Culinary herbs enhance flavours of food and promote digestive health, reduce inflammation, relieve anxiety, and more. While explaining the health benefits of each herb, these recipes show how to incorporate hearty doses of delicious herbs into every meal.

Add dill to fish to boost flavour and stimulate digestion. Add garlic and ginger to greens so the body absorbs more nutrients. It's no coincidence that herbs are cornerstones of cuisines around the world - accompanying the great tastes are noted medicinal benefits. These 110 original recipes for scrumptious snacks, entrées, drinks, and desserts are packed with familiar herbs. By relying on the potent medicine of culinary herbs and time-tested cooking techniques, these hearty recipes maximize the food's nourishing properties and show cooks of all levels how to reconnect to the tremendous health-giving qualities of culinary herbs.

AUTHOR: Brittany Wood Nickerson is an herbalist and the owner of Thyme Herbal, where she offers herbal apprenticeship programs, classes in herbal cooking, and private herbal consultations. Nickerson is an active guest speaker and teacher at herbal conferences throughout the Northeast.
