Book Description
CLICK HERE to download the chapter on "Growing Backyard Fogs" from the book From Tree to Table From Tree to Table celebrates the satisfaction that comes from planting and enjoying fruit trees in the maritime Pacific region. It's a collaboration between the authors and amateur gardeners, horticultural experts, and dedicated chefs from up and down the West Coast. The result is a charming and accessible guide for local plant and food lovers that dispels the myth that gardeners in sun-challenged climes can never find happiness with fruit trees With advice that's suitable for drizzly Seattle backyards and frosty Portland burbs as well as often-sunny Marin or foggy Richmond, the authors offer both anecdotal and expert advice for raising everything from apples to plums, lemons to figs, and much more in some of the most difficult conditions -- heavy soils, overcast and rainy weather, cool summers, and relatively mild winters. In addition to describing growing, planting, and pruning tips in each fruit-specific chapter, From Tree to Table features recipes from the West Coast's best and brightest chefs, including San Francisco's Tom McNaughton, and two Seattle icons, Tom Douglas and Ethan Stowell. Readers will discover that it takes little technical know-how, minimal upkeep, and very little space to participate actively in the sustainability solution. After all, what could be more local and enduring than fresh apricots or Fuyu persimmons from a backyard tree that can feed generations to come?

Book Description
For Patrice Newell, olive oil is a gift from the earth. Its origins are ancient, its uses manifold and its flavours sublime. It can turn an ordinary meal into a feast and bring out the connoisseur in all of us. This passion is shared by the twenty cooks and chefs who have contributed their favourite recipes to this glorious book on the culinary pleasures of Australian olive oil. Stephanie Alexander bakes crisp, golden bread and Maggie Beer perfects an oil-moistened apple cake. Tony Bilson anoints a rich fish stock and Damien Pignolet dresses delicious French salads. Kylie Kwong shows how the heady tastes of traditional Chinese food can benefit from a generous drizzle of the good oil. Patrice takes us on a journey through the olive groves of Australia, arguing for local oil over imported oil. She teaches us how to identify good oil and recognise the evils of rancidity. She invites us into the kitchen of her Hunter Valley homestead, in the midst of a 6000-tree olive grove, and introduces us to the basics- marinades, dressings, mayonnaise, winter soups, summer salads, infusions and sweet treats. She pauses to tell us of the benefits of good fat, the dangers of unsustainable farming and the indignities of many manufactured foods. Beautifully photographed by Simon Griffiths, Tree to Tablewill inspire you to make a bottle of Australian olive oil the focus of your cooking and the centrepiece of your table.
