Book Reviews of From Asparagus to Zucchini
Book Review: Great cookbook for Farmer's Market shoppers or CSA Members
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful recipe book, especially for Consumer Supported Agriculture (CSA) members or folks who love to shop seasonally at a Farmer's Market. We belong to a CSA and once those tomatoes (or zucchini or corn, etc. etc.) start rolling in, this is the go-to book to find new and different ways to use all that lovely fresh produce. Organized by vegetable, just flip to whichever vegetable you have before you and you will find information on the best way to store it for the short or long-term, other information, and 10-15 recipes. The recipes often recognize that you may be dealing with bulk amounts and can be expanded as needed. Simple and nutritious information for those of us who enjoy vegetables but may not have had the "farm wisdom" handed down to us.
