'I have known Trevor for many years, especially during his time as Minister for Food and Horticulture. He is passionate about good food and growing it sustainably. All this comes across in this very hands-on and beautifully illustrated book.'
Neven Maguire, chef and author
‘Trevor is one of the most passionate and inspiring growers in Ireland and he has packed this book with many nuggets and vignettes from a lifetime’s growing. We can heartily recommend Trevor’s Kitchen Garden, which takes the GIYer week-by-week through the growing year – it’s a treasure trove of information, tips, interesting facts, recipes, stories and more.’
Michael Kelly, founder of GIY
‘More than a gardening book, Trevor’s Kitchen Garden is steeped in the history and heritage attached to our natural world and is an inspiration to those with an interest in growing their own food and becoming more self-sufficient.’
Darina Allen, chef and author
'An excellent, eminently practical guide based on the author’s first-hand experience of sowing, growing and harvesting food in his own back garden. '
Fionnuala Fallon, The Irish Times
'This is real gardening and not the stuff of trendy land-scape gardeners beloved by TV producers. I found myself absorbed by the content and read it from cover to cover, for it is the ultimate practical guide to feeding oneself economically with home-grown produce.'
Joe Barry, Irish Independent
