Local Flavors

Cooking and Eating from America's Farmers Markets
Written by Deborah Madison

First published in hardcover in 2002, Local Flavors was a book ahead of its time. Now, imported food scares and a countrywide infatuation with fresh, local, organic produce has caught up with this groundbreaking cookbook, available for the first time in paperback.

Deborah Madison celebrates the glories of the farmers' markets from Vermont to Hawaii in a richly illustrated collection of seasonal recipes for a profusion of produce grown coast to coast. Her 350 full-flavored recipes and accompanying menus include dishes as diverse as Pea and Spinach Soup with Coconut Milk; Rustic Onion Tart with Walnuts; Risotto with Sorrel; Poached Chicken with Leeks and Salsa Verde; Soy Glazed Sweet Potatoes; and Cherry Apricot Crisp.

"For anyone trying to eat locally and seasonally, Local Flavors is indispensable." - Michael Pollan

"Deborah Madison's Local Flavors is a seductively beautiful and important book." - Alice Walters
