Reviews of Renee's Cookbooks:
 from
The New York Times:
" . . . the best of these were collected in "Recipes from
a Kitchen Garden" . . . It is filled with fast, fresh food
and unexpected flavor combinations. It is just right to
take along as a present for a weekend and is as useful to
people who rely on farmers' markets and supermarkets as it
is to exemplary gardeners.
Now, there is "More Recipes from a Kitchen Garden. Like
the first book, it is not strictly for vegetarians; it has
recipes for fish, chicken and meat, albeit always cooked
with something from the garden. The 300 new recipes
include lots of aromatic herbs, chiles and edible flowers
, lemon thyme buttermilk biscuits, curried
cucumbers and a perfectly balanced cilantro and lime-based
mixture that can be an all-purpose marinade, sauce or
salad dressing. Taken together, the books are an admirable
collection of healthy, unpretentious and delicious recipes
. . ."
from Horticulture Magazine:
". . . If one can apply such an adjective to
cookbooks, both are merry - full of simplicity, health and
good cheer. That is not surprising, considering the
genesis of these recipes. First Shepherd gathers the best
things available in her trial garden; then she confers
with her cooking companion and coauthor, Fran Raboff,
about the best treatment for her produce; and then the two
set off on a cooking and eating orgy, with good friends
who convivially make suggestions as they consume the
results. That is, of course, the way good recipes are
born, and lucky are those who attend one of these
cooking-eating sprees."
