The Fresh Tastes from the Garden State
By Carol Byrd-Bredbenner

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 vegetable and describes its history, impact on culture, its 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.
