About this book
Synopsis
In A Taste of the Unexpected, River Cottage head gardener Mark Diacono reveals that it is no harder to grow the unusual and utterly delicious than it is the entirely ordinary. Instead of potatoes and carrots you'll find gourmet delights such as kai lan, Chilean guava and Szechuan pepper, along with practical growing advice and mouthwatering recipes
Trade review
Why bother spending time, money and effort growing produce that you can buy locally, cheaply and which tastes much the same whether it's home grown or shop-bought? Diacono, head gardener for the River Cottage, reveals how to grow unusual and delicious fruit, vegetables, nuts, herbs, spices and flowers. Full of practical growing advice and mouthwatering recipes, this introduces readers to forgotten flavours, lesser-known harvests and exotic foreign fruit. Illustrated in colour.
