Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America’s Farmers

local Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by Americas FarmersWho doesn’t love the amazing flavor of a freshly picked peach or the unmatched sweetness of just-harvested
peas? In Eating Local, cookware mecca Sur La Table and seasoned journalist Janet Fletcher show readers how to use more local, fresh ingredients in their kitchens. The 150 recipes focus on incorporating locally grown ingredients from farms engaged in community supported agriculture (CSA) as well as farmers’ markets. This cookbook is organized alphabetically by main ingredient to help readers figure out what to make with the arugula from their CSA box or the abundance of strawberries at peak season from their local farmers’ market. Eating Local also takes readers on an editorial and photographic journey to ten farms across the country. On these noteworthy farms, hard work and a passion for sustainability yield wholesome products for eating and living locally.
