Library Journal
In what is called ``a gardening book for cooks and a cookbook for gardeners,'' Hirsch offers brief seed-starting instructions, cultural requirements, harvesting instructions, garden design plans, and culinary tips for a variety of vegetables and herbs. He also includes general gardening techniques, insect control, and recipes from the Moosewood kitchens. Of special interest are the culinary tips, especially for less-common vegetables and for herbs. This book has the visual attractiveness of the other Moosewood titles, with charming initials and line drawings on the text pages, decorative title pages for each section, and garden plans and drawings throughout. Not a necessary purchase, this may be desirable in libraries serving sizable vegetarian populations. (Index not seen.)-- Carol Cubberly, Univ. of Southern Mississippi, HattiesburgBook Details
