Plant-Based Magic: 120 Seasonal Recipes for Healing Body and Soul    by Lisanna Wallance Order:  USA  Can The Experiment, 2026 (2026) Hardcover, e-Book      Reviewed by Hilary Williamson Clinical herbalist Lisanna Wallance's Plant-Based Magic offers '120 Seasonal Recipes for Healing Body and Soul', all plant-based and gluten-free. As I flipped through the pages, the mouthwatering photographs drew me in - into the book and my kitchen! Recipes are organized first by Season (starting with Spring) and then into Mains & Sides, Desserts, and Potions. But first our author shares some background - on what drove her own interest in herbal medicine and nutrition, as well as Pantry Staples, Herbal Apothecary Staples, Plant-Based Diet Tips, Herbalism 101 and Potion Extraction Methods. Next the recipes! I jumped straight to where I am now, in Autumn. Lots of cauliflower in my grocery store, so I'll try the Golden Cauliflower with Scallion Ginger Cream (for inflammation relief). Beet-Leek Quiche (for defense) is also a must, though I do need to stock up on arrowroot flour and flaxseed). On the sweet side Marzipan Muffins (for mood balance) appeal. Looking ahead, I'll have to bake Spiced Speculoos Cookies for the holidays. Many of the Potions, like Hawthorn Hibiscus Tonic, appeal, though acquiring the required ingredients for those might take some effort. Whether or not you are fully vegan, these healthy and appetizing recipes inspire and will enhance any meal!
