(More customer reviews)If you're like me you love the idea of growing vegetables and herbs and promptly went out and created a backyard garden.However, whereas you decided to grow a few tomatoes and they were great for awhile, you found yourself with a dozen tomatoes, loads of zucchini and herbs that grew taller than you thought they would - and you don't know what to do with them.
Fortunately, this book is the solution to those of you who don't know what to do with all of your home grown vegetables; It is specifically designed for that purpose.
A friend of mine gave me this book and after glancing through it I was completely blown away at the contents.By subject, it starts with the vegetable that matures first in a normal harvest year and gives information on it, maybe a bit of history and then several recipes.Don't know what to do with all your tomatoes?This will give you some ideas rather than letting them rot in the compost.
Not only that it also talks about basic sauces, herbs and mixtures that you could pay a fortune for but you could make with everything in your yard!Pesto is a good start as basil grows like a wonderful weed and I was able to create four pints with all of my remaining basil of the season.Or, the very expensive Herbes de Provence is actually a mix of 8 herbs that you can mix yourself, store and even give to friends.Helps you save a buck!Or try making herbed croûtons from scratch.It's easier than you think.
This goes over every vegetable you can think of and is simply loaded with easy recipes and even seemingly complicated gourmet dishes.A few examples: colcannon, lamb-stuffed eggplant, cheese and vegetable crepes, ratatouille, creamed spinach, latkes, hummus, kung pao chicken, snapper on a bed of leeks, baked tomatoes with goat cheese... the list is endless.It even tells you what to do with celery outside of spreading peanut butter on them.
If you grow your own vegetables this is a must-have!I believe every summer I'll be perusing this on a weekly basis.Five stars - hands down.
PS. The cheesy zucchini puffs are a MUST!Great way to get rid of too much zucchini, kids gobble them up and I've had nothing but rave reviews of this recipe and four requests for it already.
Again, a great buy!
