Jane Griffiths is a television producer, writer, artist and traveller who has been growing organic vegetables and herbs for nearly thirty years.
Her first book, Jane’s Delicious Garden has led to a vegetable revolution in South Africa, with thousands of home growers now following in her green footsteps. Five more books followed, including:
Jane's Delicious Urban Gardening Jane shares her experiences of creating her urban farm oasis. In addition to growing food in every available space, she includes information on keeping chickens and bees, creating a wetland pool, how to harvest grey water and rainwater plus much more.
Jane’s Delicious A-Z of Vegetables is a detailed organic growing guide to the most commonly-grown vegetables - plus many new and unusual ones now available. The book has in-depth information on how to sow, plant, feed, water, protect, harvest and eat them, as well as save their seed.
Jane's Delicious A-Z of Herbs covers everything you need to know about herbs - from creative ideas for herb garden design, to hands-on advice for setting up and maintaining an organic herb garden.
Jane's Delicious Superfoods is a comprehensive guide to more than 150 delicious, nutrient-rich foods which, eaten as part of a balanced diet, boost our immune systems, improve our health and reduce the risk of disease. The book covers fruits and vegetables, seeds and grains, herbs and spices, nuts, seaweeds, mushrooms and more. A wealth of detailed information is provided on why these foods are good for us, as well as how to maximise their benefits and incorporate them easily into our daily meals. Written in Jane's practical and entertaining style, this book isn’t about strict diets or rigid eating rules. It is about eating wholesome, natural food, with no artificial preservatives or additives. Full of fascinating titbits about the history and origins of what we eat, it also covers health aspects such as food sensitivities and the importance of gut bacteria, kitchen and pantry basics, plus useful tips on smoothies, sprouting, juicing, dehydrating, fermenting and healthy cooking. And for those keen to grow their own superfoods, there’s also gardening advice.
Combined, Jane's books have sold more than 50,000 copies.
