Notes
From plot to plate, a cookery and gardening book in one, from the experts at the RHS. Is your child a budding gardener or chef? Children will love learning how to plant seeds and turn their produce into delicious meals they can eat. They’ll have juicy tomatoes that make fantastic pizzas, plump pumpkins for a perfect pie, luscious strawberries for a smashing smoothie and many tempting treats. They will discover how food grows, from photosynthesis to pollination and learn to care for their plants. Then when they have picked their crops, there are recipes for snacks, lunches and dinners that are really tasty and will encourage your child and family to eat healthily. And you don’t need a garden. This book includes plants that can all be grown in pots.Contents
