Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman are America's foremost organic
gardeners--and authorities. Barbara is the author of The Garden
Primer, and Eliot wrote the bible for organic gardening, The New
Organic Grower. Today they are the face of the locavore movement,
working through their extraordinary Four Season Farm in Maine. And now
they've written the book on how to grow what you eat, and cook what you
grow.
The Four Season Farm Gardener's Cookbook is two books in one. It's a
complete four-season cookbook with 120 recipes from Barbara, a master
cook as well as master gardener, who shows how to maximize the
fruits--and vegetables--of your labors, from Stuffed Squash Blossom
Fritters to Red Thai Curry with Fall Vegetables to Hazelnut Torte with
Summer Berries.
And it's a step-by-step garden guide that works no matter how big or
small your plot, with easy-to-follow instructions and plans for
different gardens. It covers size of the garden, nourishing the soil,
planning ahead, and the importance of rotating crops--yes, even in your
backyard. And, at the core, individual instructions on the crops, from
the hardy and healthful cabbage family to fourteen essential culinary
herbs.
Eating doesn't get any more local than your own backyard.
