Reviews

A truly inspiring book * Nigella Lawson *
Martha invites us to think of gardening the way we do cooking-imperfectly, joyfully, and learning as we go. I've never felt so compelled to get into my garden. It was a true joy to read * Yotam Ottolenghi *
You don't have to be naturally green fingered to love this book. It's friendly, easy to read and even easier to understand. But most of all it will make you want to get into the garden * Nadiya Hussain *
Martha's love and knowledge of food stems from her passion for gardening. From delicate edible flowers to robust hearty root vegetables, this book will guide and inspire you to grow your own and have some fun on the way * Michel Roux *
