Nuts

Nuts – Growing and Cooking includes over seventy recipes from a spiced pecan and pumpkin salad, Christmas nut loaf to a walnut cake. Also included re storage and handling tips and ways to make your own nut products such as nut milks and nut butters. Traditionally nut trees are planted for future generations but this book shows how you can have a harvest within a season, even in a small space. Health wise, nuts are not so much a super as a wonder food, easy to store, and one of the most concentrated foods available; a tiny, but delectable package.
