I'm an avid home gardener, but far from an expert, so I'm always on the hunt for inspiration to make my plant adventures better. Becky Dickinson's Gardening to Eat is a lovely "farm to table" guide that gives not only helpful tips for growing a variety of fruits and vegetables, but also includes recipes for each as well. And that cover--well, it's just delicious.

I really liked the organic nature of this book as well; I garden without the use of any chemicals, so it's nice to know that I'm on the right track with what I'm doing there.

This is a great book for any amateur gardener and I'd highly recommend it for your shelves. Not only will it will make a nice compact little cookbook (it's a British publication, so I'll have to do some measurement alterations), but also a handy guide for when I need a gentle reminder when and how to plant certain crops.

Many thanks to NetGalley and publisher Pen & Sword for "granting my wish" for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Gardening to Eat by Becky Dickinson is such a helpful book for home gardeners who want to eat healthy. Part One talks about the basics of organic gardening. Part Two, Grow and Eat, is broken down by type of vegetable or fruit, and tells you how to plant it, grow it organically, and keep pests away, and then follows it up with recipes. For example, after walking the reader through the process of growing green beans, a recipe is immediately provided for Thai green bean curry. After the process of planting, growing, and protecting blueberries, recipes for Yogurt and Blueberry pancakes and blueberry cheesecake are provided. Seed to plate instructions for tomatoes, garlic, kale, leeks, onions, carrots, and a lot more are provided in this book.

I love the way this book is organized and is geared towards healthy growing and eating. From seed to plate, everything you need for healthy family gardening and eating is right here.

I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley. However, as a home gardener who tries to eat healthy, I will be buying this book in hardcopy. My review is voluntary.
