The Sunset Edible Garden Cookbook: Fresh, Healthy Cooking from the Garden

We've enjoyed this book a lot this spring and summer.The fun starts when planting, as they describe their favorite varieties (and why). Ever seen a picture of a trombetta squash, 30-inch vegetables hanging from an 8-foot trellis that the plant has taken over? Go find one, then plant some seeds. Easy to grow, beautiful, delicious. And I'd never heard of them before. There are some other fun suggestions in here, but I'll leave those to you to find.As your garden starts to mature, you'll appreciate the tips on when to harvest and how to store. And, more importantly, that the recipes are organized by ingredient, so you can easily pick what to cook based on what's ripe. There are a number of recipes for each ingredient, so you won't get bored of eating the same thing over and over again, even if you end up planting way too much like we did.The pictures are impressive too - this is a cookbook you can leave on your counter, not one you have to hide.Overall, very happy with this purchase.Note: At least some of this material is available on Sunset's web site. But the organization of their web site is horrible. Much better to have this in the kitchen.

The best recipe/gardening books I've ever read. Takes you from garden planning to harvest then to table receipes with great pictures. One of the most unusual books I've ever read. And most pleasureable for garden to table information. Extremely pleased with the information and the different way it's presented.

My son and his family are into plants to eat. So I gave them this book I originally bought for myself. So far I have not dug the dirt up for planting. but when I do I am ordering another book for me.

lots of easy, uncomplicated and wonderful receipes

Love the recipes. So many fresh ideas. Have put paper clips on many pages to return to easily
