Editorial Reviews

Review

You don't need an allotment, a vegetable plot or even a garden to grow your own organic fruit and vegetables. Many are amenable enough to be grown in containers which, with due care and attention, will produce the freshest ingredients possible for your table. With a small garden, vegetables can be intermingled with flowers, the scarlet stems of chard, the mottled leaves of courgettes and the feathery foliage of fennel mixing happily with herbaceous perennials, adding structure and interest. Runner beans growing over arches, strawberries pendulating from hanging baskets, will all imbue your garden with extra interest. Garden writer and journalist, Adam Caplin, leads the reader clearly through the basics of organic fruit and vegetable cultivation, offering inspirational planting plans captured in glorious photographs to tempt the mind. Finishing with an exciting collection of recipes by Celia Brooks Brown with which to utilise your home-grown produce, this is an interesting and inspiring book for novice fruit and vegetable growers. - Lucy Watson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

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.
