Product Description
Delia Smith has always been concerned with the quality and flavor of the ingredients she uses, and nothing comes fresher than fruit and vegetables straight from the garden. When the opportunity arose for her to work with garden expert Gay Search to create her own kitchen garden, she seized the chance. This guide, with gardening advice by Gay and recipes and advice on cooking the crops from Delia, is for any cook interested in good food, free from pesticides, who wants to try their hand at growing their own. It follows a year in the life of Delia's kitchen garden, with a chapter devoted to each month, and contains detailed advice on sowing and planting, fruit and vegetable varieties, and how to harvest. Lavishly designed with hundreds of color photographs, and with Delia's recipes that use the produce at its peak, this guide is suitable for first-time horticulturists and cooks of all levels.

Review
“ItÂ’s hard to beat this inspiring volume by the British duo of Search and Smith.” -- Publishers Weekly Review Annex
From the Publisher
For leading cookbook author Delia Smith, the key to producing delicious, healthy food is to use first–class ingredients. Where fruits and vegetables are concerned, the best way to do that is to grow your own. But when Delia decided to create a kitchen garden of her own, she couldn’t find a simple, straightforward guide. So, with the help of gardening expert Gay Search, Delia’s Kitchen Garden was born. In month–by–month chapters, this picture–filled companion follows a year in the kitchen garden, providing detailed information on sowing and planting, fruit and vegetable varieties, and care and harvesting. At the end of each chapter, Delia includes marvelous recipes for using your produce at its peak. For those who have space constraints, there are notes on creating a square–foot garden, a patio garden, and container gardens. An outstanding guide from two experts, richly illustrated with color photos of the gardens, the produce, and step–by–step techniques. Gay Search, presenter of the BBC’s flagship gardening program, “Gardeners’ World,” is the author of many books, including Gardening Without a Garden. Delia Smith is the most popular cook in the United Kingdom, and her BBC cooking programs have endeared her to viewers for nearly 30 years. With more than 16 million copies of her books in print, she is Britain’s all–time best–selling cookbook author. Among her phenomenally successful books is How to Cook.
