DESCRIPTION
Kathy’s first book, From the Veg Patch, took us through a year in her vegetable patch and celebrated her ten favourite things to grow and eat from its produce. Peas, lettuce, courgettes, beans, tomatoes, beetroot, squash, apples, kale and leeks – all simple to grow, affordable and readily available – featured in easily affordable recipes made from these and other easy to grow ingredients. In her new book, Rough Patch, Kathy draws us into a year in the world of the kitchen garden to reflect on the lessons she learnt from the soil, and shares new recipes inspired by the land. There are tales of marauding pigs, transformative insights from planting leeks, recipes for an unchecked courgette glut and the discovery of why a radish seed is worth staying alive for. The result is a candid, hopeful and sometimes funny story about the healing powers of nature plus of course recipes for us all to try.
