Home Gardener's Month-by-Month Cookbook

Description: "If you've always thought of gardening as a chore and of vegetables as something to be plucked from your grocer's freezer, the Home Gardener's Month-By-Month Cookbook will change your mind forever. And if you're already convinced of the superiority of seasonal produce, Mrs. Blanchard's unique collection of classic and innovative recipes will inspire you.

"Beginning with January's seed catalogs, the Home Gardener's Month-By-Month Cookbook moves through the gardening seasons with appropriate recipes for each month and timely advice for keeping the garden thriving. From a tasty dandelion salad in April to May's strawberry-rhubarb pie; from rissoto with fresh June peas to a chilled zucchini soup in July and fresh corn fritters in August; from wine-baked peaches in September to pumpkin bread in October, Mrs. Blanchard has the reader looking forward to the special treats in store each month as their ingredients come into season. Along the way she shares hundreds of gardening and cooking tips in a warm good-humored style that generates both enthusiasm for her ideas and the confidence to try them."
