No book has ever made it so easy for the gardener-cook to get the most from his fresh veg, herbs and leaves. Britain's favourite gardener, Carol Klein, considers every stage in the process - from harvesting through storing to cooking. In 4 seasonal chapters Carol considers approximately 40 ingredients. For each she details which parts of the plant you can eat, how to cook it when it's young or old, and how to store it (usually on the plant or in the soil), enabling you to enjoy all sorts of varieties and parts of plants you could never find in a shop. With the help of clear step-by-step photography, Carol also shows you how to harvest the plant to achieve the best quality whilst preserving the ground for next year's crop (for instance, use a small fork when unearthing your roots and you'll protect the worms who will give you great soil for next year; leave onions on the soil to dry out before transporting them into the house for storage). Plus there are 100 fresh and easy recipes, enabling you to make the most of your fresh produce.
