Lovingly crafted around the seasons of the West Coast, this sumptuous garden-to-table cookbook is a perfect guide to eating local, in season, and deliciously all year round.

With a background in culinary school and sommelier training, Sabrina Currie has always been comfortable in the kitchen, but living on Vancouver island—a rich landscape for food growing, foraging, and fishing—inspired her to get comfortable in the dirt. After years of trial-and-error gardening and learning to apply her formidable cooking skills to food grown with her own hands, Currie gave us West Coast Kitchen Garden: the perfect guide to eating local, in season, and deliciously all year round.

Covering appetizers, main courses, snacks, desserts, and drinks, West Coast Kitchen Garden is full of nourishing whole food recipes to realign our kitchens with the land around us. From seeding, to tending, to harvesting, to the table, Currie follows West Coast plants through their life cycle and helps you incorporate them into your cooking. Each season opens with a gardening guide to make sure you’re on track in your yard, followed by lovingly crafted seasonal menus to bring the outdoors to your kitchen. You’ll find these recipes bursting with flavour and already perfectly paired into courses for scrumptious summer dinner parties, fall harvest celebrations, cozy winter feasts, and refreshing spring picnics.
