"What I liked best about this CD-ROM was that the information is scientifically based, with no hint of fraudulent intent. The information was assembled by a dietitian - Carol Coughlin, RD - for dietitians and other health care professionals, and it is presented with the idea that a plant-based diet is a foundation upon which herbs can be positioned. Many excellent recipes containing herbs are provided, with insightful ideas on how herbs can be used as seasonings. The information on medicinal herbs is sound, with traditional uses and claims balanced against recent research findings. The 2 PowerPoint shows are excellent and summarize all the pertinent information on culinary and medicinal herbs. The program is fun and easy to use… I highly recommend that you obtain Eat Your Herbs to glean the latest information regarding herbs." David G. Nieman, DrPH, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC.
