Bob Flowerdew, the authority on organic gardening, has grown almost every fruit, vegetable, flower and herb known in his Norfolk garden in the last 25 years, and has published many books.

His latest book, Grow Your Own, Eat Your Own, could not have come at a better time, with prices for even the most basic of foodstuffs rocketing on the high street.

In this book Bob shows how to make the most of what you have grown during the year, whether you are an experienced gardener or just want to start growing some herbs or vegetables. As well as advice on which crops to grow at what time of year, Bob teaches how to use absolutely everything you grow, with ideas on how to squeeze, freeze, dry and fry. Also included are Bob’s own favourite recipes for such classics as raspberry jam and potato dauphinoise, and for the more adventurous a wonderful gooseberry and strawberry liqueur. Makes me wish I had a garden.
