Gardener Cook Paperback – March 2, 2001

Christopher Lloyd (Author), Howard Sooley (Photographer)

This text brings together the two passions of the author: cookery and gardening. Christopher Lloyd describes how he grows and cooks fruit, vegetables, salad plants and herbs and asserts that if one grows food for flavour, it ought then to be cooked to bring out the best flavour.

Mr. Lloyd is a well-known gardening authority in Britain. He has learned to cook what he grows. He shares his expertise in both areas. The horticultural advice may not always apply on this side of the Atlantic, but it is clear, simple, often quietly humorous, and no more likely to lead a hopeful amateur to disappointment than the dreams aroused by seed catalogues. Mr. Sooley, an accomplished fashion photographer, presents peaches and parsnips in the highest style. The collaboration pleases the eye and tempts the tongue. – The Atlantic Monthly, Phoebe-Lou Adams -This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
