Editorial Reviews

Review

Lane takes her readers on an adventure towards learning about all types of fruits and vegetables that are found in your local market during the winter months.
--Small Town Living, Dec. 5, 2010

The new, updated version of the book, released by New Society for the book's twentieth anniversary, is even more wonderful, and more timely than the original. --Sharon Astyk, scienceblogs.com

Her recipes are extremely flexible and flow into each other to make "available" into "delicious." --Jennifer Gagel, eatdrink.ca

It's easy to cook locally at the peak of harvest, but what about winter? This cookbook helps you eat locally using winter vegetables in the most difficult of seasons. --Top 10 Lifestyle Books of the Year, Vancouver Sun --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Winter Harvest Cookbook: How to Select and Prepare Fresh Seasonal Produce All Winter Long (Paperback)

My highest accolades go to cookbooks that make me want to run into the kitchen and cook before I have even finished reading them. This book is one of the best examples of that inspiration! The recipes are homey, yet sophisticated, using common ingredients as well as more exotic ones such as celeriac and gobi (burdock). The barley and hazelnut pilaf that accomapnies roast beef is superb! Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Then pull it out each November and fall in love with the recipes all over again!

This review is from: Winter Harvest Cookbook: How to Select and Prepare Fresh Seasonal Produce All Winter Long (Paperback)

I just received the book in the mail and haven't tried out any recipes just yet, but I'm incredibly excited by the amazing recipes. I love how there is an index of all the winter veggies that gives you a brief history of the food and how to use it. Some I'd never heard of before! Taking a look at the recipes, all seem simple (just the veggies and maybe butter/oil and spices) and highlight the nutritiousness of each vegetable. I can't wait to get going!
