Description
A unique cookbook, packed with recipes for seasonal vegetables as well as tips on how to grow them, using my fantastic and time-saving no dig methods.
It explains and develops the strong links you can achieve between garden and kitchen, which keep changing according to the season. The garden decides your menu!
The recipes are by Catherine Balaam, who cooks for day and weekend courses at my Homeacres no dig garden. Catherine has created and tested over 60 delicious plant-based recipes, inspired by those lunches which see the participants salivating, after an intense morning of learning in the garden. They are simple dishes bursting with flavour, from seasonal vegetables and herbs.
To complement them, I have written ‘Advice on growing your own’ sections throughout the book. I outline some key growing tips for many of the vegetables in the recipes.
I also include my own recipe for no-knead bread, another great timesaver.
We include ideas on how you can adapt recipes to your own harvests, using different vegetables which are similar to cook with.
Some of the recipes are how to ferment and store vegetables, so that you can use any gluts and enjoy them later.
Recipes in the cookbook are categorised as follows:
- Pestos, dips and sauces
- Ferments and vinegars
- Salads
- Cooked salads
- Roasties
- Stews and hot dishes
- Sweet treats
There are beautiful photos throughout, of the cooked dishes, a few including preparation, and also of my garden at Homeacres.

Delighted – it arrived yesterday! Love all the pictures and the layout. Linking recipes to harvests & growing tips is sooo useful. I am particularly interested in fermenting – cannot wait to get a glut of something….. Thank you x
