This volume of edible landscaping looks at French vegetables and variations on the traditional French parterre garden, in which edibles are grown right along with flowers in formal settings. Along with a fascinating history and tour of French gardens, Creasy introduces "cut-and-come-again" and other harvesting methods used in France.
"Favourite French Garden Recipes" provides recipes for everything - from starters to desserts - using the vegetables and fruits covered in the book. The "Preparation Methods" section is a clear and simple guide to French cooking methods.
