Aromatherapy

Although aromatherapy most commonly centers around the use of essential
oils and other volatile plant oils, Aromatherapy in the Kitchen
emphasizes the use of commonly available, fresh culinary herbs. I am especially
delighted at this focus in the book since cooking with essential oils
can be unsafe for those not adequately familiar with essential oils and
their safe use.
Although other books abound on cooking
with herbs, Aromatherapy in the Kitchen is especially unique as
it focuses on achieving specific aromatic and emotional results by preparing
and enjoying delicious meals.
The authors say it well in the following
paragraph:
"While cooking with herbs is nothing new, we
wanted to bring the full sensory benefits of herbs, flowers and other
essences into the kitchen in order to turn simple cooking into a complete
aesthetic experience for the mind, body and spirit. Food preparation
and feasting can and should involve all of our senses, so we decided
to create a cuisine designed to influence mood using the principles
of aromatherapy. Although traditional aromatherapy uses essential oils,
we like to broaden this to include the practice of extracting essential
oils directly into food through the preparation and cooking processes.
The roots, leaves, stems, bark, flowers, seeds and fruit peels of whole
aromatic plans contain the same essences used to make essential oils,
and although less concentrated, they have the same therapeutic qualities."
