The Apothecary Chef: Recipes with Beneficial Herbs & Plants for a Long and Healthy Life celebrates cooking with herbs and plants to support health, wellbeing, and longevity. Featuring 80 specially photographed recipes and a directory of 50 edible plants, the book explores the role of nature in everyday cooking—from gut health and immunity to calm and resilience. Author Natasha MacAller, a former professional ballerina turned chef and cookbook author, collaborates with award-winning chefs including April Bloomfield, Olia Hercules, Peter Gordon, Skye Gyngell, and more, bringing together global perspectives on flavour and wellbeing. The book also includes guidance on seasonal eating, growing herbs at home, and sourcing and using medicinal plants in everyday cooking.
