5.0 out of 5 stars Packed With Great Information About Herbs and Spices ! January 19, 2012

I tend to use the same herbs and spices over and over in my cooking. And I'm also looking for ways to cook in a more healthy manner. So I wanted to get a book that would help me learn more about herbs and spices, their health benefits and how to use them to improve my cooking.

I bought Healing Herbs & Spices and got so much more than I bargained for. This is a great book! For every herb or spice the author gives you the history, where it's grown, the parts of the plant that you use, other names for the herb or spice, health benefits, how it's used in cooking and then some great recipes! The health benefits are really interesting.

Cinnamon is good for arthritis, celery seed is good for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, fenugreek can help women deal with menopause and can increase male potency. Fenugreek can also help Type II diabetics lower their blood sugar. Did you know onions are an herb? I certainly didn't. I thought it was a regular veggie.

Recipes are listed for each herb and spice. The benefit is that if you find a herb or spice that you like or want to try, the recipes are right there for you. Vanilla Bean cookies, Roasted Garlic Soup, Basil Chicken. Cinnamon Maple Squash, Pizzelle Cookies (which I haven't had since I was little), Sour Cream and Chive Garlic Mashed Potatoes are just a few of the recipes I plan to try.

Finally Lee Anne Dobbins sounds like she has a passion for gardening and cooking. She writes in a very conversational manner which I like. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone interested in the health benefits of herbs & spices and how to best cook with the herbs and spices you like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great find, well organized January 20, 2012

By Jessie Morgan

I prefer to use natural remedies, and some of my favorites are ginger, turmeric and oregano. I'll often take these as supplements or teas, and have been working to incorporate them more into my meals. This book is a real find, part reference and part cookbook. I like the way it's organized, featuring details and background about each ingredient followed immediately by the relevant recipes. The photos are a nice touch as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Healing Herbs and Spices by Dobbins on Kindle February 23, 2012

I have seen this information in many books on herbs and on spices. I haven't found many books on both, and so to the point as this book. I did like the book. However, the editing was terrible. I found so many spelling, wrong word usage, words left out, and poor grammar mistakes that I felt sorry for the author. Her editor did not do a good job. I found all the errors to be distracting from the information. If this were not a Kindle e-book, I would be correcting the book as I read it. Most word programs have spell check, word usage and grammar check, so why all the mistakes?

More About the Author

When I got into my mid 30's I noticed that I lost a lot of my energy and zest. I was moody, tired and not really enjoying life that much. Little did I know, it had a LOT to do with what I was eating. Once I discovered that you really are what you eat, I started a lifelong journey in studying different foods, herbs and spices and how they could improve your health. My books are a culmination of what I have learned through study as well as trial and error. I have written them for you in the hopes that you, too, can improve your health and enjoy life more simply by eating delicious and healthy food!
