Joy of Gardening Cookbook - Easy Recipes for Fresh Garden Produce | Perfect for Home Chefs & Garden Lovers

Although I like reading and cooking from more gourmet-oriented cookbooks, in reality most of my meals are simple affairs, often based on home grown ingredients. For gardeners or CSA (community supported agriculture) subscribers, this practical book is a good resource when a crop is ready to get picked and you'd like some ideas. Most recipes can be made from items readily on hand, so I rarely have to go shopping--I just head straight from the garden to the kitchen and get cooking. There is basic information about how to cook each vegetable in case you have an idea of a dish you'd like to make (or create) and need to know how long to boil, bake, grill, etc. the vegetable. If you prefer actual recipes, the book has these too, and I've enjoyed many of them.
