This is a good book for people who grow and like traditional vegetables (beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, peppers, etc.) and who want to find out more about funky alternatives for these kinds of vegetables. And that's how the book is laid out - short "chapters" that cover each vegetable family in a "if you like this, grow this-this-or-this" style. And what it does, it does really well - I like cucumbers myself, and would definitely like to try white or yellow cucumbers, or try some of the asian or indian varieties I'd never even heard of. However, actually growing these beautiful veg will involve getting seeds from sellers either online (on the net, pretty easy!) or at seed fairs (which happen each February/March where I'm from).
The only thing I thought was missing was some more exotic perennial vegetables, which I would have liked to discover... I was kind of hoping for more about that when I purchased the book. But you can't have everything I suppose!
A really nice addition to my gardening book collection, and I'll have fun cozying up with it some more, and getting inspiration for my modest garden for the next couple of winter months. Thanks Ms Jabbour!

There are also tips and tricks for extending the season of some plants as well. I have really enjoyed reading this book and expanding my garden diversity. Happy gardening!
I think this book is best suited to beginner gardeners or people have usually limited themselves to nursery plants and retail seed racks. For you, I think this book will be a valuable resource.
However, I would only consider myself an "intermediate" gardener, but, I am already familiar with a majority of varieties mentioned in this book. I think many people who grow their own vegetables are curiosity-driven, and certainly, anyone who would buy this book is. Which is why I think many gardeners may not get the inspiration they were hoping for from this book. Most of the varieties that are covered in this book are already sold (and often promoted) by prominent seed sellers, especially organic, heirloom and non-GMO seller. While you may not as often encounter these varieties on retail seed racks or at a nursery, you are likely to encounter them in catalogs or online stores. I realize it would be unfortunate if the contrary were true (since then it would be very hard to track down the seeds you need to grow the plants you are interested in), but this means the book does not offer much new information for many of us as is. If you are the sort of gardener who often finds themselves opening a seed catalog or browsing a website over the winter and saying "oh that looks interesting, I'll give that a try this season" I think you will find this book underwhelming.
Total game changer.
update: the cucamelons, groundcherrries and yellow cucumbers (boothby's blonde) are doing very well, are delicious and are absolute
'crowd-pleasers", especially kids. Everyone visiting grabs as much as they can. I've had lots of seed requests.
the different brassicae I've tried also did exceptionally well.
