My Opinion:
This is a groovy book. I like it for several reasons.
This summer was the first year I actually have my own herb garden. It is small, but I have Wild Celery, Parsley and Basil. But after reading this book, I actually now know what they are good for, and more ways to use it.
I really loved all the different aspects to using a single herb or flower. You know most are used in cooking, but take Wild Celery for example, did you know it's great to eat but also can be made into a decoction, used for rheumatoid arthritis! How cool is that?!
So, usually when recipes are thrown into a book I get on making one to add to the review. I haven't done so this time, but will be in the future, so look for the upcoming post.
I definitely am going to be talking about this book for a while, and recommending it to all who are interested in herbs.


5/5


Recommend? YES!!!

    Is it accurate? I've always wanted to get one, but could never decide which.

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
