Here is a revised edition of vegetable guru Joy Larkcom's guide to the vegetables of the Far East. Based on 10 years of research, it features a cornucopia of crops: a whole new world of vegetables that includes hardy leafy mustards, komatsuna, Chinese yams, lablab beans, Japanese pumpkin and water bamboo - all full of flavour, versatile and easy to grow.
Joy Larkcom shows how Western gardeners can grow these vegetables, whatever their weather, whatever their soil type. Using organic methods and both traditional and modern techniques, she takes you through each stage of cultivation, and provides over 50 of her own delicious recipes.
