"With lush photographs and spare prose" a Brooklyn blogger shares recipes and "records her life as a gardener, a cook and an urban forager." (The New York Times)

Marie Viljoen's beautiful first book draws the reader into a world of unfolding seasons, seen from the perspective of an expert gardener, cook and photographer. Each chapter is a month, divided into three parts: New York City, the author's garden, and her kitchen, each setting the stage for a lavish seasonal menu with recipes drawn from farmers markets, wild-foraged ingredients, and produce grown on her city terrace and roof farm. Named for the size of her tiny Brooklyn terrace, and the blog it inspired, Viljoen's book is a unique perspective of the concrete jungle, where the month is known by the flowers in bloom, the vegetable in season, and the migrating birds crossing a Brooklyn sky. Set against a backdrop of growing up in South Africa and moving to the United States, meeting her French husband, and finding a culinary and emotional home in Brooklyn, Viljoen's book is a love letter to living seasonally in the most famous city on the planet.

"If you don't think of this city as a living ecosystem, Marie Viljoen will change your perspective forever." —Edible Brooklyn

"Offer[s] visions of growing, cooking and sharing fresh food as central to living a good life." —Seattle Times
