Take eating local to a whole new level. Darina Allen shows you how to grow the food you cook and cook the food you grow in this cookbook. Recipes accompany each ingredient and help you use produce to its full potential. In addition to fruits and vegetables, there is also a section focusing on herbs, edible flowers, berries and more. One of Darina’s earlier recipes takes the humble parsnip and turns it into a unique dessert, Maple Parsnip Cake. If that isn’t using a vegetable to its fullest potential, we don’t know what is.
