Description

An accessible exploration of 48 medicinal and culinary herbs to grow and use year-round, with information on gardening, cooking, and integrating herbs as part of a holistic wellness routine.
 
Herbs bring in more bees, more birds, and more beneficial insects to the garden. They add spice and depth to any recipe. Herbs enrich our lives, our health, and our earth in profound and nourishing ways. Herbs in Every Season offers gardeners, herbalists, cooks, and homesteaders a new way of looking at herbs throughout the year. Herbalists will learn how an herb’s growth habits inform its medicinal capabilities, and gardeners will gain insight on herbs as integral culinary plants for the kitchen garden, pollinator plants for perennial borders, and key ingredients for a home apothecary.

​With detailed plant profiles on 48 herbs, many of them native plants, Bevin Cohen encourages a year-round perspective on growing and using herbs in tandem with the seasons. He will assure any newcomer that herbs are not only easy to grow, but also forgiving. Readers will take delight in:
  • Simple, homegrown recipes and preservation techniques for cooking and concocting herbs in tonics, teas, meals, and treats
  • Herbal remedies and useful DIY applications for common ailments such as sunburns and mosquito bites
  • Deep insight on how the life cycle of an herb contributes multitudes to its medicinal and culinary properties
  • How a seasonal herbal approach can provide a much-needed process of cyclical re-connection to the earth
 
A practice of living close to the land is deeply enriched through a daily relationship with herbs—in every season.
An accessible exploration of 48 medicinal and culinary herbs to grow and use year-round, with information on gardening, cooking, and integrating herbs as part of a holistic wellness routine.

This book is stunning! It's easy to read, or reference. The pages are well laid out. There's information on each herb, ways it is beneficial, ways to use it, and recipes. The pictures are gorgeous. It's a very inviting book. It would look great on a coffee table, and a wonderful addition to any home.

What a lovely book! I work with herbs a lot and I know that I will be trying out a lot of the recipes in this book. The book was nicely written, it provided so much useful information about the herbs and their benefits. This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone wanting to learn more about herbs.

What a beautiful book! This book details each and every herb, what it is used for, how to use it, where it comes from, and recipes associated with each herb. I think it's a great introductory book for those who are new to herbs because it breaks them down in easy to digest way but even those who are well seasoned will eat this book up. The breakdown by seasons makes it even better because now I know what herbs are most beneficial durin each season and I love that!

This was a super cohesive guide to herbs and their uses. I especially loved that it separated the herbs out by seasons!

Everything about this book has made me super excited! As a gardener and someone who prefers natural remedies when possible, Herbs in Every Season will be a must on my bookshelf. I love that the herbs are broken down into season and each one gives you uses for the apothecary, in the kitchen, growing and gathering, as well as other informational tidbits. This book is not only for those with experience, but also perfect for beginners because of the amount of information given, and the recipes are clear & uncomplicated.

The photography is a perfect match to the theme of this book, the colors are perfectly saturated and moody to give off more of an apothecary vibe. Layouts are a sort of make or break for me with garden books and cookbooks, and this one couldn’t have been done any better than it already is.

I can’t wait to garden for the 2025 season and I have a few more ideas thanks to Herbs in Every Season. I will continuously reference this book throughout the season and try out new to me herbal recipes and remedies.

Thank you NetGalley and Timber Press for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I’ll be recommending this book to my gardener friends and followers as soon as it releases.

This is a lovely book that gives overviews of 48 herbs and how to grow, forage and use them. There are one or two recipes for each and they are divided by season. Many need to be purchased if you live in a temperate climate, especially the ones listed for winter. There were times when I wished for more information, like I have read that there’s one kind of horsetail to use medicinally and I have always thought I had the wrong kind growing near me. He writes as if all horsetail is the same. As one online foraging site says, ˋ It is not uncommon for the different varieties of the horsetail plant to be confused with one another. You must be able to accurately identify the variety of horsetail plant you are foraging because not all varieties are equally infused with either herbal or edible properties.´ There were several times this happened. In general though, it is a well illustrated, interesting, helpful book, especially for those new to herbalism.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.
