White House Garden Cookbook': Harvesting a Healthier Nation

Lara Silverstein's "A White House Garden Cookbook" (Red Rock Press, $25) has plenty of dirt on Michelle Obama - and the 55 fruits, veggies and herbs that she's grown at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. during the past year. The book (which is inspired, not sponsored, by The White House Project) brings together recipes from community gardens across the country that are certainly fit for the first family, and yours.
