Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar
This was
nicely surprising. Written mostly by the first lady in cooperation with
associates who have been working with her in the White House kitchen
garden and also in then cooking the produce it is
an examination of small to large gardens, a history of home gardening,
and a few other things in between. Kind of eclectic at times but it
works when she gets back to her point and stops chatting about her
parents. Plans for the garden in each season (up to
time of publication) are given and nice hints and other how tos are also
indicated for the plants and products - even bees. (The tip to calm
bees with water was learned from improvisation when visiting dignitaries
were arriving and the bees were swarming unexpectedly.)
It is organized by season and ends with a selection of similarly sorted
recipes.
