I enjoyed reviewing The Healing Kitchen by Holly Bellebuono. Her book is a wonderful addition to more traditional cookbooks as well as a great introduction to the world of healing herbs. Since foraging for wild herbs was not possible in snowy upstate New York in February, I ransacked the bulk herb department at the Honest Weight Food Coop in Albany for a collection of (to me) exotic ingredients to use in testing the recipes.
This was how, on a cold, snowy afternoon I was able to fill my kitchen with the grassy scent of summer as I created several different teas, tonics, and infusions along with one very green and creamy fish soup. Though many of the recipes are still out of reach, given the season, I’m looking forward to Bellebuono’s coaching as a I explore the many therapeutic wild things in my back yard.
