Grow and  cook your own vegetables. This book is about how to grow 40 of the most  popular vegetables with a look at their history and nutritional values.   Recipes that accompany each vegetable provide an abundance of ideas  for preparing and cooking them. 

Grow your  own – squashes and pumpkins; mouthwatering purple-sprouting broccoli;  delicious beetroot; crunchy mangetout; luscious leeks; succulent curly  kale or wonderful deep red radicchio – to name just a few. With careful  planning you should have a succession of vegetables all year round. If you  don’t have the space to grow them all, buy from your local farm shop or  farmers’ market and try some of the unusual recipes enclosed in this  book.  

Included are  more than 200 recipes – soups; main courses and side dishes in the form  of soufflés, purées, fritters, gratins and tarts; salads; chutneys; even  cakes, scones and muffins. Try: Jerusalem artichoke and butternut squash  soup; creamy cabbage bake; cauliflower and stilton soufflé; broad beans  with cream and bacon; purple-sprouting broccoli with walnut butter;  parsnip, date and ginger loaf; beetroot and chocolate cake; carrot  muffins.  


The  recipes are mainly vegetarian but some include fish, chicken or bacon.   All use wholesome easy-to-find ingredients and are mostly quick and  simple to prepare. They are down-to-earth, nutritious recipes for the  family cook.

Once  you’ve planted, harvested and tasted your own produce, you’ll never  be satisfied with anything else!
