If you never knew what a potager was before, now's the time to find out. 'In the French Kitchen Garden' by Georgeanne Brennan, explains how the French potager, or kitchen garden, differs from the American variety, in that it supplies
fresh herbs and veggies year round. Brennan, who learned her stuff from gardeners in Provence, explains how to set up and maintain your green space, and offers recipes for putting your produce to good use. With lovely illustrations and an emphasis on the
seasons, cultivating food, and the good life, c'est magnifique!--This text refers to the
Paperback edition.
Product Description:
With 80,000 of the original sold, Chronicle Books now reissues this cookbook classic with a new cover to
introduce it to a new generation of readers. The French country tradition of cooking from a potager, or kitchen garden, has for centuries produced meals that are seasonally fresh, simple, and sparkling with the essential flavors of their carefully grown
and prepared ingredients. Here James Beard Award-winning author Georgeanne Brennan captures the full vitality of this age-old cuisine. Arranged by season, Potager features a collection of sixty imaginative recipes made from the very freshest fruits,
vegetables, and herbs of nature's bounty. Illustrated with over 100 vivid color photographs of the gardens, the ingredients, and the finished dishes, Potager presents the simplicity and balance of French cuisine at its finest.
