5.0 out of 5 stars Try the Duck Confit, Gumbo Style!, August 6, 2003
By A Customer
This is just one of the many "out of this world" recipes in this cook book. The fresh ingredients are key, which is why is certainly helps to follow the seasonal recommendations, but for food lovers, and those interested in where our food comes from, this book is magic!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother: Cooking Fresh is not as good as you'd hope., July 14, 2003
By A Customer
I was excited when I saw this book in the Washington Post's Food Section and ordered it immediately but its not very good. Spend your money elsewhere.

Problems include:

1) It's way too preachy. There are many, many, essays that basically have the same themes: eat local produce and meats; small farms are good--large farms are evil; eat organic. Great, BUT if I bought a book about using local products then I probably buy into that already. I need more information less preaching.

2) The real information provided is too little and too disorganized. There are basically 6 pages with what's in season. One page each for Spring,Summer,Fall, and Winter, plus two pages in the back with the seasonal availability of some produce and meats. Very little information on how to get the most out of each season or what to look for when shopping for the best produce or meats.

3) The recipes. Mangos, Coconuts, and Vidalia Onions are not from the mid-atlantic but you'll find recipes in this book that feature these ingredients. Likewise, there may be a regional source for local prosciutto and Gorgonzola, but I think I'll keep buying mine from Italy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cooking Fresh, Yes!, October 13, 2003
By A Customer
Cooking Fresh from the Mid-Atlantic continues the fine tradition
of Cooking Fresh from the Bay Area: fabulous recipes from fine restaurants and lots of info on where to find fresh ingredients.
Fresh food has become so rare, most of us have forgotten what it tastes like--until we are wowed by the genuine article.

I will use the Mid-Atlantic book to find restaurants on my upcoming trip to Washington, D.C.
