New Kitchen Garden: Organic Gardening and Cooking With Herbs, Vegetables, and Fruit

by Adam Caplin, Celia Brooks Brown

Growing your own herbs, vegetables and fruit organically, and harvesting them to make healthy meals, is fun and fulfilling. As New Kitchen Garden explains, the whole process can be much simpler than you imagine - even if your outdoor space is no more than a patio or a roof-top garden. Focusing on plants that are easy to grow, Adam Caplin takes a new look at the delights of cultivating edibles, showing how they can be grown - on their own in beds and containers, in mixed borders, and decoratively with flowers - for their ornamental as well as their nutritional value. Acclaimed cookery writer Celia Brooks Brown then takes the kitchen garden into the kitchen with 35 great vegetarian recipes - soups and starters, main courses, salads and light dishes, salsas and chutneys and sweet things.

This is a very cursory look at kitchen gardens along with some recipes. There wasn't enough information for me to be able to garden from it. The recipes are ones that I have in other cookbooks that talk about fresh and seasonal produce.

There are some pretty photos and you know that Caplan enjoys his garden. I guess it could serve as a starting point for some folks.
