| 16 Aug 2018 | Kitchen Medicine: Herbal Butters and Tinctures featuring Sage | 00:37:33 | |
Grateful to have a large bunch of fresh sage! I’m infusing some into butter to make cookies then turning the rest into a tincture. This is my first recording while baking - please let me know if you like it and want to hear more baking episodes! Sage Infused Brown Butter
Heat butter in small saucepan over medium heat until melted. Cook until solids begin to brown about 6 minutes. Stir in sage and cook just until begins to crisp about 30 seconds. Whisk up brown solids and immediately pour into a glass bowl. Chill in refrigerator until just firm about 30 minutes. Sage Butter and Lemon Shortbread recipe here
Preheat oven to 300. Combine chilled sage butter and powdered sugar in bowl of electric mixer. Beat on medium high speed until light and creamy about 2 minutes. Add flour, salt and lemon zest, beat on low speed until just mixed through, scraping down sides. Transfer dough to a sheet of parchment paper and form into a rectangle with hands. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out to about 8 inches by 6 inches so rectangle is about a 1/2 inch thick. Remove top sheet of parchment paper. Transfer dough and bottom parchment paper to a baking sheet. Pierce all over with a fork. Bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown, rotate baking sheet once in middle. Remove from oven and while still warm cut into 1 inch cookies. Then cool completely. Store at room temperature. Fresh Sage Tincture 100 grams fresh sage 200 ml 190 proof alcohol such as Everclear Combine in mason jar so sage is completely covered with alcohol. Infuse at least 4 weeks. Strain and bottle liquid tincture.

| 16 Nov 2020 | Materia Medica: Plantain | 00:35:35 | |
The more I work with weedy plants from my yard and in my kitchen, the greater my confidence in them grows. Plantain is the perfect bridge for embracing the idea that plants growing around us are remedies readily available. Plantain is a rockstar for healing the skin and mucous membranes where it can soothe pain, cleanse and promote wound healing. What plantain heals externally it can also do internally.

| 09 Aug 2024 | Getting to Know Sumac, An Underutilized Herb | 00:46:11 | |
What makes a fruit or vegetable easy to find in grocery stores? While there are many answers to this question, a lot of edible medicinal herbs are not, herbs like nettles, burdock root and elderberries. To this list, I am adding sumac berries. Sumac may not give us delicious fruit, but there is good reason to get to know it better and I am doing this in my kitchen. And in case you are wondering, this is a totally different plant than toxic poison sumac. My favorite sources for dried sumac: Join me in this episode for more on sumac…its uses as a culinary spice and as an underutilized medicinal herb and also the difference between sumac and poison sumac.

| 14 May 2021 | Kitchen Medicine Broth Series: Chicken Stock | 00:30:55 | |
Could chicken soup be medicinal because of the plant and herbal ingredients?. Chicken adds nourishment but I propose the healing qualities are due to onions, thyme, bay leaves and pepper. Chicken Stock (from my kitchen) ½ gallon water (2 quarts) 3 pounds chicken bones (joints - wings, backs) 2 cups chopped onion 1 cup chopped carrot 1 cup chopped celery 1 Tablespoon thyme ½ Tablespoon pepper 2 bay leaves Run bones under cold water for 5 minutes, drain. Add bones to stock pot with water, bring to gentle simmer. Skim off impurities and fat that rises to the surface. Add mirepoix and herbs. Gently simmer uncovered, replenishing water as needed for 3-4 hours. Strain and cool quickly. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

Can we refashion the reputation of weeds? With many negative connotations surrounding weeds it’s hard to switch their image to foods and herbal medicines to love.

| 20 Apr 2023 | 53. Little Herb Saver: Part 2 Lemon Balm Monograph | 00:51:57 | |
The Little Herb Saver: Lemon balm is like a blanket of peace, calming a nervous stomach, reducing anxiety, elevating a gloomy feeling, and providing relief for sleepless nights. That’s a lot, but that’s also not all. Lemon balm is easy to grow, lovely to eat or drink as tea, powerful in its own right but not in a way that lends caution to using it. To get more lemon balm into our lives, can only be a good thing. And this is why I deem it a little herbal saver. Thank you for joining me for this part 2 lemon balm monograph. (Episode 52 is part 1) Lemon Balm Vinaigrette: 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 1 teaspoon chopped lemon balm Salt and pepper to taste Combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and dijon mustard. Whisk together until blended well. Stir in chopped lemon balm and salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator. Serve with fennel and radish salads.

