herbalism. She includes beautiful photographs of herbs and includes a brief herbal index at the back of the book. The only complaint I had with the book was the expectation before receiving it. Traditionally recipe books have the recipe, a photo, and a brief description. Gladstar writes a story with all the recipes. Regardless, it is still a wonderful set of recipes for a variety of age groups from children to geriatric.
One thing that sets Rosemary Gladstar’s Herbal Recipes apart from other herbal recipe books, is the detail she puts in on how to follow the recipe, and the story that came to its creation. She also includes measuring tables, and dosages for various age groups.
Overall, this recipe book is a fantastic, beginner friendly, herbal book that should be on everyone’s shelf.
