Expeditions with the Herb Fairy - Over 100 herbs, fruits, blossoms, and mushrooms - Recipes for food, natural cosmetics, and health - From early spring to winter. In her sixth book, Kräuterfee Elisabeth Mayer provides a personal insight into her year and describes her main focus in each of the seven seasons: from gathering the first tender herbs in early spring to enjoying juicy berries and mushrooms in summer, and harvesting in autumn to stock up for winter. The Herb Fairy briefly presents more than 100 of her favorite flowers, herbs, mushrooms, and wild fruits and reveals her best recipes: both culinary delights - from herbal soups, strudels, breads, and sweets to smoothies, juices, and jams - and remedies for health (herbal elixirs, tinctures, ointments), well-being (bath chocolates, body wraps), and cosmetics.
