Back to book review index page ..... Now you've grown it - cook it!
If you have an allotment and are looking for inspirational recipes or plain simple ideas of how to make the most of your lovely fresh produce, Kathryn Hawkins 'The Allotment Cookbook' will be just the book for you. Allotment gardening is a healthy activity to get the whole family involved and there is nothing like the freshness and flavours of home-grown produce, whether it’s apples picked straight from the tree or potatoes direct from the soil. Kathryn Hawkins is an experienced cookery writer and food stylist who has produced an all-in-one cookbook and produce directory which also combines top tips and advice as well as inspiring ideas and delicious recipes, making it perfect for anyone with an allotment or kitchen garden who may not always know what to do with all the produce. The book is divided into two sections - the first offers a comprehensive A-Z glossary of the most popular fruit and vegetables grown on an allotment with tips on storage, freezing, preserving and preparation techniques and original ideas of how to make the most of your valuable produce while in season without getting tired of it. The second section features 60 delicious recipes from Marinated Artichoke Hearts to Blueberry Pie and Lavender Cream. There are soups, starters, light meals and salads as well as accompaniments, main meals and deserts. There are also several good recipes for preserves – so something for everyone. 'The Allotment Cookbook' is published by New Holland rrp £12.99 or purchase online at Amazon for £6.49! (As going to print - 50% off rrp!)
