The Grower’s Cookbook: From the garden to the table
By Dennis Greville and Jill Brewis
(Jacana)
Anyone with a kitchen garden will know how fantastic it feels to cook with your very own organic veggies, herbs and fruits. It’s healthy, tastes a hundred times better than shop-bought varieties, saves money and once you’ve tried it, there’ll be no going back.
In this book, Dennis and Jill will get you into the garden. They show you how to make the most of the space you have, what to grow and when. They’ve included tried and tested simple recipes and also give ideas on preparing, cooking, storing, freezing and preserving your produce.
Try making your own jams, jellies and chutneys, salads, herb vinegars, dressings, butters and oils, grilled veggies, soups, hearty main dishes and fruity desserts.
The section on taking care of your edible garden includes organic sprays that you can easily make up to control insects and caterpillars. – Juliette Donkin
