Incredible Edibles

Incredible Edibles: 43 Fun Things to Grow in the City
Sonia Day
Firefly Books, 2010

This is a fun book, and I like it when writers make gardening fun.

I look forward to Sonia Day’s column in the paper because—whether I agree with her or not—she is never shy about having an opinion, and she articulates it in an engaging way.

Talking about the herb epazote, Day says, “Modern cookbooks describe it in polite terms as ‘musty’ or ‘pungent.’ But to me, it’s more like paint thinner.”

Each of her 43 crops comes with brief recommendations and a recipe or cooking know-how.
