Summary of Farmer John's Cookbook: The Real Dirt on Vegetables
Join the real food revolution with a true pioneer in the Community Supported Agriculture movement-Farmer John Peterson and his farm, Angelic Organics. Angelic Organics is a leader in community supported gardening and biodynamics, helping to connect people with their food, their farmers, and healthful living.With exciting recipes grouped by season and by vegetable, The Real Dirt Cookbook provides cooking tips, serving suggestions, and evocative descriptions of each dish, and teaches readers new ways to use a surplus of basil, cabbage, tomatoes, or whatever veggie is plentiful. Find new ways to use a huge variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Also included in the book is an Illustrated Vegetable Identification Guide and tips on long-term vegetable and herb storage and preservation methods (such as freezing, drying, canning, and lactic acid fermentation). Whether you grow your own veggies, spend lingering mornings at the farmer's market, or pluck your produce from shelves at the local supermarket, The Real Dirt Cookbook is an invaluable resource on growing, cooking, and storing real food.
Watch for the DVD release of The Real Dirt on Farmer John, the award-winning feature documentary film by Taggart Siegel, about the dramatic failure of Farmer John's conventional farming operation and its resurrection into a thriving, organic CSA farm! Coming Spring 2006. Visit www.AngelicOrganics.com for more information.
"[Farmer John is] part of a movement that connects to the same movement that Alice Waters has helped lead and facilitate, coming from another part of the system."
-Al Gore, in his introduction of The Real Dirt on Farmer John, San Francisco's Castro Theatre, June 2005
Lifelong farmer John Peterson runs Angelic Organics, one of the largest Community Supported Agriculture farms in the United States.

John makes public presentations about farming to groups and conferences worldwide. He lives in Illinois.
