I am always looking to make better use of the produce from our garden, and (being a wonderful, wildlife – friendly garden) our main products are in fact stinging nettles and dandelions!
The whole family enjoys watching “Country File” on BBC1 on Sundays (although I rarely have time – too busy with all this stuff!). This Sunday my son called me down to watch a section on the New Forest (my favourite place, he knows), and this was rapidly followed by a section on cooking dandelion soup!
Now I have tried nettle soup (not bad, considering) but not the culinary management of dandelions – knowing as I do that its herbal strength is in its diuretic properties. So this soup sounded rather interesting! I would be more than happy to try it.
Now I find that my good friend Madeleine Giddens of “Mad About Herbs” has mentioned the same programme in her blog - and included some recipes!
Take a look!
Love & light,

Natural remedies and herbal remedies in general are much safer than presciption medicines, but we still need to consult a physician before making any type of decision about medicine. Even though natural and herbal cures are safe for the most part, they may not be the best treatment for that particular condition
