    Garden Vegetable Recipes

    About

    The "garden" section of this website is dedicated to interesting and unique vegetables. These plants may not be wild, but I cook them using a forager's instinct.

    One of things I'm most passionate about are parts of common vegetables you may not know are edible.

    For example, just like with green tomatoes, many plants are edible in different stages of ripeness. Squash and pumpkins being just two.

    a green pumpkin cut in half showing seeds.

    The unripe seeds and flesh of green pumpkin are edible and taste similar to summer squash.

    Carrot greens are delicious if they're prepared correctly. Whatever you grow, and however you like to cook, I hope you can find some inspiration here.
