Homegrown: Illustrated Bites from Your Garden to Your Table

The creator of the Illustrated Bites blog whips up “a gorgeous delight of a book. Equal parts gardening tips, tasty recipes, and knock-out illustrations” (Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City). Homegrown is the ultimate guide to growing your own food and eating it, too! With clear and uncomplicated illustrations, author Heather Hardison guides readers through the process of planting, growing, harvesting, and preparing more than 25 of the tastiest, easy-to-grow vegetables and small fruits—such as spinach, kale, artichokes, and pears—and cooking them into seasonal, clean, and delicious offerings—including Fava Bean Crostini, Tomato and Watermelon Gazpacho, and Parsnip Hummus. Using Homegrown's tips for stocking your own unprocessed pantry, growing your own herbs, and pickling and canning the last of your bounty, anyone can learn to eat from the ground up.
