This review is from: EatingWell in Season: The Farmers' Market Cookbook (EatingWell) (Hardcover)

I feel inclined to write this review because I found this book absolutely fascinating.

The opening of the book does a very good job of explain why you should listen to its advice. The authors give plenty of useful tid bits that have come in very handy not only in the farmers market but also in the produce section in the supermarket.

The included recipes are well sized and appropriately portioned. They are healthy without tasting like health food. The pictures are gorgeous and I have wanted to try every recipe that has one. The recipes are a great way to experience new ingredients that you can only find in a good farmers market.

In my humble opinion this book is worth the purchase price if you only read the first chapters about the benefits (and hype) of local and organic produce. My wife and I purchased the Eating Well for two along with this one and we are considering buying more from this series because we love every dish we have tried so far.

I hope this helps,
Happy Shopping

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing!, May 21, 2009

This review is from: EatingWell in Season: The Farmers' Market Cookbook (EatingWell) (Hardcover)

I bought this cookbook because of my past good experiences with Eating Well's other cookbooks. But, this one doesn't come close. The recipes are too long, and treat the beautiful seasonal foods with a complexity that spoils the notion of "don't mess with Mother Nature". Eating Well has had a real knack for presenting fresh, healthy food, in an accessible and innovative way. This newest cookbook has strayed from simplicity, into the upper stratosphere of the chef who wants to impress. Stick with their previous cookbooks - they will not remain on the shelf, like this one is destined to.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to cut preservatives and eat natural real food. I agree with a previous review that the recipes are not quick and some do require a lot of ingredients but they are worth it. This book goes way beyond a regular cookbook to provide a ton of reference information about fruits and vegetables, when they are in season, how to store them, how to preserve them, etc. Love this book and would recommend!
