Purchase options and add-ons

Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman are America’s foremost organic gardeners―and authorities. Barbara is the author of The Garden Primer, and Eliot wrote the bible for organic gardening, The New Organic Grower. Today they are the face of the locavore movement, working through their extraordinary Four Season Farm in Maine. And now they’ve written the book on how to grow what you eat, and cook what you grow.


The Four Season Farm Gardener’s Cookbook is two books in one. It’s a complete four-season cookbook with 120 recipes from Barbara, a master cook as well as master gardener, who shows how to maximize the fruits―and vegetables―of your labors, from Stuffed Squash Blossom Fritters to Red Thai Curry with Fall Vegetables to Hazelnut Torte with Summer Berries.


And it’s a step-by-step garden guide that works no matter how big or small your plot, with easy-to-follow instructions and plans for different gardens. It covers size of the garden, nourishing the soil, planning ahead, and the importance of rotating crops―yes, even in your backyard. And, at the core, individual instructions on the crops, from the hardy and healthful cabbage family to fourteen essential culinary herbs.


Eating doesn’t get any more local than your own backyard.

The book was full of useful information and would have enjoyed the book more
Where to begin, received this book as a gift and was looking forward to the wealth of knowledge within the book. After reading through the book, notice something odd. The publisher of this book messed up in their quality control. The book goes from page 1 to 126, the next page was 151. The page count appears correct from 151 to 174. Once you finish page 174 the book jumps back to page 151 to completion of the book. It could have been merely a misprint in the numbering, except page 151-174 are exact duplicates and the missing pages are the correct number of pages. This was clearing a quality control issue. The book was published in 2012 by workman.com.The book was full of useful information and would have enjoyed the book more, if the book was not missing 20 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, interesting, informative, award-winning book
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
The title of this award-winning book, "The Four Season Farm Gardener's Cookbook," may be misleading. It is not just a cookbook. Part 1 is an excellent, thorough, and detailed guide to growing organic vegetables. Part 2 is a cookbook with recipes using the fruits and vegetables grown in Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman's gardens.
Besides the detailed, orderly, and step-by-step presentation of the material in the book along with the numerous colored photographs, it may also have won the American Horticultural Society's Book Award in 2014 because of the style in which the book was written. It is so interesting; it draws you in.
If you want to learn to grow organically, or maybe you have not been successful at it, this extensive presentation based on their years of experience is a must read for you. Once you are growing food you will enjoy using these recipes with their replacement suggestions for other plants that will be growing during other seasons of the year - along with her various interesting tips.
I have read the entire book and waited until I finished to post my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic book! Yes, I have other books that Barbara and Eliot have written, but in my opinion this one is their best yet! It takes all the knowledge that the two of them have aquired over the many years that the two of them have been gardening and puts it ALL into an enjoyable and easy to read form. Like some have said, it's two books in one! It starts out with everything a beginning or even seasoned gardener needs to know on building the soil, feeding the plants, suggestions on what seeds to plant, when to plant, etc.... They tell you how to garden year round, no matter where you might live, in any climate. How to build your own simple greenhouse and other season extenders and the list goes on and on! And then Barbara even shares lots of receipes that she has developed, to eat fresh from your garden, year round! What more could anyone ask for!? If you can only buy one vegetable gardening book, this should be the one you get!

3.0 out of 5 stars More gardening tips than recipes
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013
Verified Purchase
I wanted to like this book. I own every book Eliot Coleman has published, and I've been expanding a garden which will eventually grow most of my own vegetables in an average sized suburban yard based on his techniques. I highly recommend them. But reading through his books I frequently come across vegetable I've never heard about (tatsoi, anyone?) and my hope was that this book would be a systematic, season-based guide to cooking from the gardening plans laid out in Coleman's books, with ideas to use the less common vegetables.
It isn't, unfortunately. It is a decent collection of a few recipes using fresh ingredients from a garden, but it isn't particularly innovative as a cookbook. And about 60% of the book is gardening instruction, mostly a rehash of the techniques laid out in Coleman's books, though this time with color line drawings instead of black and white. I didn't need that.
If you haven't read any of Eliot Coleman's work (start with  Four-Season Harvest  if you are interested) and are interested in growing vegetables year round, and you don't have any of Alice Waters' season based cookbooks (start with  The Art of Simple Food , it's amazing), this is probably a decent purchase. If, like me, you already have a few cookbooks focused on seasonal cooking, and you already own some books on year-round gardening, then you don't need this.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT Coverage & Content - INCLUDING a yearly Survival Garden
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2015
Verified Purchase
This book is focused on the how and why of a kitchen garden, the ground prepartion, growing and storage of produce. It includes the best choices in plant varieties and why, and many neat recipes. It's just an EXCELLENT book for someone wanting to understand how to grow food for their family - especially in the face of hard times.

There is even a section on what to plant for a true yearly cycle SURVIVAL GARDEN, if times get that rough for you and yours.

The content is wonderful for someone just getting into this seriously, and for those needing to consider the many angles for success in doing this, in order to make the best decisions.

Don't let clever bad reviews mislead you. If you need a through introduction and how to manual, this is one of the best.

The voices of experience, simple as that. When an author really knows his/her subject from years of doing it, the experience surfaces in his or her writing. And that's what you get from this book. I like the fact that the book isn't 100 % about growing. I like the recipe section because it shows a way to enjoy your harvest.
