As every gardener knows, theres no stalk of asparagus as wonderful as one you raised yourself. From all over the globe, here are the recipes the home gardeners been waiting for: ones that showcase the harvest. There are recipes for elegant occasions, like artichoke hearts with caviar, as well as quick supper ideas in simple one-line recipes. Thompson uses every edible part of a plant, from broccolis delectable leaves to carrot tops. There are great ideas for end-of season vegetables as well as information on what to do with the plants that inevitable get away from you. Almost everyone who gardens or has access to a farmers market has been intrigued by the proliferation of Asian greens and vegetables, but theres scant information available on how to cook them. For these and the other exotic produce coming onto the market, Thompson explains how to deal with them in the kitchen to bring out their best. Her salads are marvelous tangles of little leaves like miners lettuce, purslance, or tatsoi, sometimes sparked with edible blossoms. To keep the harvest, there are complete instructions for making everything from sauerkraut preserves to your own hominy to your own home-milled corn flour. Each vegetable, herb, and fruit has nutritional notes, as well as information on its affinities in the kitchen. For Thompson these living things have definite personalities, and thats the source of her extraordinary inspiration. Even cooks whose garden is the farmer's market will want to explore this exceptional collection of over 300 recipes.

A Celebration of Heirloom Vegetables
by Roger Yepsen
a celebration of heirloom vegetables: Growing and Cooking Old-Time Varieties Tiny dried beans with the grand name of Cherokee Trail of Tears. Melons with a fanciful moniker like Moon and Stars. Parsnips, raised underground in Wisconsin, with the tropical scent of coconut. Green tomatoes that taste ripe and wonderful. They're all heirloom vegetables--old-time varieties that nature alone has produced, untouched by genetic scientists and modern technology. In A Celebration of Heirloom Vegetables they're showcased brilliantly. Author Roger Yepsen observed scores of these living antiques as they grew in his garden and has painted a picture, in words and watercolors, of each of them in all their glorious color and form. Nearly fifty full-color, full-size illustrations make it clear that these varieties have survived on the strength of their personality--distinctive flavor, scent, and texture--and their looks, from strange and exotic and even ugly to startlingly beautiful. Heirloom gardening and cooking is a wonderful way to rediscover the diversity and richness of our grandparents' favorites and put them back on our table. More than 60 recipes, some of them heirlooms themselves, written and developed by Roger Yepsen. Mail-order seed sources and a complete bibliography, including books, periodicals, and organizations in the United States and Canada.

The Kitchen Garden Cookbook
Thompson, Sylvia
Bantam, 1995. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Light edge wear to jacket and book. Inside is clean and excellent. Hardcover with unclipped dustjacket. Midwest Book Review: Cook and preserve homegrown produce through this fine internationally-influenced collection which emphasizes using garden veggies. From an African Chicken and Okra Stew with Peanut Sauce to Creamy Onion Pie, this includes dishes which require a degree of preparation, but which will intrigue vegetarian and vegetable cooks looking for something different. From Publishers Weekly: Most vegetable recipes, contends Thompson in this stellar companion to The Kitchen Garden (reviewed above), have been designed "to disguise lackluster storebought produce-it's smoke and mirrors with razzle-dazzle seasoning." In their stead she offers "no disguises" and "little that's complex." Fresh, homegrown vegetables and fruits star in a glittering panoply of recipes, organized alphabetically by main ingredient. Thompson generally calls for little fat, and throughout she suggests a myriad of variations and ideas for substitutions. As might be expected from a Southern Californian, there are many Mexican-inspired dishes (Dent Corn and Ancho Chili Pudding), but Thompson samples cuisines from Indonesia to Ireland, including the likes of Doukhobor Borscht and Tanzanian Coconut Kala Chana Beans over Rice. A great boon to untimely gardeners are such recipes as Bolting Lettuce Soup and Linguine with Flowering Broccoli. The brief "Cook's Notebook" defines such terms as blanching and includes a few basic related recipes, e.g., vinaigrette dressing and flaky pastry. Photos not seen by PW.
