Publisher's Weekly Review

Landscape designer Creasy's cornucopia of recipes using ingredients plucked fresh from a garden should appeal to the growing number of people interested in eating locally. After all, nothing is more local than a garden in one's own backyard, though unfortunately, unlike the books in her Edible Garden series, she provides little guidance on getting started with gardening after recounting her own impressive endeavors. Still, even cooks who lack time or a green thumb can enjoy most of the recipes if they have access to a good farmers' market or organic vegetable supermarket section. Her creamy succotash may not taste quite as fresh without corn that has been picked after the water has already been put on to boil, and the stuffed zucchini blossoms might not look quite as elegant with ingredients bought elsewhere and toted home, but apart from the extravagant flower petal-filled salads most of her ingredients are widely available. With many of the recipes contributed by Creasy's friends and chefs she has met, the book has a very personal feel that is augmented by her enthusiastic descriptions and detailed instructions.

Library Journal Review

Creasy's Complete Book of Edible Landscaping, originally published in 1982, is a classic in the field, and she has written many other books and cookbooks since. Her latest includes an eclectic mix of recipes highlighting her garden's bounty, from Riot of Color Salad (garnished with pansies and other edible flowers) to Pea Shoots with Crab Sauce. Some of the recipes are unusual; others are as familiar as New England Boiled Dinner. Most are shown in color photographs; unfortunately, the food styling seems somewhat amateurish. For larger collections and others where Creasy's books have been popular. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
