Jeff brings together the essentials of gardening and cooking with delicious, approachable recipes and a discussion of what it means to eat in an ethical, sustainable, and healthy manner—and manages not to be preachy.

Publishers Weekly
Cox (Cellaring Wine), a veteran organic gardener, provides an encyclopedic guide to organic ingredients from fruits and vegetables to meats and dairy products, plus "kitchen staples" like coffee, bouillon and flour. Unlike most reference books, his is filled with personal touches: sidebars like "My Favorite Cherries" and "Keep an Eye Out for Black Walnuts" tell about Cox's encounters with foods, and even within the technical portions of the entries-which give information on nutrition, seasonality, storage, preparation and so on, as well as brief, fascinating histories of a food's cultivation-Cox often takes a personal approach. There are recipes using nearly every ingredient, most prepared simply to highlight a particular flavor, as in potent Rosemary Pesto, but others incorporate a food into heartier fare, like Caraway-Infused Pork. Though Cox's frequent pauses to extol organic food's virtues are of the preaching-to-the-choir variety, his abundant, knowledgeable advice on how to find and use the best products, and his presentation of special varieties of the ingredients make this a helpful resource for shoppers who are both bewildered and excited by the offerings in an ever-expanding field.

Library Journal
Cox (Your Organic Garden) has authored numerous books on organic foods, hosted two television shows, and is a member of and competition judge for the James Beard Foundation. In this excellent illustrated resource for novice and more advanced cooks, he covers fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, edible flowers, grains, herbs, spices, meat, dairy, and eggs. There are more than 250 well-developed and delicious recipes (e.g., Orange Salad, Penne with Broccoli and Fava Beans), detailed information on 150 alphabetically organized foods, and a "Top Varieties" section listing nearly 1000 of the best produce varieties available in the United States. Cox's belief in healthier living is seen throughout the book not only in his passion for organics but also through his wise food choices. He helps educate and inspire all to live a better life by going organic. Recommended for all libraries.-Jennifer A. Wickes, Food Pursuit, Pine Beach, NJ Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
