I first spotted this book on a bookshelf at Barnes and Noble.  The title and the bright colors jumped out at me immediately and I'm not going to lie to you, my first thought was, "Oh my God, that looks so cheesy."

I'm no stranger to Renaissance Faires.  I've been visiting them regularly since high school.  My best friend even married a Knight that she met there and traveled the Ren Faire circuit with him, working jobs as an artist and a seamstress.  As for me?  I've never worked the circuit, though I have spent a few weekends as a merchant, selling and signing books or, in one instance, wind chimes.

Like I said, I've had more than my FAIRE share of experience with Renaissance world.  It's because of that experience that I decided that, cheesy cover or not, I had to read this book.

And can I tell you something?  It wasn't cheesy at all!  I downright LOVED this book.  It captured the atmosphere of the Renaissance Faire perfectly, from the smells to the sounds to the sights to the patrons.  I felt like I was there the entire time.  I also loved the characters, especially Suze and Will.  God, I want a Will.  He's wonderful.  Ro's journey to self-acceptance also reminded me of why I've worked so hard to become an author.  Back when I first started telling people I wanted to write, I was met with nothing but negativity and "you'll never make any money that way."  Is that really how people live their lives?  Is that really how I wanted to live my life?

I loved this book.  It reminded me of the sheer joy of doing what I love and of how beautiful and colorful this world is.  I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever followed their dreams.  Or who can't resist a cute guy dressed in ye olde Renaissance garb.

This is the best herbal book I've read by Rosemary Gladstar. The recipes are wonderful, if you can find all the ingredients. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in making their own herbal products. A+

I am so happy with this order!  Each one it's packed with not only label with name of herb, but the abilities as well.  They are fragrant and beautiful. The charm is an added bonus as is the muslin tea bag!  I will be ordering my

Rishi Turmeric Lemon tea is a fantastic combination of herbs.  I would add it to my list of go-to items for feeling under the weather along with chicken soup, but it's just too good to not have nearly everyday!  It soothes my throat and tastes delicious.  I'm not a fan of "plain" lemon teas, but this is great!

Tomatoes, cheese, onions, turkey, pork belly, brisket.....  I could go on, but if I need to then you are not paying attention. This is the best purchase I have made on Amazon this year!  I love this thing!

Spiced pumpkin and the basalm and cedar  are my favorite holiday scents! I recommend both of them, as they smell great and keep your rooms smelling wonderful!

The first three recipes I selected were wonderful.  They made use of our yellow summer squash and zucchini, as well as our bell peppers, tomatoes, jalapenos, and other summer garden produce.  Even when I varied the recipes to suit my taste, they were still excellent.  I then ordered it for my aunt who also has a big garden.

Sage is my absolute favorite! I buy this frequently for my house.

Very nice blend of finely ground cumin, onion, garlic, paprika, cilantro, red pepper, coriander and oregano.  I love this new blend because I have to be very careful not to irritate my diverticulitis with granulated black pepper.  These herbs do not cause flareups and pack a wonderful Mexican flavor when I sprinkle them on cheese quesadillas, bean soups, eggs, ground turkey, etc., and they are all organic!  Love it!!

Product has been unavailable for some time and I was happy to find it on Amazon.  Used it for years until Thymes discontinued it. Was told this was a special "edition" just released last Christmas, and I hope they will do it again this year, as I will order some for gifts if it is available.

This is a GREAT product!  I like to use fresh herbs and was really tired of buying "too much" and having to throw a lot away.  I'm able to keep cilantro, basil, and parsley long enough to use a bunch several times!  Love it!!!

As a mom of twin boys, I'm so conscientious of the foods that we eat and we buy organc as much as possible. This year, my hubs and I decided that we would expand our garden to include herbs as well

This is a great starter pack of organic herb seeds.

Included in this gift pack are the following herbs:
Basil Coriander, Mustard Mix, Parsley, Roquette (Arugula), Thyme, Sage, Asphodel, Dill and Melissa

If you don't have a green thumb yet, the directions for each herb and how to plant are provided so you will be on your way in no time getting that green thumb. Included as well are the labels and the sticks so you can label what you planted where.

It's almost planting time where we live so I'll be getting these sprouting very soon.

I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I was neither paid nor sponsored for my opinions--positive or otherwise--and all thoughts reflected in this review are solely my own

Authors have pulled together growing, caring for and cooking with herbs in Michigan.

They begin with nice section on 12 easy to grow kitchen herbs providing vitals on each such as how to grow, harvest,history and culinary uses.  This is followed by great ideas about designs in yard or garden or container, followed by recipes covering dining gamut from appetizers to desserts using Michigan available fresh ingredients.

Here are some samples: Wild Rice Blinis with Herb Topping Alternatives; Beef Tenderloin Salad with Thyme Balsamic Vinaigrette; Cherry & Apricot Stuffed Cornish Hens; Tequila Marinated Pork Tacos; Lemon Basil Buttermilk Pie.

Although there are no color photos, this is nicely done and informative with many ideas for herb use in cooking and baking.

Some time ago I went to see a friend, and when I entered the house I went crazy because the whole place smelled so wonderful! I couldn't believe how good I felt surrounded by this smell, how cozy and how relaxed. When she pointed to the Yankee Candle of Sage, right away I went to the stores searching for that. Unfortunately I could not find it anywhere, the only one I could find was sage and citrus together, which I didn't like. Thanks to Amazon I found it just Sage alone, I got it and I can't wait to light it tonight when the whole family will gather. In addition I am going to plant some sage in my backyard. Hurray ! Best smell I ever had.

A nice selection of seeds. Here are the results after a few weeks of sitting in my kitchen. From left to right you have dill, lavender and cilantro. This spot gets a good amount of daily sunshine.

I prepared the tea recipe with ginger and turmeric. It was delicious. I'm looking forward to trying more recipes soon.

This spice mix is new to me (and quite tasty) with a slight sweet-spicy tang and lovely aroma. I've added this to meatballs, roasted chicken and steamed vegetables so far and this spice combination really added a unique, distinctive 'secret ingredient' type of flavor.

I would highly recommend this if you like the individual spices included:
Cloves, Allspice, Black Pepper, Mace, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger, Turmeric, Rosebuds, Cumin, White Pepper, Coriander, Nutmeg, Saffron, Bay Leaves and Paprika.
