3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing title to an otherwise good work..., June 24, 2007
This review is from: Aromatherapy in the Kitchen: Fragrant Foods for Body, Mind and Soul (Paperback)
The title of this book is misleading. When the term Aromatherapy is used in common language its is meant to imply the use of essential oils and other concentrated aromatic substances, such as expressed oils, absolutes and their more subtle by-products such as hydrosols/hydrolates.
While this work is beautifully crafted and the recipes appear to be interesting they for the most part only contain aromatic herbs & spices NOT aromatherapy materials. Perhaps the authors might like to review the title of this work to better reflect its contents to "Cooking with Aromatic Herbs & Spices" or "Fragrant Food" as this would be less misleading and disappointing to the reader.
My background is as a lecturer in and practitioner of Clinical Aromatherapist & Aromatic Medicine. I also make use of essential oils, absolutes & hydrosols in culinary applications as well as cosmetic and therapeutic.
