The Fresh Tastes from the Garden State

While this book focuses on one state, New Jersey, the content, recipes and photos cross those boundaries and are suitable anywhere. Each chapter examines a fruit, group of fruits, or vegetables and describes its history, impact on culture, nutrition, and phyto-nutrition, and how it is sold and used. Modern production practices are illustrated and beautifully photographed. Each item of produce is depicted on the plant as it grows.
