Great information. Beautiful pictures. Some recipes are a bit too "fancy" for my high school readers, but a more "foodie" crowd will certainly appreciate the bulk of the information.

Joshua, a farmer and a chef, takes vegetables to a whole new level. The book is divided into the six seasonal times of the year when produce are ready to harvest, and shares many tips and recipes for preparing them with ingredients everyone would have on hand and in an easy way. I really love the recipes in this book. Especially the compound butter recipes with ideas on what pairs well with them and the whole section on pickled food, complete with excellent pictures, recipes and tips. I made the pistachio butter and it was a hit. And, I will be using his cornstarch and flour batter recipe for the vegetables, the pictures look like they are delicious.

Not a book I would be able to cook with. Ingredients were not as typical as I hoped and flavor combinations didn't look good.

Great gardening cookbook with beautiful photography and unique, appealing recipes. Really liked the way the photography inspires both the gardener and the chef in me! Wonderful book.

This is a beautiful offering of love and respect for cooking vegetables at their peak of freshness to bring out the best of each offering. The author has an obvious passion for presenting food at its finest. The book goes into great detail as to which method with which ingredients will showcase the vegetable to its finest. The author has paid his dues working in fine dining establishments both here and abroad and also working on the farm growing perfect vegetables. The 225 recipes take vegetables in their peak season from raw dishes, to grilled, to baked , and everything in between. Most of all the book imparts a wealth of knowledge with step by step instructions to give the reader a platform for creativity. This is a wonderful book and I look forward to learning from it.

A lovely book filled with photographs of both fresh ingredients and the resulting recipes made from them. Seems very well written and carefully researched. Unfortunately I couldn't find any recipes that really appealed to me.

A very ambitious book that delivers. The pictures and material arrangement is well thought out and the recipes look delicious.

Sorry, I can't download this file. I thought I'd be able to get it on my kindle but it is download only and my computer doesn't have the necessary software.
