Groveflora - Your Premier Garden Resource in India
GARDEN RECIPES
This year, Groveflora got a bumper harvest. After giving away many of the fruits of labor to deserving folks we still had plenty left. Then an enthusiastic new recruit in our team suggested we take turns using the produce to cook.
So here we begin a series of recipes contributed by the Groveflora Team that Cooks as well. The recipes are simple and use fruits and vegetables from the Garden. We added an additional qualifier that they should also be nutritious.
So here is the first of many…contributed by M.Dewan. If you have any recipes you would like us to feature, do write to us at info@groveflora.com with Garden Recipes in the Subject Line. Just remember the qualifier though and HAPPY COOKING!!
