Your Asian Veggie Patch

Your Asian Veggie Patch is a comprehensive, beginner-friendly guide to growing and cooking Asian vegetables, herbs and fruits at home. Permaculture gardener Connie Cao guides you though a curated selection of more than 40 cool-season and warm-season annuals and perennials (from amaranth greens, bok choy and daikon to loofah, pandan and yuzu), meaning it's easy to find produce that will thrive in your garden and climate.


Then, make the most of your abundant harvest with 50 fresh home-style recipes inspired by Connie's Chinese heritage: think edamame and pickled mustard greens, stir-fried Shanghai rice cakes, pork and chive dumplings, Chinese pumpkin cakes and winter melon tea.


Featuring photography and illustrations both beautiful and informative, Your Asian Veggie Patch has everything you need to get your garden flourishing and your mouth watering.
