Fresh from the Farmers Market

I loved this book so much at my neighbor's that she bought it for me, even though it is out of print (Thank You!). Even though I live in New England, and it is written from California, it amazes me how all those unusual vegetables at the farmer's market are in it. I've cooked brussels sprouts with walnut oil, the fried baby turnips and green beans, and a host of other things. There is a lot of Italian influence, and everything's fried in butter. Yummie.

I loved this book. It inspired me to try to go to our local farmer's markets (although they aren't the best in UT) find and try new fruits and vegetables.

Yummy recipes.

I ordered this book, because I spotted it at Whole Foods and wanted to check it out. I should have looked into it more closely, since it is specific to farmers' market crops grown in and around California. This is something I would have liked to have known before purchasing it; I can't buy most of the ingredients at my local farmers' market in Virginia, so it's difficult to use for the most part.

I really like this book. I have a good sized garden and I am always looking for new recipes to use the produce.
