The Ghosts of Evolution: Nonsensical Fruit, Missing Partners and Other Ecological Anachronismsby: Connie Barlow February 28, 2002 Search: fruit |

|
Follow Connie Barlow's lead. Next time you're at the grocer's, spend some time in the fruits and veggie section. Pick up an avocado, hefting it in your hand. You can feel the weight of that huge seed within. Compare it with the nearby oranges or apples. Mum warned you not to swallow the seeds when you were a child, remember? Trees would sprout in your tummy. No worries about trying to swallow that avocado seed, is there? While you're squeezing that avocado, think back on autumn skies sparkling with maple or sycamore seeds fluttering in the chill winds. Why the absurd difference in size? Is it important? Connie Barlow thinks these differences are very important. As she reminds us, all those fruits have been around since long before ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book manages to be both an attractive glossy with many colour photos, and to have clearly laid out, relevant information. So, nice to look at and actually useful. Covers all the essential techniques, and includes detailed sections on individual fruit, veg and herbs. (e.g. Parsnips - 2 large pages; herbs - 2 featured per page). This would suit someone like me who is newish to gardening. It answers my queries and prompts ideas. It is not aimed at anyone who wants a great deal of information on a particular species.

Urban Eden: Grow Delicious Fruit, Vegetables and Herbs in a Really Small Spaceby: James Caplin, Adam Caplin March 11, 2004 Search: fruit |

I don't know anything about gardening, and I hoped this book would get me started growing fruit and veg. What a disappointment. A quarter of the book is given to garden design, and I have no use for that whatsoever! I want to know how to grow good quality fruit and veg before the garden looks pretty.
For a practical guide to growing food buy "The vegetable and herb gardener" by Dr D. G. Hessayon. If you want a coffee table cover about growing food buy this one. Some useful information, but much better is available elsewhere. >>More Details |

Jams, Jellies, Pickles & Preserves: Making the Most of Seasonal Vegetables, Fruits and Flowers (Natural Inspirations)by: Helen Sudell August 22, 1999 Search: fruit |
||
|
The recipies are as easy to follow, as are the ones handed down by my mum and my gran. This is not a comprehensive book of preserving, but it has some good ideas, and if you have the courage, the recipies are easy to adapt for whatever you want to use. The mango chutney recipe is a must for all lovers of Indian pickles, and can be adapted to use lime or grapefruit, instead of the listed lemon or orange. I've used whatever is in the fruit bowl - and it seems to go down okay with the family and friends. The pear and apple chutney recipies are adaptable to whatever quantities you have available at the time you decide to make chutney. Being a true, "and therefore frugal Scot", chutney is an important way of making your produce go ... Read More: >>More Details |

I ordered this book a short time ago - and sent it straight back! It is an instruction manual for an obsolete piece of equipment, so old that if you attempted to use any of the suggestions you would quite likely go down with botulism.
It is no more that a pamphlet and , quite frankly, the cost of it is beyond a joke. I have never been so disappointed in a book before, I have given it one star because there is no facility for minus 5 stars! >>More Details |

Wonderfully crafted work tracing the olive tree, it's fruit and oil throughout the Med. Having a quirky, wry way with words, the author offers many laugh out loud moments; once describing a poorly pruned tree in Palestine as being capable of hiding "a peacock in a Day-Glo T-shirt" in it's unruly branches. His journeys are further brought to life with recipes and glorious pencil drawings of the fabled fruit. Well researched it exposes a few gaps and glaring mistakes in more recent works, proving that the olive path is easily followed, not so easily portrayed.

This is a fascinating book. Women describe their feelings about motherhood - including letting go of ever becoming one, or - and the tensions (or not) between motherhood and fulfilling the creative urge. There is such a variety of views - and remarkably, none strident, defensive or prescriptive. This is so much better a picture of what motherhood means than the much better known and lauded whinings of Rachel Cusk and Kate Figes, and well worth reading even if you have no aspirations to write, act, paint, dance or whatever and no intentions of motherhood. >>More Details |
