Kitchen Garden

I first found this excellent resource at our local library, and it was far and away my favorite basic resource for starting our greenhouse and kitchen garden items. The title is spot on, and if you love cooking, this is the book you need to begin using fresh herbs and making the process easy and fun. The writers are matter-of-fact, enjoyable to read, and they take pains to explain very basic things without making the reader feel foolish. They also go to great lengths to recommend a variety of more advanced strategies and suggest other resources, too. Intelligent, aimed at a natural approach without fanaticism or extreme measures, it is a great family favorite now. I bought two as gifts, for my daughter and for a friend! I may need to buy others for my friends who aspire toward gourmet quality cooking!
