Garden Gastronomy

This bilingual cookbook invites youth, families, and communities to grow, harvest, and cook together, discovering the joy of fresh, healthy meals along the way. With recipes tried and tasted by little chefs (and their grown-ups), it's a resource for anyone ready to explore the joy of cooking with youth and building community around the table.

Recipe Cards

Looking for a sensible, quick and healthy meal? Here are 11 shareable and bilingual recipes from our cookbook. They’re kid-tested and kid-approved, but also great go-to meals for adults. We selected these because of their adaptability based on the season and what you may have on hand.
