With more than two dozen cookbooks and hundreds of
television shows, lectures, and personal appearances devoted
to promoting healthful cooking, award-winning chef and
former "Galloping Gourmet" Graham Kerr literally starts from
the ground up in this engaging, inspiring, and highly
informative introduction to the joys of the kitchen
garden-and the pleasures of the table that start with
growing your own food. While Kerr taps into the current
trend of sustainability, eating locally and organically, and
eschewing fast food, he recognizes that today's home cooks
are savvier and more discerning than their predecessors in
the back-to-the-land movement. And in this day of rampant
obesity and related diseases, he understands how critical
taking these vital steps toward wellness can be. Growing at the Speed of Life takes you through the first
year in his kitchen garden, sharing the lessons learned and
the wisdom received from his circle of local knowledge
providers. From digging up his "south lawn" and putting
together a greenhouse to planting his first seeds and
harvesting and sharing his first crop with others in need,
Kerr provides a whirlwind tour through his gardening
adventures. Along the way, he profiles sixty common-and
not-so-common but readily available-garden vegetables,
fruits, and herbs with useful advice and recommendations for
care and feeding. Once the harvest is done, Kerr takes you into the kitchen,
offering guidance on the best cooking methods to create
appealing dishes in his inimitable and spirited style. He
includes more than one hundred recipes that are as simple
and elegant as they are healthful-and that will certainly
entice you to increase the amount of plant foods in your diet.
