For inspiration in the garden and the kitchen ... a how-to guide to
growing and eating your own fruit and vegetables
*Daily Express*
A brilliant, brilliant cookbook full of imagination and packed with
delicious info on both the growing and the cooking side of things.
What better way to stimulate an interest in food than to really
follow the whole process from start to finish. Utterly rewarding,
and completely engaging!

...'The Kew Gardens Children's Cookbook' caught our Editors
attention with its colourful cover and promise of easy step-by-step
gardening advice for kids-and they weren't disappointed! [...]
Expect scrumptious and fresh recipe ideas such as runner bean and
bacon spaghetti or borlotti bean burgers (not to mention a whole
section on health and nutrition).
*Wayfair*
Wonderfully illustrated and complemented by panels on minibeasts
and other garden creatures, it shows how nature works to help
plants grow. The growing guide also includes advice on cooking
tools and utensils and healthy and balanced diets. From plot to
plate, what's not to like about that?

Young readers stand to gain much more than recipe ideas from this
kitchen-garden cookbook, which encourages even those whose garden
might only be a window box to get planting, growing, cooking and
eating their own food

Colourful and beautifully illustrated, it is a great aid for
fostering a love and understanding of fresh produce and an
awareness of a healthy diet -- essentials in an age when fast food
and child obesity are on the rise

This book is a fabulous, fun way to educate children and parents,
dressing up important subjects and issues in an easy to absorb way

This book is beautiful ... the description of when to grow each
vegetable with step by step instructions is perfect for sharing
with children ... The recipes are different from your average
children's cookbook ... In a time when some children do not really
know where their food comes from, this is perfect for the classroom
... With its beautiful front cover and informative introduction it
is a lovely book for children to help develop a love of growing and
eating fresh vegetables
*School Librarian*
A wonderful addition to any foodie household!

the garden, or on the allotment, then I'd urge you to get him/her
this great book...
