HomeblogWin a copy of ‘Kitchen Garden Experts’ One F&F reader can win a copy of this lovely book profiling kitchen gardens and the chefs who use them. This is one of my favourite books that I’ve been sent to review for a long time. It is possibly the perfect F&F book. Kitchen Garden Experts, published by Frances Lincoln, sneaks around beautiful, productive, clever kitchen gardens. It interviews the head gardeners, and it interviews the chefs who use the produce. It is beautifully photographed. It is full of clever tips and tricks. It is also a recipe book. Some books that I get sent are useful and give me a few tips here and there. This is a book that I keep coming back to and that I have read my whole way through. It is marvellous, and I would recommend it to any F&F reader, because let’s face it, if you’re on F&F, you’ll be as in love with this kind of thing as I am. So I’m very pleased that one lucky F&F reader can win a copy of this book. All you need to do is post a comment below with the tastiest fruit or vegetable you’ve ever grown yourself. The closing date is 29 July. Go! Share this:Share 30 Responses cynthia June 30, 2014 Red and yellow peppers! Reply Lita Sollisch June 30, 2014 I’m always up and ready for something new to grow. The info on the label says to start indoors. Never got around to following the directions on the packet of seeds So, early in the planting season I started the seeds of BEET BERRY (chenopodium folosium) in a planting bag. Description - Mulberry-like bright red fruit with a sweet mild flavor on branching 12″ plants. Unusual and fun to grow. So far so good. No fruit in sight. Hopeful! Reply Eva van Abeelen July 1, 2014 Sounds like a really nice book. The tastiest i’ve grown has to be raspberries. From the store they can be bland, but right out of the garden (well, balcony in my case), they are so good!
