Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am lucky enough to know Ellen Ecker Ogden and remember when this book was but a seed itself. It has turned out even better than I anticipated - as down-to-earth, friendly, warm and lovely as the author herself. As someone who loves to cook but struggles to find time/energy to do more than plant a few tomatoes and herbs and keep them alive every summer, I am inspired and reassured by the clear, straightforward gardening advice and the mouthwatering but uncomplicated recipes. The watercolor schematics are charming and the photographs beautiful, while also being informative. I'm mulling over my options (perhaps a hybrid of the cook's garden and family garden) and making Ellen's warm winter salad with roasted garlic dressing in the meantime.
