Kitchen Garden Cookbook by Jeanne Kelley

Kitchen Garden Cookbook by Jeanne Kelley

This book came out in 2013, and the subtitle is Celebrating the Homegrown & Homemade.

Jeanne is also the author of the acclaimed Blue Eggs and Yellow Tomatoes: Recipes from a Modern Kitchen Garden and Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library Holiday Baking.

In this cookbook, Jeanne shares the recipes she developed to feature the fruits, vegetables, herbs, eggs, and even honey harvested from your garden.
Jeanne’s simple recipes are inspiring and delicious. Whether you have a large or small kitchen garden or enjoy shopping for fresh ingredients from the farmer’s market, Jeanne’s cookbook will give you plenty of new ideas for every season in the garden.

Jeanne’s cookbook is cleverly divided into four main sections: spring, summer, fall, and winter, as well as the coop and the hive.

What I love about Jeanne’s cookbook is its focus on the “greatest hits” of a traditional kitchen garden—like tomatoes, zucchini, and berries. Jeanne also shares her tips for planting a well-thought-out kitchen garden.

Jeanne offers over 100 recipes featuring the fresh and natural flavors of whatever is in season. Some of my favorites include her shaved zucchini salad with almonds, ricotta, and pea crostini, grilled ham and cheese with herb pesto, cherry tomato and thyme frittata, lettuce, butter, and radish salad, and her summer herb drizzle with sliced tomatoes and mozzarella.

This book is 224 pages of beautiful photography and quaint illustrations of Jeanne’s garden. It is a fabulous go-to cookbook for the gardener-cook.
