Renee's second book is one of the most consistently used cookbooks in our kitchen. We like the simplicity of the recipes and the focus on using fresh herbs. Many dishes in this book are now our family favorites.

More Recipes from a Kitchen Garden and it's predecessor, Recipes from a Kitchen Garden, are the first cookbooks I turn to when looking for recipes. The cookbooks are organized by vegetable type, making it easy to make a meal out of whatever is fresh and abundant in the garden or at the farmer's market. There are also delicious recipes for lesser known vegetables such as kohlrabi and tomatillos. This cookbook is a must for any gardener or cook!

This is the second of this series that I have. I enjoyed their recipes when they were included in the Shepherd Seed Catalog, so I also enjoy them in this recipe book. Lots of good recipes, particularly as the veggies ripen in the summer.

If you have a kitchen garden, you'll love this book - it's a gold mine of great recipes for everything you grow. I especially like the way it is organized by vegetable so I can look up ideas of how to use whatever I'm harvesting that day.

I got this book about 5 year ago, maybe a little longer. I've made several of the recipes, all were okay, none were terrible, but not a single one really worth making again. A lot of the others that I haven't made just don't inspire me. Look through the book before purchasing. I much prefer the Wilson Farm Country Cookbook and Janet Ballantyne's Joy of Gardening Cookbook. Several of the recipes in those books have become family favorites.
