I am not sure about a fruit book by Steve, but I encourage you to get some more fruits going there. I think I remember you talking about strawberries, and having success with those. Maybe a fruit thread is in order?
As for books, I've been inspired by Eliot Coleman's Four-Season Harvest this winter. Yesterday I harvested leeks, brussel sprouts, celery, potatoes, beets, kale, and believe it or not baby mustard greens. I've still got cabbage in the garden as well. So satisfying to have fresh greens this time of year. His book really inspired me, although a lot of his techniques are for much colder, but sunnier, climates than mine.
For cooking, I've been enjoying Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's "River Cottage Cookbook" and "Meat." They both really appeal to my home grown and foraged sensibilities. The Meat one might not apply to a vegetarian though.
Ianto Evan's "The Hand Sculpted House" and "Rocket Mass Heaters" are both on my coffee table right now, and I'm really inspired by those.
As always, "The Self Sufficient Life and How to LIve It" by John Seymour is fantastic. Seriously, a must have.
I always love reading Louis Broomfield. I found Malabar Farm at a thrift store, and have been inspired ever since. He was so ahead of his time.
