Food and Garden Writing

Editorial Services, LLC

Following a passion

When she’s not in her office, you’re sure to find Jackie Parente in the garden or the kitchen -- tending to her fruits and veggies, preparing them to enjoy now or later. Her popular blog, Raspberries, Rabbits, Rutabagas: ruminations from a suburban locavore offers readers insights from her garden and kitchen ventures -- always with an eye to sustainability.

In her latest full-length book from BowTie Press, Can It!, she blends her love of words with her passion and pleasure in gardening, home food preservation, and sustainable living. The result is a contemporary perspective on the ancient practice of home food preservation. Throughout the book, Parente’s encouraging, can-do attitude helps the neophyte enjoy the rewards of simple, yet delicious success. Those with more experience will appreciate the well-researched background material as well as the more challenging recipes.

Her understanding of things gastronomic and things organic make her well suited for writing on a wide range of food and garden topics.
