One of my favorite projects from Agate this summer is the first-ever cookbook from Chicago’s famed Green City Market, a beloved local fixture that’s earned national renown for how it unites regional farmers, restaurants, and shoppers through their commitment to great sustainable produce. The cookbook seems to be everywhere this week, with terrific features in the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times, and on WTTW and WGN television. Green City is debuting the book at its big annual barbecue fundraiser (featuring no fewer than 100 chefs from around the region) on Thursday, July 17, but this is a book that should be delighting cooks, food lovers, Chicagoans, and others all year round. Green City is a terrific institution, not least for the ways it’s galvanized a remarkable community of diverse customers and vendors, and we’re very proud to have helped create this wonderful new book.
