Written in the '50s, when watery pot roast and martinis were America's idea of fodder for dinner parties, this book provides recipes for risotto, rabbit, chicken, polenta, greens, and cardoons. The author writes just as lovingly about working in his garden as he does about cooking the foods he grows in it.
