Why read it?
1 author picked The Vegetable Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Zucchini? Or courgette? Sweet corn? Or maize? Runner bean? Or stick bean? Our kitchen gardens are complicated by linguistic confusion. I resolve them through the pages of the old, yet highly respected The Vegetable Book – An Unnatural History. For example: "Vegetable marrows, brought to England [from the Americas] about 1700...are known as Italian small marrows, or zucchini, or courgettes (little marrows)." This little gem was written by Buddhist Yann Lovelock way back in the 1970s. It remains a revealing read.
