"If I could only choose one book to lead me from garden to kitchen
to make my own body care products, this would be the one. This book
is a keeper!"
--Marlene Adelmann, founder and director of The Herbal Academy
"This book is full of tested recipes and solid instructions. It has
a little bit of everything. I love the practical tips for handling
ingredients and safely storing your handmade products."
--Anne-Marie Faiola, founder of SoapQueen.com, owner of Bramble
Berry and author of Soap Crafting and Pure Soapmaking "Beautifully
arranged and photographed! Jan has finally taken her wonderful
recipes and gorgeous photography and created a dreamy handcrafter's
guide. Her whimsical formulas combine play and purpose, making this
a useful book to enjoy year-round."
--Holly Bellebuono, director The Bellebuono School of Herbal
Medicine and author of The Essential Herbal for Natural Health and
The Healing Kitchen "So many books provide recipes for the
do-it-yourselfer to make at home, but few give you tips for how to
craft your own recipes. I'm excited to make Jan's recipes, but
over-the-moon about the idea that her readers will be encouraged to
source simple ingredients from the backyard and get creative in the
kitchen to make natural bodycare products at home!"
-Dawn Combs, author of Heal Local and co-owner of Mockingbird
Meadows "Whether you have a small handful of dried calendula in the
cupboard or a yard full of dandelions you want to put to good use,
Jan Berry is your best friend. The deep connection she has with the
plants she works is evident as she introduces you to their
personalities and dreams up simple and creative ways to invite them
into your home. 'Nerdy' doesn't quite describe this farm wife's
enthusiasm for herbs--she's pure genius!"
- Rachael Brugger, managing editor at HobbyFarms.com and