| 15 Dec 2019 | Kitchen Medicine: Astragalus Chocolate Nut Truffles | 00:40:23 | |
Astragalus is one of the premier immune system nourishing and strengthening herbal medicines. The best way to use an immune system tonifying herb like astragalus is to begin taking it when you are not sick, beginning about six weeks prior to the height of cold and flu season. It’s ideal for incorporating into cooking on a daily basis. In this episode, I share a recipe for creamy chocolate nut truffles with a big dose of astragalus powder as an ingredient. Ingredients for Creamy Chocolate Nut Astragalus Truffles ½ cup figs, chopped, 1 cup almonds, ½ cup cashews, 3 TBS cocoa powder (additional cocoa powder for coating), 3TBS honey, 2TBS astragalus powder, 1tsp vanilla extract, 1tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ginger, pinch of salt Preparation Instructions: Soak figs in hot water for 30 minutes, then drain. Add both nuts to the food processor, process until forms a nut butter paste, about 2-3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and process again until blended to a smooth consistency. Chill for 1-2 hours, then roll 1tsp batter into truffle balls, then coat with additional cocoa powder, coconut or chopped nuts.

| 20 Feb 2024 | Kitchen Medicine: Pine Needle Salve | 00:55:04 | |
Pine trees are trees that are very familiar especially because of their long thin needles and pine cones. But they seem overlooked for their culinary and herbal remedy benefits. In this episode, I am back in my kitchen with elegant pine needles brewing a tea blended with warming spices and preparing a skin healing salve. I’ll talk you through all the steps. Thank you for joining me! Pine Needle Chai: 1 cinnamon stick 1 teaspoon dried ginger 2 teaspoons dried orange peel or zest of 1 orange 1 allspice berry ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 2 tablespoons chopped fresh pine needles or 2 teaspoons dried 1½ cups (12 ounces) water Combine all spices (not pine needles) and water in a small saucepan covered with a lid.. Bring water to a gentle boil on medium heat. Turn down to the lowest setting, simmer for 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat, add pine needles, continue to steep covered with lid for at least 30 minutes. Strain into a tea mug, add milk and honey to taste. Reheat as desired. Pine Needle Infused Oil: 2 tablespoons dried, powdered pine needles 8 ounces olive oil Heat 2 inches of water in the bottom of a double boiler to simmer. Combine dried pine needles and olive oil in the top of the double boiler and place on the bottom portion of simmering water. Place a paper towel on top of the pot and then cover with a lid. Heat oil and pine needles just to warm for 30 minutes, do not allow to simmer. Remove from heat and infuse for 30-60 minutes. Repeat the warming and infusing process three times. Strain through a double layer of cheesecloth and squeeze out as much oil as possible. Pine Needle Salve: 1 ounce (28 grams or ⅛ cup) beeswax pastilles 4 ounces (120ml) pine needle infused oil 20-30 drops pine essential oil Stainless steel tins with lids or other heat proof containers. Heat 2 inches of water in the bottom of a double boiler to simmer. If using beeswax in the form a a block, grate or pound with a hammer to break into small pieces. Add beeswax pastilles or small pieces from a block into the top of the double boiler with hot water in the bottom portion. Continue to heat on lowest setting until beeswax is melted. Add infused pine needle oil, this will cause beeswax to slightly solidify again, stir with oil until melted again. Remove from heat, add essential oil. Ladle mixture into the tins and leave at room temperature until salve has hardened. Cover with lids and label.

