Summary |
"As in his previous book, Flower Power, Olaf Hajek's wondrously imaginative and detailed illustrations of vegetables are paired with engaging and eye-opening texts. Organized by season, the book tells how each vegetable is grown, how it can be enjoyed on our plates, its health benefits, historical tidbits, and botanical fun facts. This inviting journey through the growing seasons celebrates the artistic, historical, and culinary bounty that awaits us in the garden and at the table"-- Provided by publisher. |
