More than 150 recipes for making the most of your home-grown fruit and vegetables--from warming soups and bakes to vibrant summer salads and tangy preserves. There is nothing as satisfying as growing your own produce--home-grown fruit and�
vegetables, picked and used at the height of freshness, are more tasty and nutritious than�
any grocery store offerings. Not only that, but they also cut down on food miles and can be�
a far more budget-friendly way to eat.
Home-grown Harvest is a celebration of the bounty�
you can grow in your garden, backyard, or even windowbox. Cultivating your own fruit�
and vegetables does not have to mean eating the same dishes days in a row to use up�
produce. Instead, this book will show you how to use creatively what you grow in an array�
of exciting combinations. Simply organized, the book makes each vegetable or fruit the�
star of its own chapter, providing a wealth of different recipes to use up any gluts you may�
have (from the backyard or a trip to the farmers' market). From fresh dishes such as Triple�
Tomato Risotto with Basil or Strawberry Tiramisu, to preserves and chutneys, which can�
be stored for future use, each recipe is selected because it is rich in fresh produce. With�
handy cross-reference lists for making dishes using variety of fresh ingredients, tips and�
hints for preparing vegetables, and beautiful photographs throughout,
Home-grown�
Harvest is an invaluable guide to cooking seasonally and eating very well indeed.
