does anyone know this gardening /cooking book??

[steppemum]

Heard someone on radio 4 (probably women's hour) a few months ago. He was talking about growing vegetables that are expensive to buy/unusual instead of growing common veg which are cheap to buy (eg potatoes)

He has written a book, about growing unusual veg and then includes recipes.

I have no idea who he is, just remembered him because I want to buy the book for my mum for christmas, can't find where I wrote it down, and too vague to google

can anyone help?

Could that have been James Wong, and his Homegrown Revolution? I didn't see him but Googled it .

His book Tender Volume I is about his vegetable garden.

I think this was James Wong. Someone else asked the same question a few weeks ago. I am going to try and grow some of his ideas such as Cucamelons. He has a seed range with Suttons.

Thank you everyone!!
