Grow Harvest Cook is the essential guide to planting, nurturing, harvesting and cooking the best seasonal produce available - the stuff from your own back garden. In the age of the farmers market and the farm produce delivery box, Grow Harvest Cook takes the reader one step further with 280 seasonal recipes to cook from the ground up. It is filled with practical gardening advice, tips and tricks for harvesting, storing and using your garden bounty.

Celebrating the pleasure of creating and eating from your own edible garden (whatever the size), it's both a guide to living well and the antidote to our fast food, high consumption supermarket culture. Watch your peas grow through winter and in spring, reap the rewards with a Warm Prawn, Pea and Avocado Salad. Plant your beetroot in Autumn and warm those winter nights with a Beetroot and Goats Cheese Tart and celebrate summer with berries, basil, stone fruits and many more mouth-watering ingredients and recipes.

Whatever the season, you'll be harvesting a bounty of goodness grown with your own two hands. This gorgeous 400-page book takes the reader through over 90 types of produce - organised alphabetically from almonds to zucchini - providing simple information about growing conditions and harvesting tips, then following with recipes and ideas for using up your produce, including preserving, drying and freezing. The authors of Grow Harvest Cook have reinvented the meaning of homemade and created a work that truly celebrates good food.

Grow Harvest Cook is an Australian publication. Measurements are in metric, imperial and metric cup & spoon.
