From Seed to Table: Growing, Harvesting, Cooking, and Preserving Food Paperback – November 23, 2013

I guess that if anything is true, I have learned that cooking is not easy for a person like me. I didn't learn how to cook growing up, I always was outside working with my Dad. My head under the hood of a big rig and fetching tools. My brothers hated working with him, and I was the only one that loved it. I did learn how to fend for myself with cars and almost anything else. My dad always said that it was good to be a girl, but that girl needed to know how to be self-sufficient. Well, I definitely am that, thanks to him. Oh, and he always made me wear gloves to that I would still have soft hands WITHOUT grease under the nails!!! LOL That being said I have collected cookbooks so that I can fix anything that I want. I love having the digital ones, they don't take up any space. Also having a small family now that the kids and grandkids are grown, having a cookbook is the only way to go in making smaller portions.New, Cookbooks for treats and everyday foods for everyone's collection.

From Seed to Table: Growing, Harvesting, Cooking, and Preserving Food by P.C. ZickVery useful information about a couple that have been raising their own crops for many decades. They start with composting and give you a bit of information about that and what works for them.Goes through the seasons and even how to deter animals from your garden. Winter months and planning along with recipes, pictures but no nutritional information.I like the zucchini bread because it does not use butter and has lots of spices.Spring is mostly about planting the seeds and watching the crops. Recipes for that month also and how to preserve and freeze extra food so you don't have to buy it at the store.Summer follows again with its own recipes. What a treasure this book is!A KEEPER!

From Seed to Table - Growing, Harvesting, Cooking, and Preserving Food is a delightfully personal account of gardening, both as fact and metaphor, in the lives of one long married couple. It is filled not only with very useful information about planning, starting, growing, harvesting, cooking and preserving fresh produce from your own garden, but also with personal stories and small town charm. The authors live in "Raccoon Township, Pennsylvania," for gosh sakes. It doesn't get much more down home charming than that!

Reading this book was like looking at a grandma's gardening notes full of wisdom, real experiences and scrumptious recipes. This book gave me a hope that I can grow some vegetables in my backyard and a glimpse of a real gardener's life experience.

This book is written like a blog, almost feels like a visit. They take you through a year in their life as gardeners. There are many helpful examples of the process just as title describes from seed to table. I enjoyed reading it.

I am a very busy gardener so I have only had time to peruse this book, From seed to Table. Very interested in studying it for answers to my many gardening problems!

This book was informative and good foundation for when I start planing for this summer.

This book is very different from the usual gardening books because the author writes in a very chatty manner as if she's talking to you about her own gardening lifestyle and gardening experiences. I didn't like this style very much because I found it too rambling and a lot of what she said didn't interest me.
