The Cook’s Garden – Sheridan Rogers

Where would the cook be without the garden? The Cook’s Garden celebrates the exquisite relationship between the garden and the cook, guiding the reader in how to use seasonal produce to its best advantage.

This exciting, beautifully–illustrated book by one of Australia’s most experienced and passionate food writers is packed with enticing and useful information about growing over 90 fruits, herbs and vegetables.

The 300 simple yet imaginative recipes reflect the wide variety of produce available, taking advantage of the seasons and harvests, ensuring freshness and quality. The author explains how to grow over 90 fruits, herbs and vegetables, outlines their history and includes inspiring recipes for each.

The Cook’s Garden could not be more timely, with those who love food and preparing it, then sharing it with loved ones, becoming increasingly mindful of where produce comes from. They are seeing that there is great pleasure to be had in growing your own fruit and vegetables. And they see that there’s something romantic about doing that in their own lives.

With Spring in the air I can’t wait to try out a few recipes from the Cook’s Garden, and possibly even extend my garden for the seasons to come.
