What is a gardening book without recipes for how to make the most of your harvests? For us, these are two sides of the same coin, and the only way to enjoy real food. How to grow and cook with the very best food money can’t buy— this is your homegrower’s companion, taking you crop by crop through about 70 vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. We wanted to create a handy resource packed with growing and cooking information.

Each crop guide tells you how many plants you can grow in a square yard and the estimated harvests, so it is flexible to suit your space, no matter how small or big. Each crop guide also includes recommended varieties for best growing (they’re reliable and easy to source) and for best flavor. Storing and preserving techniques mean you can enjoy your harvests through the year and in ways you’ve likely never heard of before.

Throughout this book, there are three defining principles that have led each and every decision we’ve made. 1. Nourishment Provide the most nutritious food and best quality of life for us and our environment. 2. Refinement Focus on what works and the practical skills that support it, cutting out the fuss. 3. Presence Promote awareness and fulfillment that leads to a peaceful and joyous life. With half the book dedicated to the garden and half dedicated to the kitchen, there is little more motivation we can offer than the promise of great food, the joy of growing, cooking, and eating it, and the quality of life that comes with it.
