Out Now: My First Cookbook!

I’m excited to announce that my first cookbook is out now!

I’m a book lover by nature and while this site will continue to grow and will continue to be 100% free, I can’t help but write it all down in book format, accompanied with full page photos. Preserving Your Urban Harvest contains 73 recipes for 21 common home garden favourites, with some recipes found here on this site, but with so many more not found here.

I’m releasing in paperback first and will follow up with an ebook in the near future for those who prefer a digital cookbook.

Here’s the cover:
