Description:

Not every carrot is the same. All beans aren't created equal. Take the Petaluma Gold Rush bean, a rugged legume, grown for over 150 years and brought to California by an American whaler from Peru. Or the violet carrot, which the Greeks brought back from India following the conquests of Alexander the Great.

Mixing history, culinary suggestions, practical information and personal anecdotes, Weaver introduces us to unusual heirloom vegetables as well as to common favorites. He provides answers to general questions, such as the difference between a yam and a sweet potato and presents lively portraits of one hundred vegetable varieties which he's grown and harvested in his own kitchen garden.

Organized alphabetically by common name, this book includes beautifully detailed drawings throughout and a helpful appendix of seed resources.