| 04 Sep 2022 | 51. Lemon Balm Scones are Medicine for the Baker | 00:38:03 | |
Baking and herbs both calm my heart and mind. In today’s episode, I am back in my kitchen baking scones with lemon balm infused heavy cream blended into the batter. Lemon balm is a delight to grow and the fresh leaves offer a beautiful perfumey aroma that can uplift a heavy heart and offer a peaceful moment. In the kitchen, it’s medicine for the baker. Lemon Balm Scones (if lemon balm balm is not something you have, give these a try using basil or thyme in its place) For lemon balm infused cream: approx ¾ cup (12g) fresh lemon balm leaves or ¼ cup dried lemon balm 1 cup plus ⅛ cup heavy cream In a medium saucepan, bring cream to scald over medium high heat, don’t boil, just heat until small bubbles form at edges of pan and cream begins to steam. Add chopped lemon balm leaves, stir to submerge. Remove from heat, cover with lid and steep for 25 minutes. Pour cream and lemon balm leaves into a blender and pulse to blend. Strain, reserving cream and measure 1 cup or 250g. Set aside for batter. Discard lemon balm leaves. Ingredients: 4 cups (500g) bread flour 2 tbsp (25g) baking powder 6 tbsp (80g) unsalted butter, cut to cubes, chilled 2 large eggs ⅓ cup (80g) granulated sugar 2 tsp lemon zest 1 cup (250g) lemon balm infused heavy cream Egg wash: 1 large egg beat with a pinch of salt Instructions: Sift together flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or hands, blend in chilled butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. In a separate medium sized bowl, mix wet ingredients with sugar. Whisk eggs, add sugar and lemon zest, whisk. Add lemon balm infused heavy cream and whisk to blend Pour wet ingredients into flour and butter mixture and gently stir together until begins to form a ball of dough. L Let rest for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a floured surface, knead gently until smooth. Press to flatten with a floured rolling pin and roll to a 1 inch high disc. Cut scones with a 2 inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, press down and lift, do not twist. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Refrigerate scones for at least 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 425F. Brush tops and sides of scones liberally with egg wash. Sprinkle with a bit of granulated sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Enjoy!

| 17 May 2022 | 050 Kitchen Medicine Broth Series:Ginger Stock | 00:33:49 | |
Rounding out my broth episodes with ginger provides the perfect example of how lovely tasting herbal tea can second as herbal broth which then infuses the food we eat with an extra layer of nourishment. Ginger is a great example, because it is such a foundational culinary herb with multitudes of methods and recipes incorporating ginger both fresh and dried.. As for soup, ginger itself may be added as an ingredient, it goes especially well with chicken soup or creamy carrot soup or a garlic lemongrass broth with noodles, But it can also be layered in as the actual broth or stock base to make a sublime and aromatic soup or stew creation. Listen in while I make a pungent ginger stock and then use it in mushroom soup. I hope you will simmer along with me. *Ginger Broth* makes 3-4 cups 4 cups (1 quart) water 4 inch piece fresh ginger root, chopped 1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 bay leaf 3 kafir lime leaf Salt to taste (optional, perhaps do not add if going to drink as tea) No need to peel the ginger because we will be staining it out. Combine water, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, fennel seeds lemon juice and lemon zest in medium saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat, reduce to low and simmer, covered for 30-45 minutes. Strain. To make mushroom soup - saute onions, leeks and garlic, combine 4 cups ginger stock with 3-4 cups water and simmer any mushrooms with potatoes, carrots and peas or any other vegetables you like. Season with salt and pepper. ---Deepest gratitude to Andrea Klunder, my podcast boss. Find her at thecreativeimposter.com.

What makes a tree medicinal? The answer to this question depends on the medicine we are searching for. Especially in spring, trees can be medicine for our eyes. After the grayness of winter, glorious flowering trees like dogwood and magnolia are sweet visions. Aside from landscaping decoration, both dogwood and magnolia along with many other trees,have long been used for strong medicines derived from their bark.Tree bark has phytochemicals that make it bitter, astringent, and highly antimicrobial. Bark is a tree’s protective layer, helping it to survive through winter cold and other dangers like bacteria, fungi and troublesome insects. The same phytochemicals in tree bark offer much medicine to humans as well. Join me in this episode for more on tree bark and the medicine of dogwood and magnolia trees.

Plant energetics is a way to understand how a plant can affect the body through our senses and how it feels in the body. Energetics is subtle, but so helpful when choosing herbs. The difference between warming and cooling plant energetics is like feeling the warmth of the sun versus a cool plunge into the ocean. In this episode, we delve deep into warming energetics and match these with a group of trees that provide great examples: evergreens. These trees have great potential for kitchen uses and herbal remedies. We talk all about juniper, fir, hemlock and spruce trees. Some examples of herbs with warming energetic qualities: ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne pepper, turmeric, garlic, rosemary, cumin, black pepper.
