Fresh from the Farmers' Market: Year-Round Recipes for the Pick of the Crop by Victoria Pearson, Janet Fletcher, Alice Waters

tipsytarsier's review

2.0

This is an extremely California-centric cookbook. A lot of these items will never ever show up in farmers' markets elsewhere in the US, and the seasons that veggies are grouped in have everything to do with CA seasons. I couldn't believe how little emphasis there was on cooking greens. The recipes themselves looked ok (although they were very fruit-centric), but mostly they seemed basic and not original. A lot of them looked like what I throw together when I see what the CSA gave me and see what else I have in the house - no recipe needed.
