In honor of Earth Day 2012 {this Sunday, April 22}, the second installment of my favorite new cookbooks is all about inspiring you to grow. Both of these cookbooks {sold in Anthropologie, next to mine} caught my eye because I think one of the most useful and enjoyable things to learn about food is how to grow it! Each book glorifies home-grown veggies, and show you how to make the most of your harvest.
I recently met the two grilling gals behind this book, Karen Adler and Judith Fertig, who call themselves the BBQ Queens. From their spunk, I knew I'd love anything created by this Kansas City duo, who have dedicated decades to the skills of the grill. You'll be fire roasting, wood-planking and char-grilling your heart-out before you know it.
When you want to put in a garden, what you need is some good, practical advice, and Grow Cook Eat delivers. A Food Lover's Guide to Gardening, as the subtitle so plainly states, this book suits every kitchen gardener no matter how many years they've had their trowel in the soil, or haven't. Author Willi Galloway shares her well-organized and inspiring successes and sound advice, hard-earned from years of tending her own Seattle soil.
I hope you'll forgive me the pun, but I have to say it. Dig in.
But before you go, tell me, what would you like to learn more about on the kitchen gardening front?

Oh, there's so much I want to learn.
Tyler just moved into our married house with our very first yard and I started my garden* last week so I have about a million questions!
But really, I'd love to start with the basics. There is so much information out there - on the internet and in books - and I've found myself overwhelmed already. So maybe a post or series about what you would consider to be the basics, the make or break's of gardening/cooking with your veg/herbs? Just an idea :)
