What to read after The National Trust Book of Fruit and Vegetable Cookery?

From the scallions and roots of medieval diet to the delights of Victorian and Edwardian kitchen gardens, the cultivation of fruit and vegetables has been an important part of the gardener's work. This book is full of recipes for delicious dishes, cures and vinegars which have been adapted from old recipes to suit contemporary tastes. This book also highlights a side of the National Trust's work that is sometimes overlooked - that is the abundance of fruits, herbs and vegetables preserved and cultivated as part of our gardening heritage.
