Sweet Summer Garden
Two things are official: it's hot and our plants have grown large. The squash in particular has taken off. Right now all the leaves are the size of chair seats. I know because, on a whim, I sat on one. Yes: it's huge.
Vegetarian and local and organic, oh my! Growing Chefs was founded in 2005 as a way to teach kids (and their parents!) about the delicious, wonderful ways in which food gets from the soil to the kitchen. Annie's love of plants is translated here into recipes using local ingredients and ideas from wherever she travels. Annie's philosophy is simple: "Broccoli is not boring!"
