Organized by season, The Green City Market Cookbook provides eager readers with recipes that make use of fresh fruits and vegetables that come straight from the small regional farms that are the lifeblood of the farm-to-fork movement. Delicious, nutritious, and visually stunning, these recipes present the best that Green City Market has to offer. Alice Waters has called GCM “the best sustainable market in the country,” and now readers can be sure they’re creating the highest quality, most straightforward meals to go with the highest quality ingredients locally sourced produce has to offer.
