There's more to backyard fruit and vegetables than just growing them. Understanding how to harvest, store, preserve and cook your produce is crucial if you're going to get the most out of your vegie patch and orchard.
In Garden to Table, some of Australia's best gardening writers, including Peter Cundall, Penny Woodward and Phil Dudman, tell how to get your backyard fruit and vegetables from seed to plate, with topics including:
- How to ensure your home-grown food is packed with nutrients
- How to plan your garden so you can harvest all year round
- How to harvest, store, preserve and cook your backyard bounty
- A season-by-season action diary to stay on top of garden tasks, no matter what your climate zone
Plus interviews and recipes from four of Australia's best-known chefs - Stephanie Alexander, Matt Moran, Annabel Langbein and Serge Dansereau - all of whom are committed to using sustainably grown, seasonal produce.
Featuring in-depth information, inspiring photography and stunning design that are the hallmarks of the Essential Guide series, this 124-page, book-quality magazine will serve as a reference for years to come.
