It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly...my vegetable patch! I came to realise last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside, you'll find over 100 new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well!

I love gardening and cooking, so this book is a very welcome addition to my book shelves. Beautifully presented, with amazing recipes and gorgeous pics...this one will make you want to get your hands dirty :)

This is an awesome book, I have made a few of the recipes already but the best part is the gradening tips, you do need to adapt it to NZ dates but everything is set in the sections summer, spring, autumn and winter so that is very easily done.

I was given this book and I have to say that I am glad, because it really isn't one that I would have bought myself. To be honest, it is all a bit simple really and too similar to every other Jamie Oliver book on the shelves... just in different packaging. Novel idea to make it seem more "homely" by giving it a 70s inspired jacket design, but just a wee bit boring for my liking. However, having said that, if you are a Jaime Oliver fan or just someone who likes a pretty funky looking tome on your shelf, then this could be quite good. I wasn't particularly inspired, but it appears that this Bestseller certainly has commercial appeal.

I love this book, practical and yet still many new and refreshing ideas. Sensible approach and very good for NZ growing conditions and produce. Very relevant, great layout and photos. A book to keep and enjoy for years.
