The Vegetable Garden Cookbook: 60 Recipes to Enjoy Your Homegrown Produce
by Tobias Rauschenberger (Author), Oliver Brachat (Photographer)
In this vivid, beautifully-styled cookbook you will find garden-fresh recipes centered on 23 all-star vegetables you can grow in your own home garden. The vegetables featured are: eggplant, cauliflower, beans, broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, peas, fennel, cucumbers, potatoes, corn, squash, chard, carrots, peppers, parsnips, radishes, beets, spinach, tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini, and onions.
Imagine sun-ripened tomatoes, crisp carrots, and aromatic fennel taking center stage in your next meal. This book is brimming with an array of colorful recipes, from healthy soups and salads, to appetizers, quiches, snacks, and entrees. And although the focus is on the fresh vegetables, there’s a little something for everyone; some recipes are vegan, some are vegetarian, and some include meat. Some favorites include: creamy pea soup with bacon foam, stuffed zucchini rolls, Hungarian goulash, beet pizza, and an Asian chard and honey duck sandwich.
Not only does The Vegetable Garden Cookbook include 60 savory and creative recipes, but it also offer tips for cultivating, harvesting and preparing home-grown vegetables. This gorgeous book is a must-have for every veggie lover and its rich and vibrant recipes are sure to inspire even the most stubborn carnivores to incorporate more vegetables into their diets.

Wind and Freezing Rain here in New England. Yuck.
Dire and unhappy report. The garden room where some standard veggies were being attempted under artificial light has been negatively affected by the current cold snap.
We are at -37* outdoors, and the contents of the two closets appear to have been hit by serious frost. The watering can that sits in the room itself just outside the closets is frozen. Solid. The aerated fertilizer water is frozen. Solid.
My car wouldn’t start this morning because it was (you guessed it) frozen. Barely got the SUV started, going to plug in the block heater in a bit.
It’s bloody COLD!
Messing up the Bills game in Buffalo...
Thanks, Pete!
LOL! I’m down to the last four that a neighbor gave me - and they look just like that! :)
We’re right behind you! Temps will be dropping at an alarming rate between now and Wednesday. -4 predicted for tonight to kick things off. (SW corner of Wisconsin)
“EXTENDED FORECAST: Bitterly cold weather will follow in the wake of the snow, arriving by early Sunday morning. Low temperatures will be from zero to 15 below zero, with early morning wind chills from 20 to 35 below zero from Sunday morning through Wednesday morning, and high temperatures will only be near or just above zero with daytime wind chills as cold as 15 degrees below zero.
It will remain very cold from next Wednesday through next weekend, with morning wind chills as cold as 20 below zero. A few flurries are possible on Wednesday and Thursday, but we will be mostly dry for much of next week. Temperatures will rebound back to near normal on Monday of the following week.”
Carol Deppe’s books “Breed Your Own Vegetable varieties” and “the Resilient Gardener” are both awesome books that changed the way I garden forever!
The snow always seems worse in Buffalo than anywhere else, except maybe Antarctica or Siberia.
Most of the Rodale stuff is good.
Good Bug, Bad Bug is one I’d like to get.

Weather talking heads predicting “OMG THE COLDEST WEATHER OKLAHOMA HAS SEEN IN THREE YEARS !!!!!!!” Gee, do those people know it’s . . . January? Ya know, WINTER? Heh.
As for reading, I plan to sit by the wood-burning stove (with the parrot) and re-read one of my favorite Tom Clancy books.
OK. You can do that. But alternate Tom Clancy with Seed Catalogs, LOL!
Snowstorm appears to be over; we have some blowing and drifting now - but not nearly as bad as had been predicted. Our driveway and turn-around is clear in case we need to get out.
However, starting vehicles in -14 is a no-go, LOL!
SO GLAD that I have a stocked pantry and freezer and that I won’t NEED to shop until this ridiculous ‘Polar Vortex’ passes!

G-r-e-a-t job........we much appreciate your considerable efforts.......utter perfection.
My Mother used to order a lot from the Spring Hill catalog. Lots of stuff in there that wasn’t sold in local OKC nurseries, but that were suited just fine for our Zone 7. Those catalogs would make a nice contrast to Clancy. Heh. :-)
I hear ya. My little garden room is blanketed off right now to help keep the rest of the place warm. Nothing to start this month but in Feb I will want to start a few kinds of seeds.
Un-insulated floor with a crawl space that’s not fully closed in. My son and I have our feet up on the other two dining chairs because it’s warmer than the floor. Torso height is 66 degrees, 43 at floor and 77 at ceiling. Think we need a ceiling fan. Got the wood stove going and a space heater aimed under the dining table for our feet.
It’s still -3 outside which is about what it will be tomorrow morning when I need to head out for work so I guess I’ll go out shortly and see if the truck will start so I’ll know if it will tomorrow and/or see if I need to put a charger on it when I get up.
Gonna warm up in the middle of the week and then drop back down to Low 2 and high 20 for next weekend.
Hope it gets back to the normal Low 20, high 40 soon. We’re going through firewood fast right now.
Gonna be a busy year working on long overdue improvements to this shack.

Got to the new house Thursday night. Left an hour later than I wanted so it got dark. Unfortunately, about 20-30 minutes away, there was a 3-car bad smash-up that had the main road totally closed. As we were waved off to the right by the sheriff’s dept., I had no idea where to go & no place to pull over & get GPS going. I took a gamble the car in front was a local & followed. We were on some tiny lanes, up/down & around curves & finally got back to a place I recognized. Mom & I drank an entire bottle of Peach Bellini when we got to the house!
My project today has been to get motion detectors on the back door & driveway - tired of people (even if we know them) sneaking up on us. The back door one is working, but we had a snow squall the last hour that kept me inside. It just quit so I can go out & get #2 in place.
The mountains are SO beautiful- the cloud shadows, ever-changing angles of light as the sun rises & sets, the ‘light’ in general, keeps the views interesting.
