Synopsis

Growing your own herbs, vegetables and fruit organically, and harvesting them to make healthy meals, is fun and fulfilling. As New Kitchen Garden explains, the whole process can be much simpler than you imagine - even if your outdoor space is no more than a patio or a roof-top garden. Focusing on plants that are easy to grow, Adam Caplin takes a new look at the delights of cultivating edibles, showing how they can be grown - on their own in beds and containers, in mixed borders, and decoratively with flowers - for their ornamental as well as their nutritional value. Acclaimed cookery writer Celia Brooks Brown then takes the kitchen garden into the kitchen with 35 great vegetarian recipes - soups and starters, main courses, salads and light dishes, salsas and chutneys and sweet things.
