I have incredibly high expectations for Stephanie Alexander's Kitchen Garden Companion: Dig, Plant, Water, Grow ,Harvest, Chop, Cook.It is due for release in a couple of weeks.
The Penguin Books website says this:

Whether you have a large plot in a suburban backyard or a few pots on a balcony, you will find everything you need to get started in this inspiring and eminently useful garden-to-table guide.Check back for a review soon!!
Oh this sounds WONDERFUL!! I have never heard of the author but the topic sounds fantastic. I have a husband that loves to garden and we have a lovely vege patch but I am a awful cook- because it is not a passion of mine (I can cook ok) but I have always thought how useful it would be to have a list of ways/ recipes to use for all the wonderful things he has in the garden... perhaps I need THIS book!!! Thanks for the heads up!
