Part gardening tutorial, part account of author Amy Goldman's "encounters with remarkable vegetables," this hardcover tome lovingly ponders the case histories and culinary merits of common and uncommon varieties of the pumpkin and the squash. Filled with luminous images shot by award-winning photographer Victor Schrager, and mouth-watering recipes and instructions for growing, harvesting and saving seeds, Goldman's book also shares a passionate plea: that the reader be inspired to grow, handle and harvest the precious heirloom varieties that are fast disappearing from the planet.
