| Harvest: Unexpected Projects Using 47 Extraordinary Garden Plants by Stefani Bittner and Alethea HarampolisIf you have trouble deciding between style and substance when it comes to your garden, this eclectic volume may help you find a balance. Written by landscape designers and illustrated with striking photographs, Harvest will guide you through designing, cultivating, harvesting, and using all kinds of common garden plants. Some are unexpectedly edible -- lavender paired with chocolate mint makes delicious tea, and chrysanthemums are tasty in a salad -- while others have external or aesthetic applications, such as an apricot facial mask or dyes made from turmeric and blueberry. Stylish yet unfussy, Harvest is "good for gardeners of any type" (Library Journal). |

| Bowls of Plenty: Recipes for Healthy and Delicious Whole Grain Meals by Carolynn CarreñoThere's something inherently satisfying about a one-bowl meal -- especially if the recipe comes from this new collection by award-winning food writer Carolynn Carreño. "Flavor first" is her guiding philosophy, and it's on full display in dishes like butternut-squash risotto with slow-cooked kale, goat's milk rice pudding with raisins, or Umbrian farro and mozzarella salad. In addition to sharing anecdotes from her career and de-mystifying some lesser-known grains, Carreño also provides guidelines for building your own bowls with whatever you've got in your kitchen. One-bowl aficionados looking for further healthy ideas may also want to try Sara Forte's The Sprouted Kitchen Bowl and Spoon. |

Wrapping up with a "Meet the Models" gallery of adorable felines, Cat Castles is a quirky yet practical read that's perfect for Jackson Galaxy fans and cat fanciers of all kinds. |
