Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America's Farmers' Markets - Hardcover

This one is more than a cookbook, though--it's a passionate celebration of the joys of buying and cooking fresh, seasonal food from the farmers' markets she has visited across the country. She makes following the seasons irresistible. If you've thought about eating seasonally but don't know how, run out and get this book. You need it."
