Perfect Preserves: Provisions from the Kitchen Garden Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had never even imagined preserved lemons before, but I could not resist the picture in this book. With some lemons from a neighbor's tree, I made them. The pictures in this book are exquisite and inspiring. What I like best, however, is that the author has included recipes in which you can use your preserves. Too many books out there have recipes for the preserves only and leave you wondering how to use them if you never have before. This book is a must have for the beginning and the serious canner.

The Kitchen Garden (Tp) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"The Kitchen Garden" is devoted, as author Sylvia Thompson tells us forthrightly in the introduction, to the "unusual and rare" greens that most of us cannot find at the average American market. The book is divided into sections highlighting Asian greens, mustard greens, potherbs, and salad greens, with other entries being more descriptive: "Beans for Frying," "Cooking and Slicing Onions," and so forth.
Each entry gives not only the most typical gardener's name for a plant, but the Latin name and any other monikers as well. What follows each is her description of both the plant and her own experience with it; these miniature essays are the book's greatest pleasure, each being a deft weave of history, fact, and Thompson's own opinionated tips.
If your particular corner of God's green earth is too dry, too shady, or too anything, you will still be able to find some sort of solution for your problem in the graphically beautiful and informative pages of "The Kitchen Garden."
