Claire's Review:
I was so pleased when publisher Nourish granted my wish on Netgalley and this book arrived on my shelf. I use quite a lot of spices, and I'm always eager to discover new ways to incorporate them in my diet.
Each spice has it's own place in the directory, with details of origin, uses, and buying and storing pointers. I learned a lot about the spices I already use, and discovered some new spices too.
The recipe section is fantastic. I've tried several of the recipes now, and have been suitably impressed. I've decided to buy a print copy to add to my cookbook collection, as I'll be using the recipes lots more in the future. I'd recommend this book to those who already like to use spices in their cooking, baking and in drinks, and those who are keen to get to know spices better.
Special thanks to Nourish and Netgalley for granting my wish and placing this book on my shelf.
The companion volume to Healing Spices, this book illuminates the many benefits of berries in meals and drinks. We all love smoothies but only now are scientists, cooks and indeed the general public waking up to their immense health benefits. Again there are 50 profiles of the various berries, like bilberries, blueberries, rose hips and sloes, so many of which are not that hard to get hold of. Kirsten also of course flags up the great joy in foraging and collecting the berries for yourself. And then there are the recipes – not all drinks and desserts! There are main courses like Pasta with Walnut and Blackcurrant Pesto and Rose Hip Risotto. It’s an immensely fun and educational book.
