Oliver said, "Are you planting a garden or container gardens this summer?  Do you have a neighbor or family friend who will shower you with the season’s extras?  If you want more fiber, nutrients and antioxidants in your diet—eat more vegetables! We know it’s tough to expand your vegetable appetite when you don’t know how to cook unfamiliar varieties."
