Garden Grown

On her popular blog Lemon Stripes, Julia Dzafic shares her life—motherhood, decor, lifestyle, wellness, cooking, and more—with thousands of readers. Julia and her husband Anel are avid gardeners, and the questions she gets the most from her followers are about how to grow their own food—and then what to do with their garden bounty in the kitchen.

Garden Grown is an aesthetically pleasing garden-to-table cookbook packed full with over 100 colorful, easy-to-make, family-friendly, veggie-forward recipes and scattered with gardening tips along the way. This is a book for home gardeners who aren’t quite sure what to do with all of the beautiful food they’ve grown, for aspiring gardeners, and for enthusiastic farmers market shoppers.

Garden Grown’s recipes are divided into sections featuring common vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and recipes ranging from pickles to pesto to pie to pizza. Anel provides gardening tips for each type of produce, including natural pest control, planting pointers, and harvesting how-tos, while Julia shares recipes near and dear to her heart and tips for how to store overflow to last throughout the offseason. With this book, readers will learn how to make the most of their garden’s bounty all year round.
