About the Author
Keda Black is a French home cook and food writer. She was born in Zambia and is of a thoroughly mixed Scottish, Bourguignon, Spanish and Italian descent.

Having become a trained chief librarian, she strangely found herself more eager to go out looking for new taste sensations or sweat in front of a hot stove, rather than to sit at a computer scanning databases. So she now divides most of her time between kids and kitchen. Unsurprisingly, her cooking tends to go beyond the boundaries of traditional French cuisine but is never complicated or labored. She has already written about cheesecakes, pot-au-feu, vegetables, charlottes. Her latest books include a step by step basics cookery course as well as a mega Cake Box full of sweet delights.

After having been a long time a food journalist (for Savours, Woman magazine), Catherine Qu'vremont devotes herself entirely to her passions: cooking and writing. She is currently works on her next work: a fruit box to appear in July 2008.

Customer Reviews

Dissatisfied
I am very unhappy with this product. The tabs that identify the vegetable categories are hard to recognize, and they don't stay in place. The recipe sections are hard to get in and out of the box. Almost all of the recipes call for at least one or more hard-to-find or expensive ingredients. I have made 5 of the recipes, and I would rate them as only fair, not particularly tasty. Overall, it's an expensive product, and the recipes call for many unusual ingredients. I wish I had not bought it.

Christmas Gift of Vegetable Box
I was disappointed in the quality of the packaging of this product. In looking at the product online and description provided, I thought it to be a small, light wooden box. Instead, it was cardboard which took away from the quaint "vegetable box" look and feel of the product. It also had two permanent prices printed on the cardboard - which could not be removed. Since it was a Christmas gift having the prices on it was "tacky" and again detracted from the quality of the product.

Neat Idea
Gave the veggie box as a gift and the receiver loved it as much as I did.
Great for a person who loves to cook and has there own garden
