The Farm to Table Cookbook: The Art of Eating Locally

I've really enjoyed Ivy's Farm to Table Cookbook - I loved to shop at the Farmer's Markets in the San Francisco Bay Area, and since moving to central California, I've joined a farm cooperative. The organization of the book into chapters for each season really helps to bring inspiration to the local produce from the market, and encourages me to try produce that I wouldn't normally cook. I've had this book only a few weeks (and its winter) and already I've made 3 different recipes from the book, all with great success. Tonight I'm making maple glazed turnips and carrots - previously I wouldn't know what to to with turnips. So support your local agriculture, enjoy seasonal produce and enjoy cooking it with the Farm to Table cookbok.

I have seldom just read a cookbook - but I have done so with this one. Lots of interesting background and tips on buying and cooking. Since I am vegetarian, I especially liked the many recipes using local veggies. Great book; I am buying more for gifts.

This is such a wonderful book! My husband and I have attended some of Chef Ivy's cooking classes in the past and her recipes always turn out so well. The book really expresses that same style she has in her classes, with great tips and beautiful recipes. She also does a great job showcasing other local chefs and demystifying ingredients you might find in a farmer's market that you might not have known how to prepare. Love the grilled vegetable gallete and the shortcake recipes, easy and delicious.
