Reviews
"Ms. Simonsohn is a tireless non-fiction author, and with this new book (...), she has created an optimal handbook for everyone. Like all compact guides from Mankau, the handy 'flexible format' with a washable flap cover is convincing. This way, you never put the book out of reach, and always have it at hand, even if you're busy in the kitchen...
Already in the first blurb, there's an overview of what awaits you in the book. (...) Simonsohn has selected her top 10 kitchen herbs based on their proven healing properties. As in other compact guides, the content is specially highlighted by specially marked info and tips in boxes. What distinguishes a particular kitchen herb is presented in the following chapters – for example, synergistic effects of the extracts, their bioactive substances, and much more. Attention is also paid to cultivation, with a clearly laid out grid showing optimal harvest time, plant parts to be used, processing, and preservation. The most important forms of administration as a medicinal herb, with the 'extra' on essential oils, precedes the individual plant portraits. (...)
Following this, the chapter 'A-Z of Ailments' clearly lists what helps for/against what. The author's personal concluding remarks round off this successful compact guide. (...) I must confess that I have already found my favorite: Until now, I have only used rosemary as a favorite spice in cooking, but also for smoking or my natural cosmetics. But reading this great guide made it clear to me that I could also use it in the form of tea, medicinal wine, or tincture for my current ailments!"
