The Compleat Squash
A Passionate Grower's Guide
by Ann Goldman
ISBN 1579652514
216 pages, hardcover
Part gardening book, part "encounters with remarkable vegetables,"
Amy Goldman's The Compleat Squash unearths the personalities--yes, personalities--of
the pumpkin and the squash. They are members in good standing in the horticultural
hall of fame, and Goldman lovingly ponders their case histories and culinary
merits both with common and uncommon varieties. She gets glorious help
from award-winning photographer Victor Schrager, who brings out their
eclectic beauty in more than 150 luminous color portraits. Growing, harvesting,
and seed-saving instructions are included for the gardener, and for the
cook a selection of recipes that show off the unique, lovely flavors of
these versatile vegetables.
