Growing, Harvesting, Buying, Storing by Mike McGrath |
|
| Did you know that if you can't smell
a strawberry, it won't have any taste? That lemon thyme is as effective
a mosquito repellent as DEET? That corn with kernels in the straightest
lines will taste the best? Do you know which vegetables should never go
in the refrigerator? And which freeze beautifully? All of these questions-and
many more-are answered in this indispensable guide to vegetables and fruits,
whether you shop for them in a farmers' market, buy them in a supermarket,
or grow them in your own kitchen garden.
Organized alphabetically from artichoke to zucchini, the main section of the book provides detailed information on how to grow, harvest, select, and store each type of produce, accompanied by magnificent full-page photographs made especially for this book. Also featured are sections on kitchen garden basics, hardware, and the cycle of life (which covers such topics as starting seeds, nurturing, and harvesting). A wonderful combination of beauty and practical advice, this glorious book is essential for anyone who buys produce or owns a kitchen garden. |
