While the book focuses on planting an easy-to-grow kitchen garden, it also provides 99 mouth-watering recipes and includes suggestions for complementary floral decorations, sample garden designs, seasonal menus, and a list of tasks for the garden according to the season. More than 180 gorgeous photographs illustrate the plants, recipes, and table decorations. In short, The Kitchen Garden Companion provides a roadmap for gardeners who want it all-the freshness and wholeness of fruits and vegetables plus the beauty of cultivated (or wild) flowers. This is gardening at its richest and most satisfying.
