The Complete Kitchen Garden is an inspiring collection of garden designs and recipes for the home gardener and cook. The taste, safety, and savings to be found through home gardening are responsible for a huge number of converts to the kitchen garden and Ogden's approach will be welcomed by experienced and novice gardeners alike. Based on the seasonal cycles of the garden, each chapter provides a new way to look at the garden with themes such as "the salad lover's garden," "the food artists garden", "the self-preservation garden", and "the schoolyard garden". Recipes play an integral role, and encompass a full range of soups, salads, main course savory dishes and desserts, as well as condiments and garnish to dress up the plate. For example: in the Herbs and Aromatics garden, the plants include: Rosemary, Thyme, flat leaf and curly Parsley, Chives, sweet Basil, Lovage, Tarragon, Sorrel and Marjoram.And the recipes from those plants include: herbed sweet cream cheese and butters, summer garden herb and cheese bread, herb roasted fish in parchment paper, mango shrimp summer rolls, roasted garlic, dill and ginger dressing, gratin of chicory of herbs, roasted tomato and lovage soup and braised salmon smothered in sorrel.
