Spade, Seed & Supper (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"And it so happened that just up the road, in the very centre of the beautiful Cotswold village of Amberley, were the sweetest, loveliest, flattest, best tended allotments in the entire universe. Or so it seemed to us."The demand for allotments is at an all time high and the grow-your-own vegetable movement is in full swing. Spade, Seed & Supper offers a tongue-in-cheek insight into the trials, tribulations and triumphs of tending your own patch. Including some delicious, well-tried recipes for the produce that the birds and slugs don't get, this honest, down to earth and amusing account of allotment life reveals the reality behind the glossy pictures of the 'how to' books and settles once and for all the issue of whether growing your own actually saves you any money. Mel Narongchai's beautiful and witty illustrations complement the text perfectly.Martin Spice's work has appeared in the Times Educational Supplement, Kitchen Garden magazine, Weekly Telegraph, Marie Claire and The South Morning China Post, to name but a few. He is the author of five books for children.
