kitchen gardens don't have to be huge. A few judiciously planted
containers can make your balcony garden yield a harvest many suburbanites
would die for. Fellow city folk will marvel at the fresh produce
from your potted plot of earth.
The true test, however, is the menu: How will you put it all together
into a meal you can be proud to serve? Don't worry! We've got you
covered. We've got recipes for just
about everything you can harvest in the sections that follow.
And there are plenty
of options. You could start your home-grown meal with a fresh salad.
Think mixed greens, tomatoes, arugula, carrots -- there isn't much
you can grow in a pot that you can't throw in a salad! Then, move
on to a soup course, perhaps a vichyssoise or gazpacho, for instance.
There are unique recipes for appetizers, vegetable-based entrees,
and much more. And don't forget herbs and edible flowers, which
can spice up and dress up any garden-inspired plate.
Remember, if you see
it growing out there on your terrace, we've probably got a recipe
for it right here. Happy cooking!
