The Little Illustrated Guide to Montreal Melons - The Urban Nutritionist

Description
Did you know that a fabulous melon was once cultivated in Montreal? Texts more than a century old tell the story of the Montreal melon, a fruit with such exceptional flavor that the best restaurants and hotels in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia were fighting over it.
Yet, few people today are familiar with this fruit that contributed to Montreal's international renown. Despite its reputation, the melon disappeared overnight, leaving no trace.
That was until a few stray seeds were found in 1996. From these, Quebec seed producers managed to revive this old-fashioned variety.
In this book, nutritionist Bernard Lavallée tells the most comprehensive story yet about the Montreal melon, including information never before revealed! He also shares all the information you need to grow it yourself in the ground or in a pot. With this book, the author hopes that this legendary fruit will not fall into oblivion and that everyone will have the chance to taste a slice of Quebec's food heritage.
