What a great book this is - full of lovely looking and easy to follow recipes. Each recipe is followed though from the container pot it grew in to the recipe itself. Step-by-step growing instructions on how to grow fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs. And before you think (like me) you don't have a garden big enough, this book shows you how to grow produce in container pots.
Even if you grow just one herb in a simple flower pot it's a start. Take the herb basil for example; how much nicer it would be to add your own home grown herb to a pasta dish? I'm feeling inspired by this book so as soon as it stops raining I'm going to give this a go!
Due to be released early April which I say is perfect timing now that it's spring and the weather should start to get warmer. Yep it's time to get planting!
One-Pot Gourmet Gardener is written by Cinead McTernan with excellent photography throughout by Jason Ingram.
GROW ME - COOK ME - EAT ME:
You can grow all the ingredients you need for a single dish in a single pot. In all there are 25 carefully devised container recipes grouped into Soups and Salads, Main Courses, Picnic food, Quick Suppers and Drinks and Puddings., Smoothies, Sauces and Tarts.
Each one-pot recipe provides every step from sowing to serving. There's an introductory masterclass on how to grow crops in pots, giving you the confidence and skills to devise your own one-pot recipes.
Ideal for people with small gardens and balconies.
