Local Flavors, Cooking and
Eating from America's Farmers' Markets
You'll be hard pressed to find a cookbook that makes more sense than this loving
tribute to farmers' markets. Whereas most cookbooks are organized by type of
recipe, this book revolves around the ingredients and when they are in season.
In this way it is possible to plan the freshest, possible seasonal menu. With
her focus on ingredients, author Deborah Madison imbues produce with a
personality. Anecdotes about her personal experiences are both fascinating to
read, as well as instructive for anyone planning a trip to a farmer's
market. Healthy eating has never been as
appealing as it looks after reading this gorgeous book. These recipes will
make you want to head out immediately to your closest farm stand. | |
