Kitchen Medicine

Everywhere you look these days, health is being served up as the latest fancy gadget, exotic herb, or super food.

Alongside these miracle cure-alls are the claims, or even implications, that if you buy, eat, or drink this ONE thing, your life will be dramatically changed. FOREV-UH!

Blech.

Newsflash: Good health doesn’t come in a pill (or tincture, or capsule, or even a single cup of tea). Instead, it’s the many choices we make in our day that add up to making those profound impacts.

After over 15 years of being immersed in the world of natural health, I strongly believe that your kitchen is the most powerful hub for your health.

And no, I don’t mean eating more kale!

It goes much deeper than simple ingredients. Instead, it’s about reclaiming what my friend and fellow herbalist, Kami McBride, calls “your culinary culture”.

Every single one of us has a birthright to a culinary culture. Some of you may be more aware of it than others. For many of us, the culinary culture we were born into has shifted dramatically throughout our family’s ancestry or even within our own lifespan.

You can see your culinary culture in your comfort foods, in your holiday traditions and even in your day-to-day meals. It includes everything from the type of foods you eat, to how they are prepared, and how they are eaten.

No matter who you are and what family you come from, your culinary culture once included a unique blend of herbs and spices. These aromatic wonders seasoned meals, promoted healthy digestion and, in some cases, served as a way to remember holy days and traditions.

Sadly, the herbs and spices that once filled our meals and drinks are often lacking in today’s modern cuisine.

Are you interested in learning how to add lots of herbs and spices to your meals?

Is transforming your food into medicine something you’d like to be infusing into your life?

I’ve heard from a lot of people about the hurdles they have with their kitchen medicine. From those conversations I’ve identified three main issues that people have to adding herbs and spices to their meals. 

1. How do you create herb- and spice-filled meals that the whole family will love? 

2. How do you make time for it when you’re tired at the end of the day and you simply want what’s easiest? 

3. How do you make it taste good? Sometimes adding lots of herbs and spices to a meal doesn’t mean it will taste good! 

Those three challenges are easily the biggest hurdles in herbal kitchen medicine. Simply put, if it doesn’t taste good, if some people in your family don’t want to eat it, and if it’s a pain to do it, then it’s definitely not going to happen. 

There is, however, a very smart solution to all of these issues. 

This solution allows you to easily add herbs and spices to your meals without spending a lot of additional energy, and it makes it easy for every member of your household to customize their food the way they like it. 

Ready…

Condiments! 

Having a variety of herbal condiments on hand is the simplest and easiest way to add herbs and spices to every single meal, snack and beverage in your home. 

The best part is that there are endless possibilities! 

For example, you can have herbal oils, vinegars, and honey on your counter so you can easily use them for cooking, salad dressing, etc. 

One of my favorite ways to use herbal condiments is with herb salt seasonings and herbal sprinkles. This is something that I really got into through my friend Kami McBride. 

Let’s look at an example. One of my favorite herbal sprinkle recipes from Kami is called Red Powder. It’s so simple to make and it’s delicious! 

Here’s the recipe: 

This recipe is so simple and so easy. It takes moments to prepare the sprinkles and, when you leave them out on your counter or dinner table, it makes it easy to remember to use them. 

Of course, the above recipe is just one example. Herbal sprinkles and herb salt seasonings can be made up in many different ways: blends for sweet treats, blends for breakfast, blends for savory dishes, and custom blends that you know members of your family will love and use! 

If you love the idea of easily adding a variety of delicious herb- and spice-filled condiments to your meals and drinks, then you are going to love my friend Kami’s book! 

Kami originally wrote her book, The Herbal Kitchen, over ten years ago. Her publisher decided that since it was doing so well they wanted to do a total re-issue -- not a re-print but a re-issue. This means The Herbal Kitchen has been upgraded with a new chapter, new recipes and a new cover, making it an incredible re-incarnation of an already really good herb book!

I’m so excited for this release! This book contains over 250 herbal recipes and is already a treasured herbal for many. 

For those of you worried about things tasting good, Kami’s recipes are thoroughly tested and approved. When you use her simple and easy-to-follow recipes you won’t have to wonder if the end result will be yummy or not.

With over 250 recipes in the book it’s easy to find things that everyone will love! There is also lots of herbal information to explore with write-ups on 50 easy-to-find herbs.
