Indispensable for the gardening cook. --Alice Waters of Chez Panisse The most authoritative work on the market for anyone who wants to understand oriental vegetables. --Martin Yan, host of PBSs Yan Can Cook All her works are excellent shes the queen of vegetable growing. --Dan Pearson, The Observer Larkcom, a British-based gardener and author of The Salad Garden (LJ 5/1/84), presents a comprehensive volume on Chinese and Japanese vegetables. Over 100 varieties are listed with information on scientific and Oriental names, general background, cultivation requirements, and use in the kitchen. An additional section focuses on gardening techniques, such as "cut and come again" methods and protected cropping. The book concludes with a short collection of simple recipes. The information-dense text is occasionally lightened by high-quality line drawings and several pages of color photographs. The thorough index will be helpful for individuals interested in determining the identity of vegetables found in Oriental markets. As a whole, Oriental Vegetables focuses more on information for the "garden" than the "kitchen," and it should be a fine addition for most gardening collections, especially in such areas where interest in Oriental food is high. --Virginia A.
