Review: I've wanted this book for ages since an article in a week-end newspaper, my son bought it for Christmas for me and I was amazed at how much information it has as well as all the recipes. Wonderful book.

Review: I love vegetables and thought this cook book might give me some 'new' recipes. I was disappointed in the content and am returning the book. IMO, one still can't beat Vegetarian Cooking by Deborah Madison of Vegetarian Times magazine for excellent recipes for all types of vegetables and vege/pasta/rice/bean combinations. Don't let the 'vegetarian' label put you off, I'm not vegetarian and have discovered some wonderful recipes for side dishes. The book itself is well organized into seasons. It's schtick is having the introduction section for each season undercut by 1/4" on the right side so you can easily go directly to the season you are looking for. Each season also has it's own colored ribbon to act as a bookmark. The photos are beautiful and have a matte finish - not high gloss. The book includes basic gardening information. There is a chart at the beginning of the book which gives the average growing season for numerous vegetables. The beginning of each seasonal chapter includes more information about the growing, harvesting of those seasonal vegetables. This is followed by the recipes. I found the recipes to be very redundant and too simple. Most recipes were for the individual vegetable, which may seem logical to you, but then would you really need a $30 cookbook to tell you to lightly saute a vege and serve? or add to pasta? There are a few suggestions for soups, dressings. All that aside, this could be a wonderful book for someone just beginning to garden and cook - which is why I gave it 3 stars. For those with a little experience, I don't feel this cookbook has much to offer.
