The Grower's Cookbook is for people who like the idea of growing their own food, but have little expertise, limited space, and very little time. It has suddenly become very popular to grow your own veges - whether the motivation is environmental concerns or as a defence against the rapidly rising cost of store-bought vegetables. The Growers Cookbook shows you how, with minimum effort, you can have delicious fresh produce at your fingertips all year round. What to grow, how to plant from seeds, how to maintain your plants and when to harvest. It then provides a range of ideas for preparing, cooking, and preserving what you have grown. Included are modern recipes and traditional favourites, as well as tips for how to deal with an abundance of food. The recipes are all tested and easy to follow.
