Default Premature review Book " jamie at home"

In article ,
Bill wrote:

A cookbook based on the four seasons. Nothing so unique about that
except it only has recipes using stuff you can grow. Author recommends
seed saver's, Johnny's and more. Sort of reflects "Omnivore's Dilemma"
and mentions wild game.

Dedicated to Steve Erwin.

Starts off with this here chat. Edited for brevity .

" Look, I thought this would be a good opportunity to get you all up to
speed, because it will come out in the press eventually anyway. So I'm
going to tell you straight: basically, my wife has accused me of having
an affair. She'll tell anyone she meets that I've been nipping out of
the house for and hour here , an hour there, and coming back looking
refreshed, rosy-cheeked and guilty, with grass stains on my knees.
.......................
All I've done is fallen in love with my garden, and with my veg patch
in particular..........."
