Growing at the Speed of Life
In his days as the host of “The Galloping Gourmet,” Graham Kerr won Weight Watchers International's Broken Spoon Award for being its Public Enemy #1 when it came to making healthy choices. For many years now, Kerr has worked to change that perception, through his television appearances to promote the National Institute of Health’s 5-a-Day concept as well as his acclaimed cookbooks, including Graham Kerr’s Minimax Cookbook, a Julia Child Cookbook Award winner. His latest effort to promote healthy living is his own kitchen garden. Growing at the Speed of Life is a chronicle of its first year, plus an encyclopedia of 60 fruits and vegetables you can add to your yard, containers and menu—complete with 120 recipes. 2-color illustrations.

A good book for the back yard gardener, some good and simple information, covers most veggies you might put in a small back yard garden, not a lot of recipes, but some good ones, mostly simple and easy. Very good book, would suggest.
