Making the list of Foodtank‘s 17 great book titles for spring, Jenni Blackmore’s The Food Lover’s Garden: Growing, Cooking, and Eating Well is described by the publisher as “foodie meets gardener in this deliciously accessible, easy-to-use guide to growing, cooking, and preserving twenty-some popular, easy-to-grow vegetables and herbs.” In other words, it takes you on a short-ish (but not to short), rewarding journey from growth to table.
