The Wild & Weedy Apothecary
Description
An A to Z book of herbal concoctions, recipes and practical know-how. Just outside your doorstep or kitchen window, hidden beneath a tall pine or twining through porch latticework, a wild and weedy apothecary waits to be found.
Herbalist Doreen Shababy shares a lifetime of work in the forest, field and kitchen: Glorious Garlic and Artichoke Dip, Sunny Oatmeal Crepes, Candied Catnip Leaves, Lavender Lemonade, Roseberry Tea, Garlic Tonic, Parsnip Hair Conditioner, and dream charms made with mugwort.
Inside you will also find the difference between sweet faced flowers and flowers with attitude, how to stock a pantry, the importance of gratitude, plant spirit communication basics, how to use local wild herbs, and how to make poultices, teas, tinctures, balms and extracts.
“... may emerge with catnip on their breath, mud on their knees, wild fruit juices on their hands, and a mysterious, satisfied smile.” Susun S. Weed
Why We Carry It
Most herb books are written from a database. This one is written from a life, and you can tell, because it wanders. It is the book for the part of the practice that happens in the kitchen rather than at the altar.
Who It Is For
Foragers, cooks, and anyone whose witchcraft mostly looks like being outside.
