"One of my favorite recipe books...and I have a lot of them. I've used this book for years, it's the most used book in my library and I've given it as a gift to friends as well. The recipes are all from the authors gardens, and when I had a garden this was a treasure. Favorite recipes: Milanese Style Chard, Green Beans with Pecans, Garlicky Snowpeas, Zucchini and Basil Pasta salad, Calendula Lemon Pudding cake....I could go on, if you can get your hands on a copy of this book you won't regret it." - Parisanne20
"I especially enjoyed the format; a different "chapter" for each type of vegetable. For someone with a garden, it makes it very easy to find recipes for what's ready to eat. I've made several of the recipes and would say my family has enjoyed the majority of them. Worth buying." - DNP
"Fresh vegetables have their very own special allure, and these recipes are first and foremost a celebration of garden fresh ingredients," say the authors. And nothing could be more true of this book. From Beans to Chard to Eggplant to Tomatillos, and everything in between, the recipes are fresh and interesting and, for the most, very simple. Just listen to these delicious-sounding names: Lemon Thyme Bread. Indonesian Zucchini Salad. Vermouth Braised Fennel. Over 145 pages are packed with tested recipes, all beautifully illustrated with line drawings, and packaged in a manageable sized 6x9 book. For the home gardener or the avid cook, this book is a keeper!" - Toni L.
"I happened upon this little book when it first came out, and have consistently been delighted by the recipes inside. As a homesteader with a very large (and ever-growing) vegetable garden, I'm always looking for more ideas for specific veggies. The fact that this cookbook is arranged by vegetable or fruit (what a concept!) makes it easy to use and easy to find just the recipe you need. Each food has several different types of recipes associated with it, including cold or hot, raw or cooked, and incorporates interesting herbs and other seasonal foods as well. In fact, there's an entire section just devoted to herbs and edible flowers. What's especially nice is that it's not just tomatoes and zucchini -- other home-grown produce covered include melons, chard, fennel, leeks, and a cornucopia of different salad ideas. You'll be delighted by this book, especially if you're an avid gardener." - Willow P.Regular price $14.95Sale price $14.95Unit price per -

"Garden to table took on new meaning when Renee Shepherd and Fran Raboff put their talents together to create this cookbook. Growing vegetables from seed tested in Shepherd’s trial gardens yield a variety of prospects each season in flavor, colors and textures. Every vegetable highlighted includes description, growing tips, uses and storage. Several recipes are offered for each vegetable in both vegetarian dishes and meat dishes. Each entry also includes growing fax and pointers. Herbs are also covered in this cookbook as well as edible flowers. All recipes are beautifully illustrated by Mimi Osborne, the same artist that provides the gorgeous watercolor depictions of each new variety for Renee’s Garden website. THE RENEE’S GARDEN COOKBOOK is a book you will refer to time and time again for delicious meal ideas as well as expert gardening advice." - Cindy K.
"As you harvest late summer veggies from the garden, you may be running low on ideas for using yet another squash, pepper or tomato. Take a look at The Renee’s Garden Cookbook and you’re likely to find yourself wishing for even more produce. Authored by longtime garden seed entrepreneur and garden guru Renee Shepherd with cooking instructor and author Fran Raboff, the 156-page cookbook is chock full of recipes designed to make the most of homegrown veggies." - Parade magazine
"As gardeners, we are all blessed with an abundance of fresh, delicious produce that is a joy to prepare and savor. But if you're like me, I sometimes get into a rut with the way I prepare certain vegetables. This cookbook gives me the opportunity to expand my repertoire in a delicious way. The cookbook is organized in two ways, making it easy to come up with recipes for seasonal veggies and herbs. First, the main section is divided into all of the types of vegetables you can think of: artichokes, beans, beets, and broccoli, for example. There is also an herb section that includes recipes using savory or sweet herbs. Second, the extensive index not only covers all of the vegetables or herbs in the book but it also includes other ingredients found within the recipes. That makes it easy to either select a recipe based on the products you have available or on what you have in your refrigerator or pantry, such as chicken or pasta. Won't that make meal-planning a breeze!" - Susan M.Regular price $17.95Sale price $17.95Unit price per
