Fresh From the Farmers' Market

Additional Details

Description: From coast to coast, Americans are discovering the allure of farmers' markets and savoring the taste of farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. Shoppers are filling bags with spring asparagus and sweet June peas, snapping up vine-ripe tomatoes and juicy peaches, then looking for ways to put their purchases center stage. 

For inspiration, they can turn to Fresh from the Farmers' Market, a celebration of market bounty in dozens of luscious color photographs and more than seventy-five mouthwatering recipes. Season by season, author Janet Fletcher guides shoppers through the market, sharing tips on selection and storage as well as advice from the farmers themselves. Then, with a fresh and inviting style, she shows how to turn peak- season produce into delicious eating year-round. 

Make the most of the spring harvest with Pappardelle with Asparagus and Fava Beans or Spinach Salad with Roasted Beets and Feta. Turn summer's produce into velvety Roasted Corn Soup, Spaghettini with Red and Gold Cherry Tomatoes, and a Blackberry Macaroon Torte. In autumn, the farmers' market may inspire a Fennel and Prosciutto Gratin, a Sweet Potato and Chestnut Soup, or an Apple and Dried Cherry Crisp. Even winter, in many regions, offers full-flavored produce for dishes such as Baked Leeks with Cream and Tarragon, Braised Red Cabbage with Pears, and Winter Garden Pasta. 

With its simple, seasonal recipes and expert shopping advice, Fresh from the Farmers' Market will delight anyone who appreciates produce at its farm-fresh best.
