Herbs in Every Season is a well written, graphically appealing, easy to understand and use herbal with info curated and arranged by Bevin Cohen. Due out 25th March 2025 from Hachette on their Timber Press imprint, it's 252 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.
Arranged by seasons, it features herbs when they're each at their prime, with profiles, uses, recipes, culture & harvesting info, botanical name and history. Each profile includes lots of clear color photos (including the products made from the herbs). Recipe ingredients (other than the botanicals themselves) will be mostly readily available at coops/health food stores/international groceries in most of North America.
Recipe ingredients are in a bullet list, followed by step by step crafting/cooking instructions. Ingredient measures are given in imperial (American) units. There's a good mix of herbal recipes including teas, salves, balms, lotions, infusions, and fire cider.
Four and a half stars. Well written, accessible, beautifully photographed, and full of good usable recipes. It would be a good choice for public library acquisition, home library, smallholder/homesteader, community or allotment gardening groups, etc.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
