The California Wine Country Herbs & Spices Cookbook ... Yes, I did admit I’m a cookbook junkie. I guess
there are worse habits :-) And when I saw The California Wine Country Herbs & Spices Cookbook by Virginia & Robert
Hoffman (The Hoffman Press, PO Box 2996, Santa Rosa, CA 95405; 1998; softcover; 240 pages; $14.95; ISBN"
0-9629927-7-1) I quickly started searching through it for ideas for some of the more unusual herbs and I was pleased
to find some. There was "Seared Venison Tartar with Pink Peppercorn Crust and Pickled Beets" and a "Cilantro Cured
Salmon" along with lots of new ways to incorporate the traditional basil, marjoram and ginger into recipes from 96
winery chefs and winemakers. And there are suggestions on what wine to serve. You’ll find some here that will
become your favorites too.
Cancer Salves: A Botanical Approach to Treatment ... Dr. Ingrid Naiman, Seventh Ray Press (North Atlantic Books
is coming out with an updated version of this any day); 1997. This book is so wonderful that we even excerpted a
chapter on our website at http://www.herbnet.com (Herb Press area). And after meeting Ingrid in person and having
her speak at our San Antonio conference I want to give this book even more press because the concepts are so
fascinating. She discusses protocol for using plant based salves to pull tumors out of the body. I’ve talked to 2 of her
patients and their stories were amazing. Highly recommended. And check out her website at
