Homemade creations and bounty from the garden make for welcome gifts. Food editor and writer Robertson incorporates these subjects in this unique collection of 100 projects for both edible and practical use. No parts of the plant are left out; the chapter "Straight from the Garden" instructs readers to use cuttings, pressed leaves, and flowers to create decorated stationery and "Cook's Window Boxes." A chapter on "Herbs & Flowers" contains information on making fragrant bath sachets, herbal bathtime teas, and edible wreaths of chilies or herbs. The final chapter, "Fruits, Vegetables & Nuts," includes recipes for toffee apples, cucumber night cream, and the classic creme de cassis. A list of projects by category neatly summarizes all of these gifts from the garden. (Library Journal)
