0

simply-in-season1Local Foods Connection has recently begun a project to provide our clients with new cookbooks in both English and Spanish which include recipes focused on in-season cooking, nutrition and education on different kinds of produce. The first cookbook, Simply in Season (English), is a book divided into color-coded sections by season which provide varied recipes for every meal of the day, including dessert! In Simply in Season, recipes utilize local food products in the same season they are grown to offer a starting point for local, seasonal cooking for chefs of all experiences. The second book, Delicioso y Sano or Delicious and Healthy (Spanish) outlines step-by-step recipes for home-cooked healthy alternatives by outlining various types of food and the right tools with which to prepare them. In Delicioso y Sano, colorful, stylized pages full of photos and cartoons provide information on types of produce and various kitchen utensils and how they can be utilized to create everything from veggie dip to tofu to pizza-truly delicious! These books provide a resource to educate our clients on local foods that are available to them and how to prepare these foods in a variety of simple, creative ways. We recommend both of these cookbooks as great sources of guidance for local-eating. Both can be found on Amazon.com! Simply in Season is also often in stock at the International Gift Shop, which is located in The Crowded Closet on Gilbert Court.
