The book with everything you need to know to enjoy your home-grown produce – April
With the interest in people looking to acquire any potential allotment space or whether it’s a desire to know exactly where the food we eat comes from or a productive way to cut down on household expenditure, more and more people are being inspired to grow their own fruit and vegetables on allotments, in their back gardens and in kitchen windowboxes.
Public interest is on the huge increase and with celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall heavily endorsing the “grow your own” mantra, sustainable living has never been so topical.
The Allotment Cookbook Through the Year is the essential recipe bible for anyone who would like to learn how to cook delicious, seasonal dishes to help make the most out of home-grown produce.
The book features over 200 recipes, from soups and salads to puddings and preserves, using popular crops such as apples, berries, squashes and herbs, and is packed with inspiring ideas to turn your produce into healthy, fresh meals. Over 20 essential techniques for preserving and storing your harvest are explained with clear step-by-step photography, with accompanying expert advice on methods such as how to make jams, pickles and chutneys, dry fruits and herbs and store root vegetables long-term.
Whether you are an expert at growing your own fruit and vegetables, or a cook simply looking for ideas to make the most out of fresh produce, The Allotment Cookbook Through the Year is the perfect kitchen companion to enjoy imaginative and delicious dishes all year round.
The book is available at good bookstores from April next.
