Simply in Season: Expanded Edition
This newly-released expanded edition of Simply in Season is chock-full of recipes that use locally grown and seasonal foods, together with stories that reflect on the food we buy and the way we eat—and how it affects our local and global neighbors.

“Simply in Season offers creative and nutritious recipes that will inspire experienced cooks and initiate culinary newcomers alike.”
—Lisa Weasel, author of Food Fray: Inside the Controversy over Genetically Modified Food
“A terrific book for those who wish to cook seasonally using locally grown foods. All the recipes speak directly to the season in which we can buy, or better still, grow them.”
—Anita Stewart, author of Anita Stewart’s Canada: The Food, The Recipes, The Stories
“An essential kitchen companion for all of us who love to get our food from our own backyard, local CSA or farmers market—and always need new ideas. This is a book I will turn to over and over again.”
—Catherine Walthers, author of Raising the Salad Bar
