 Delia's
Kitchen Garden: A Beginners'... Guide to Growing and Cooking
Fruit and Vegetables. Delia Smith has always been most concerned
with the quality and flavour of the ingredients she uses, and
nothing comes fresher than fruit and vegetables from your own
garden. Last year, the opportunity came for her to work with
her longstanding friend, garden expert Gay Search, to create
her own kitchen garden for the first time. This guide, written
by Gay with 56 recipes from Delia, is for Delia and others like
her who are interested in good food and want to try their hand
at growing their own. It follows a year in the life of her kitchen
garden, with a chapter devoted to each month, containing detailed
advice on sowing and planting, fruit and vegetable varieties
and how to harvest. With failsafe recipes by Delia that use
the produce at its peak, this book is expected to do for kitchen
gardening what How to Cook did for culinary teaching. Suitable
for first-time horticulturists and cooks of all levels, the
book is lavishly designed and has over 300 colour photographs.

Smith's Summer Collection: 140... Recipes for Summer. From
early May to September a dazzling progression of summer produce
brings with it a freshness, a sense of excitement and anticipation
of what is new. "Summer Collection" takes that as
its inspiration and introduces us to the more unusual ingredients
that are growing in popularity; rocket and lemon grass, and
herbs such as fresh coriander and sorrel. More familiar ingredients
are transformed by the subtle influence of Californian, Italian,
Greek and Oriental flavours and ideas. Here new techniques for
grilling and roasting vegetables are explained, here are stunning
home-made ice creams, barbecues for meat-eaters and vegetarians
alike, a feast of fresh fruits, as well as a section on preserves
to recapture some of the flavours of summer in the dark days
of winter. All Delia's recipes are tested again and again to
make them totally accessible to everyone who enjoys cooking
and eating. "The Summer Collection" also includes
information on new equipment, ingredients and menus for entertaining.
