Taste buds

An innovative Southern gardening & cooking manual, arranged in a monthly format with appropriate information on yard & garden maintenance. There are accompanying recipes utilizing fruits & vegetables grown in home gardens. Entertaining anecdotes, both wistful & happy, introduce each segment, followed by monthly garden projects. Original & family recipes (lots of these, since, in gladness & sorrow, Southerners basically believe that if you fix enough food, everything will turn out all right) are personalized with the authors' helpful comments on timing & preparation. Original, too, are the illustrations, like none you have ever seen--highly descriptive, often tongue-in-cheek--they deserve close scrutiny to be fully appreciated. "Imagine a cookbook" writes one reviewer, "that is a gardening manual, a calendar of events, a personal journal, an encyclopedia of houseplants & a compendium of food facts--that reads as easily as a novel! TASTEBUDS is a volume that every cook & gardener will want to own." To order write: Triad Publications, P.O.
