Garden to Table: Fresh Recipes to Cook and Share

This addition to the American Girl cookbook series features more than 50 fresh and nutritious dishes. Recipes are organized according to when and where the produce grows: in vegetable and herb gardens, berry patches, orchards, at harvest time, and in citrus groves. Recipes vary from basic (“Fresh Fruit Spa Water”) to more involved (vegetable and shrimp stir fry). Most recipes feature multiple flavorful ingredients, which should lend readers a sense of accomplishment. Alongside images of fruits, vegetables, and the completed dishes are photographs of girls gathering produce. A warm and practical introduction to wholesome foods and preparations. Ages 8–up.
