The first volume covered the growing and cooking of vegetables; Vol. II does the same for fruit. Of course you can expect quite a range of desserts, cakes, you name it. But it also includes quite a number of meat or fish dishes. As the first volume, it is written and illustrated beautifully, and I'd even be happy to have it if I couldn't cook any of the recipes. It's probably a very useful book for gardening too, but having an interest in gardening is by no means necessary to enjoy it.

Just as the first, each chapter in this book is about a different kind of fruit, mostly (?) fruit that Nigel Slater grows in his own small urban garden in London. There are some musings, some general information on the fruit, his 'garden diary', useful tips for cooking, ingredient combinations, trivia, photos, and several recipes per chapter.
