Root & Nourish
Root and Nourish by Abbey Rodriguez and Jennifer Kurdyla is one of the best new cookbook/wellness books I’ve read in a long while. It is written for women's health concerns, but I think it can benefit anyone. It is so well written and the pictures are beautiful. I love the approach of using what we put into our bodies to help heal and treat. The recipes are delicious sounding, and they are all plant based and most seem to be gluten free. I also really appreciate the shopping guide of the places to buy some of the more obscure herbs. I will definitely be buying a physical copy of this book to add to my cookbook shelf. Thank you to NetGalley and Tiller Press for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.

Amazing good nutrition
I am a big believer in eating as naturally as possible and don't even like taking medicine unless really needed. When I saw a chance to read a woman's wellness book through herbal cooking I jumped at the chance and am I ever glad I have. I will be referencing this book many,many more times. Did you know you have many ways to heal yourself naturally with what you already have in your kitchen? Yes, you can do so through natural eating and with the use of herbs. There are many nutritious and health beneficial recipes and ways to use herbs such as recipes and teas to make during different days of your cycle for maximum health. Herbs are not just for seasonings but have so many health benefits. Though it may seem confusing the author's will guide you in what you'll need to purchase to have your own kitchen apothecary and how these herbs will benefit you. Highly recommended!!!! Pub Date 06 Apr 2021 I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.

Holistic Look
This Cookbook uses principles from Western herbalism and Ayurveda to dietetically treat the whole person. It is a holistic look at food and its effects on us. The book is broken into three parts that focus on digestion, mental wellness, and reproductive health respectively. Interspersed throughout the book are some yoga practices useful to any level of yogic skill. The beginning gives an overview of the authors’ philosophy behind this book. It offers an apothecary for the kitchen; a list of herbs that should be present for use. They are then categorized by their health properties, i.e. antimicrobial, astringent, aphrodisiac, etc. A list of necessary kitchen tools follows, then begin the recipes. While some of the ingredients seem exotic (ashwagandha root powder, for example), the recipes themselves are easy to follow. You’ll have to go to a specialty grocer to get some of the items, or you’ll need to find substitutes, or you’ll need to skip them altogether. This was a 4-star book for me. I appreciate an holistic look at health. I could have done with less of the authors’ philosophy and more recipes, though. If you’re looking for a primer herbalist/Ayurvedic yoga recipe book, this is for you.
