Wonderfully presented. Course instructor is very knowledgeable and that comes through in her teaching. Can’t wait to try some of her herbal recipes. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and also the recommendations for ordering reputable herbal products. Would take more of her courses. Thank you!

I loved the course. It is informative, inspiring, clear, and very practical. I really appreciate the no-fuss, hands-on approach to individual recipes. I have tried and enjoyed many of them, and now I am retaking the course to refresh my knowledge of the theoretical background. This unlimited access thing is really great.

She had good intentions but the course was poorly delivered. A lot of repetition of adaptogens, and little content on other topics. The recipe that called for bee products, that was deleted from the recipe.. whilst understandable from a sustainability stand point, should have been updated to a new recipe.

Elizabeth is a great instructor, I've taken several of her classes and not only learned a lot but enjoyed the presentation. My mouth has been watering as Elizabeth prepared soups. salads, stews and even energy bars. Each of these come with printable recipes so that that we can all try our hand at making these heathy dishes.

I have been making the healing stew for quite a while now, every time my family is sick. It is truly healing. This one recipe is worth the whole course. I would take any course given by this teacher. All the other recipes are great but the healing stew is a staple in my family. I cannot recommend it enough to everyone.

Very well presented and easy to understand. Most of the ingredients were know to me while others i haven't heard of. (lol) Will try one or two specially the tea.

Too much buffering. Pausing and taking too much time to load. I don’t know if that has to do with my tablet, internet or the app. Other than that, Elizabeth Heck is a wonderful teacher and goes into detail, about each of the spices, herbs, oils and vegetables and their health benefits. She also introduces vegetables that one never heard about.
By Tom Baeli on 8/1/2018
Nice presentation. balance between educational and down to earth recipes. Easy to make herbal foods (energizers!). simple, practical. Elizabeth is a good ambassador for herbs and their use in the kitchen, the place where healing begins. I'd drink to that (chai of course)
By Abagale Winters on 3/4/2016
Although I had known about some of these foods and herbs, this course introduced me to great ways to use them and easily start incorporating them into my diet daily. I most appreciated that the recipes were not only easy to follow, but that many of the recipes included multiple amazing ingredients. Just what I was looking for. Brilliant!
By Melody Grace - Jyoti Ma on 11/25/2015
When I saw "Superfoods" I thought of blueberries and chia seeds... I was surprised and pleased that the course introduced new foods I never would have thought to incorporate into my daily diet. I'm excited to try the new recipes and seek out other various ways of using Elizabeth's suggested superfoods :) The videos were clear and easy to follow. I also appreciated the resources for actually finding the foods- that's always been my challenge with these types of foods! Greater health- Here I come :)
