I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very informative book with beautiful pictures and helpful charts.

Spice Apothecary provides a history of spices plus recipes for spice blends according to both types of cooking and health benefits. Before even finishing the book, I went ahead and made the Peppery Synergy Blend, which supports digestion, balances blood sugar, and reduces inflammation. I added some into a pot of my homemade bone broth which can only enhance the health benefits as well as giving it another level of flavor. I’m going to try it in my Apple cider vinegar drink as well.

There are many other spice blends I plan to try, both for flavor and health benefits.

I would like to see more recipes and ideas for all the spice blends. Perhaps that will come in a follow up book.

Cooks and those interested in natural healing and healthful cooking will enjoy this book. #SpiceApothecary #spices #BevinClare #netgalley

This book is very visually-appealing, taking a lot of information and boxing it up in small packages that make it easy to study one piece at a time. The infographics and illustrations are reminiscent of Rothman's 'Anatomy' series. Each spice comes with information, historic use, medicinal use, dosage, and recipes. This is one we'll be using along with home economics!

Nice starter guide on spices. Would love to see more less-known spices instead of the usual garlic, rosemary. Expected more. Did receive a few minutes of knowledge.
