—Adam Rapoport, Editor in Chief, Bon Appétit

We’re increasingly interested in eating locally sourced, seasonal foods, in season, when crops really shine. Farmers markets and community supported agriculture (CSAs) are among the best places to find high-quality, diverse, exciting fruits and vegetables, and eating locally and seasonally cultivates appreciation for those who grow our food. Full of practical insights from field to fork, The Farmers Market Cookbook is a celebration of the small farmer’s labor of love, showing off every crop at its best.

With detailed produce descriptions, storage tips and preparation techniques, The Farmers Market Cookbook features over 200 simple and delicious recipes ranging from traditional favorites to innovative creations. The Farmers Market Cookbook will help you engage your powers of creativity, learning, and experimentation – it’s the answer to every locavore’s perennial question … “What do I do with this?”

A book of imaginative and simple recipes for an abundance of vegetables and fruits.
The Boston Globe

Just leafing through will inspire you to head out to your local farmers market and start cooking.

About the Author

Julia Shanks is a chef, serial entrepreneur and certified pilot whose passion for food preparation began when she was 12 years old and determined to bake, grill and steam her way through the complete set of Time-Life Cookbooks. In her later years, she honed her culinary talents working in restaurants around the country, developing a taste for fresh, local and seasonal foods. Today, Julia consults with restaurants, farms and food producers, helping them maximize profits and streamline revenues. In her tiny, urban garden in Cambridge, MA, she harvests vegetables seven months out of the year.

Brett Grohsgal has dedicated himself to delighting tastebuds from New England to California, working as everything from line cook to executive chef, while developing and sharing his appreciation for artisanal, seasonal foods. As his passion for cooking evolved he began growing his own produce, and in 1996 he and his wife established Even' Star Organic Farm. Even’ Star focuses on harvesting crops year-round for restaurants, grocery stores, universities, farmers markets, and the Grohsgals’ own successful CSA, while adhering to the highest standards of responsible environmental stewardship. “Life is too short, and farm life too arduous, to ever grow or eat boring foods.”
