About This Item
Henry Holt & Co, 1997. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good . 8x1x9. A book for gardeners and cooks interested in unique flavors, colors, and history in their produce. A comprehensive guide based on meticulous first-person research to 300+ plants, making it a book to come back to season after season. A staunch supporter of organic gardening techniques, Will Weaver has grown every one of the featured varieties of vegetables, and he walks the novice gardener through the basics of planting, growing, and seed saving. Sprinkled throughout the gardening advice are old fashioned recipes - such as Parsnip Cake, Artichoke Pie, Pepper Wine, and Henry Ward Beecher's Favorite Turtle Bean Soup - that highlight the flavor of these vegetables. This is the first comprehensive garden book on this subject that also includes meticulous research on the origins and dates of introduction for most of the varieties discussed, as well as fascinating stories and lore about the vegetables.
