The Complete Okra Guidebook

Okra has travelled a long way: from African fields to Caribbean kitchens, Southern gardens, Asian markets and Middle Eastern dishes.

The Complete Okra Guidebook follows this one plant from seed to harvest, then into the kitchen. It explains how to grow okra, choose varieties, manage pests organically, save seeds and know when to harvest. It also brings together recipes and preservation methods from different parts of the world.

You’ll find Southern fried okra and gumbo, West African soups, Caribbean dishes, Asian curries and Middle Eastern bamia, alongside pickling, freezing and drying techniques.

A practical book for anyone who wants to understand one crop properly: how to grow it, cook it and keep it.
