I, Coriander

Product Information

A cross between a historical novel and a fairy tale. This young reader's novel has been compared to Cinderella But to me it also has similarities with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis. Beginning during the English Civil War of the 1640s Coriander is the child of a rich silk merchant and mother who is kindly 'cunning woman' and healer. Her mother dies and her father has to flee when accused of treason she is saddled with an evil step mother, Maud, who is fanatical Puritan and an even more diabolical zealous Puritan minister Arise Fell. Her ally is her nurse Miss Danes and Maud's battered and abused daughter. Hester This article contains Linear B Unicode characters.

I can just imagine reading this to little girls, who will inevitably beg for just one more chapter before having to go to bed. It's so easy to imagine said little girls dreaming of being a fairy princess, even though this isn't your typical fairy princess story.

Coriander ( / ˌ k ɒr i ˈ æ n d ər, ˈ k ɒr i æ n d ər/; [1] Coriandrum sativum), also known as cilantro ( / s ɪ ˈ l æ n t r oʊ, - ˈ l ɑː n-/), [1] :90 is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.

Cultivation

First attested in English during the late 14th century, the word "coriander" derives from the Old French coriandre, which comes from Latin coriandrum, [5] in turn from Ancient Greek κορίαννον koríannon (or κορίανδρον koríandron), [6] [7] possibly derived from or related to κόρις kóris (a bed bug), [8] [9] and was given on account of its foetid, bed bug-like smell. [10] Slugs and snails will feed on young coriander seedlings. They can be identified by the slime trails that they leave, as well as the damage they do. Germination of coriander takes up to 3 weeks. Thin young plants to 20cm apart to allow them to grow to their full size. Water them in dry periods and ensure the soil never dries out. If flowers develop remove them immediately – this ensures the plants focus their energy on growing new leaves. Re-sow coriander every three weeks to ensure you have a continual supply during the summer. It is not normally necessary to feed coriander if the soil is well nourished. However, if the plants appear to be suffering give them a liquid organic feed to perk them up. Growing Coriander in Containers Coriander is a tasty herb to grow, both for its leaves and seeds. If you re-sow seeds every three weeks you can have lush coriander leaves throughout the summer to add to salads and Asian dishes.

Fifteen desiccated mericarps were found in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B level (six to eight thousand years ago) of the Nahal Hemar Cave, published in Kislev 1988, and eleven from ~8,000–7,500 years ago in Pre-Pottery Neolithic C in Atlit-Yam, published as Kislev et al. 2004, both in Israel. If these finds do belong to these archaeological layers, they are the oldest find of coriander in the world. [18] :163 Arnott, Robert (2014). "Healers and Medicines in the Mycenaean Greek Texts".

It was so refreshing to finally have an author capture the true essence and dignity of a child. Here's the thing: Do you remember that teacher in school that gave you respect and treated you like an adult. You were held accountable, treated with respect, and your opinions were really appreciated. For some reason, people talk down to children or act like they are not that intelligent. Kinda like a person talking really loud and slow to a deaf person. It looks stupid and doesn't do a bit of good! Moulin, Léo (2002). Eating and Drinking in Europe: A Cultural History.

I may have read this a long time ago, but this reread showed that I still love the story. I'm really glad that I bought the book when I saw it.
