Julia BrownMy interest in the kitchen and the garden, inspired by the women in my life, quickly accelerated my desire and passion for all things herb related. Which in turn fueled my journey to become a Certified Master Herbalist. Fortunately, for me, my lovinghusband of 35 years and our 2 children all support my love and use of herbs both in the kitchen and medicinally speaking. We are fortunate to operate a small herbal education cabin here in rural Coshocton County Ohio, A Simpler Thyme ltd., which expresses that connection of farm to table and table to soul lifestyle. This cookbook and collection of recipes has long been a brain child of mine, that I'm thrilled to see come to life. I am a firm believer that our Heavenly Father put all things on this good earth for our benefit, herbs being one of them. After all, like my Mother often said "you are what you eat" and to quote Hippocrates "food should be thy medicine and medicine should be thy food", both being of sound advice. It is my sincere pleasure and honor to bring my passion for food and herbs to others, to experience and enjoy. But, also to spark an interest into the wonderful world of herbs and how they are linked to the food we eat and serve our families. I could dive into the depths of herbs: how to plant, nurture, wild craft, preserve and use their many benefits and properties, but that will have to wait for... A Simpler Thyme in the Garden!
