Recipes are easily adapted depending on how much you harvest and range from dishes to tuck into right away, such as a root vegetable tartiflette, to preserves to enjoy later, like a tomato sauce to add to pastas and stews.
So if you're motivated by food and flavor, How to Grow Food has everything you need to grow, harvest, store, cook, and preserve the tastiest fresh produce.
