In this follow up to the best selling Taste Pure & Simple, chef Michel Nischen shows how to take his philosophy of heart healthy cooking into the garden. As Michel watched his children growing up, he yearned to share with them his mother's heirloom recipes - dishes that prominently featured the fresh fruits and vegetables she grew in the backyard garden of his childhood. This led him to plant a garden in his own backyard, with 2 serious goals in mind: He wanted it to be as organic as possible and he wanted to use all the vegetables they grew to feed his family. Lettuce, radishes, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, bok choy, eggplant - these are just a few of the early season vegetables that started finding their way onto the dinner lable. Using these farm-fresh vegetables, plus vibrant herbs, healthful oils and spices, Michel has created recipes that are good for the body and yet packed with abundant flavor. Discover a bounty of flavorful meals that comes from using homegrown produce and fresh ingredients in Homegrown: Pure and Simple - undoniable proof that a healthful diet can be both rewarding and delicious.
