Kim has just published a book: "Hidden Histories: Herbs" brings together the extraordinary and largely forgotten stories of 150 special plants that are still put to culinary, medicinal and cosmetic preparations today. The book includes traditional tips for flavouring a medieval pottage and how certain plants are ideal for poultices and what plants ward off evil spirits.
