70+ nourishing recipes using adaptogens, herbs, and botanicals to heal, energize, and calm.
“With unique and enticing recipes, Jennifer McGruther shows readers how easy it is to welcome healing herbs into their homes and food traditions.”—Rosalee de la Forêt, author of Alchemy of Herbs and Wild Remedies
When used properly, plants provide a wealth of healing powers. Adaptogens (plant extracts that help the body adapt to stress) and herbs are some of the most potent sources of such energy and immunity—plus they have a host of additional health benefits. Cookbook author and blogger Jennifer McGruther of Nourished Kitchen expertly guides readers through the properties of herbal energetics and how to gain the most from these dynamic sources. Jennifer explains each function and application, and how to extract their benefits into tinctures, infused oils, teas and tisanes, vinegars, and more. And while store-bought adaptogenic powders and elixirs from popular retailers may be a hefty investment, Jennifer’s creations cost only a few dollars to make at home.
Vibrant Botanicals provides more than 70 recipes for helping you feel your best when using herbal infusions. You’ll discover how cacao and licorice naturally awaken the body and can be incorporated into granolas, beverages, and breakfasts to jump-start your day. Garlic, astragalus, reishi, and more are showcased in homemade broth and fire cider to help build immunity; while passionflower, ashwagandha, and chamomile are mixed into creamy milk blends and teas to ensure peaceful sleep.
Whether you are looking to fortify digestion, lift your spirits, or just enjoy a good night’s rest, Vibrant Botanicals provides the natural solution, through nourishing and herbal-rich recipes.

Absolutely love this book!
This book is so well done! I am new to herbs so I needed a read which was manageable and not the size of an encyclopedia. This book, albeit does not cover all herbs on this planet, does a good job of mentioning quite many along with their medicinal benefits, followed by a few recipes on each. For a starter or for someone who’s wanting to increase herbal intake in their lives, or wants to learn the basics and some valuable insights, this book will get you on the right path. Besides, the book is put together really well, high quality paper and photography, just overall impressive. Great job!

Highly Recommended!
I have many herbal books at this point and this one is one of my favorites. It is full of information without being overwhelming. It also focuses on using herbs in food and drinks, which I really enjoy. While you can always take a capsule of herb, you get much better results and experience using the whole herb. I have made many of the recipes now and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The book itself is very beautiful and the recipes are easy to follow with common to find ingredients. Overall, I really enjoy this book and use it on a daily basis. Would highly recommend!

The perfect cookbook for 2021
This is my third cookbook from Jenny @ Nourished Kitchen and it may be my favorite. As always, her recipes are delicious and nutritious and she writes in a way that is fun and educational. And the photography is beautiful! I really love some of the adaptogen recipes and the immunity broth, especially as we’re all looking to bolster our immune systems right now. This is one of the rare cookbooks that gets stored in the kitchen.

Get this cookbook!
This book is beautiful. Well-written with a ton of useful information. I have an herbalism background and I still learned a lot from what I have read so far. So many ways to infuse herbs into your food and drinks! Jenny is so knowledgeable and you can tell when you make her recipes. Highly recommend! Also, it stays open to the page you are using which I love in a cookbook!

Excellent and beautiful!
Wow! This book is an amazing resource for everything from immunity to sleep! I am learning so much! I already started my ferments and fire cider and can’t wait to try them in a month or so.This book is beautifully photographed as well. It is full of helpful tips and easy to digest information. There is a whole section on sourcing and safety – which I really appreciate. This is a must have for anyone looking to learn more about herbal remedies and support. So glad I bought this one!

Fantastic readable research
Great combination of clear written instructions, beautiful illustrative photographs, and tasty, healthful recipes. McGruther describes various adaptogens and other healing herbs as well as methods to use the herbs, then presents a variety of recipes featuring the herbs discussed. The recipes include fresh salads, hearty broths, and fresh drinks. References and a four-page index are included in the back. A beautiful and informative book.
