So, I’m doing a thing …

I know a lot of you read my blog for the recipes or the garden tips.

Over the past couple of months I’ve finally done what I’ve been threatening to do for years. I’ve collected 60 of my recipes (some of which have appeared on my blog, and many which haven’t) and put them together with growing tips to create a book I’ve tentatively titled Soup to Soil.

Soup to Soil is a seasonal guide to cooking and gardening. Recipes, arranged seasonally, feature fruits and vegetables from the garden. Each recipe is followed by a growing and preserving guide for one of the ingredients in the recipe.

The first draft of the manuscript is complete, and now the hard work starts. Over the next year, I’ll be cooking, gardening and photographing in order to refine and document all the recipes and gardening information in the book.

My goal is a hardcover full of delicious recipes, helpful gardening tips, and beautiful photographs.

If you’d like to test some of the recipes for me, I’d love to have you join my recipe testing crew! Send me a message through my contact page.
