This text brings together the two passions of the author: cookery and gardening. Christopher Lloyd describes how he grows and cooks fruit, vegetables, salad plants and herbs and asserts that if one grows food for flavour, it ought then to be cooked to bring out the best flavour.
Christopher Lloyd was among the best informed, liveliest, most worthwhile gardening writers of our time and the author of a host of classics. He lived in Northiam, East Sussex and died in January 2006.
