I’m excited to share some of our swag bag goodies from IFBC last weekend. We decided to break the prizes up, I’ll be announcing another giveaway next week (think baking) and a few more to follow that. Yay, free stuff!
For my first giveaway, I want to gift one lucky reader with Sur la Table’s Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America’s Farmers. It’s 304 pages of beautiful photography highlighting gorgeous farm-fresh produce and stories from 10 small farms. I’ve had a chance to thumb through the pages, and while I haven’t tried any of the recipes yet, they look delicious and simple enough to replicate.
The recipes are arranged alphabetically by produce — not course — which is helpful in deciding how to cook all the seasonal produce you’re not familiar with. Like, I only have one Kale recipe in my repertoire. With the inspiration from this cookbook, I now know four more possibilities.
I absolutely love the profiles on these American farmers. They make farming so beautiful and almost motivates me to start a garden of my own. Almost. I’m not quite there yet. If you have a CSA (community-supported agriculture) share, this seasonal cookbook will be perfect for your kitchen. Even if you don’t have a CSA or shop at the farmer’s market, the 150 recipes and suggestions are great ways to start (or continue) to eat local.
