Green Thumbs Christmas Gifts

Food books continue to set trends and today’s bookclub share  is popular media personality and foodie Indira Naidoo’s book, The edible Balcony.



Indira embarks on a mission to transform her tiny thirteen-floor balcony into a bountiful kitchen garden. She soon establishes a productive urban oasis that takes just ten minutes a day to maintain, yet provides her with an ever-changing selection of seasonal fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables.

Featuring 60 delicious recipes showcasing her home-grown produce, plus plenty of practical advice, The Edible Balcony charts a year in the life of Indira's balcony garden and gives a season-by-season account of the triumphs and challenges she faces. This warm and engaging book will inspire even the most reluctant green thumbs to channel their inner gardeners and reconnect with nature, while also saving money and reducing their carbon footprint. Even the most inexperienced gardener can’t go wrong with this book. A great gift but I suspect this will also be on your own Christmas to me gift list.
