Growing your own food is exciting, but when it comes to knowing how to make the most of your produce, it can be daunting. In "Grow, Cook, Nourish," bestselling author Darina Allen draws on more than 30 years of experience gardening at Ballymaloe to take you through an extensive list of vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Each entry includes explanations of different varieties, practical information on cultivation, growing, and maintenance, plus instructions for the best ways to cook produce as well as preserve and utilize a glut.

With more than 500 recipes, including dishes for every ingredient, Darina shows how to use your harvest to its full potential. Vegetables range from annual crops such as chicory, radishes, and kohlrabi to perennials like asparagus and spinach. Fruits cover apples, currants, and peaches as well as the more unusual and interesting myrtle berries, loquats, and medlars. Plus a comprehensive list of herbs, edible flowers, and foraged foods such as samphire, wild garlic, and blackberries.

There's not much this gourmet grande dame doesn't know.

No matter how many new or recherché ingredients Allen uses, her recipes are grounded and she writes with good sense.
