Book Reviews of Simply In Season (World Community Cookbook)
Book Review: Getting in touch with the seasons....
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoy the idea of cooking with the seasons. This is a wonderful book spotlighting foods available throughout the four seasons, as well as a section on year round foods. The layout is attractive and colorful, and it is a pleasure to thumb through.
Most of the vegetables found here are ones that are commonly available, either by those who garden or those who might visit farmer's markets or co-ops. In fact, I would specifically recommend it for those people, although individuals who buy at the grocery store can take advantage of seasonal lower prices as well.
I like the fact that there are multiple recipes for prolific veggies (such as summer squash, that you might have an abundance of...one can never have too many recipes using zucchini or squash).
Like the other cookbooks in this series, there are articles and commentary sprinkled throughout encouraging family, sharing, and community. Although some may be put off by its Christian slant, I am not, as it is presented in more of a universal manner.
Most all of the recipes I have tried have been really delicious and different, and several have become regular additions to our menu. Healthy eating is encouraged, but you will still find sugar and white flour in moderation. Moderation is the key! Another reviewer complained about the use of dairy and wheat. Yes, there is dairy and wheat. There is also meat. This is not a gluten/casein free cookbook, nor is it a vegetarian cookbook. It is not reliant on fads but rather a healthy lifestyle which has varying shades.
It gives me a good feeling whenever I use it, which is always a nice thing in a cookbook. It stimulates your creativity, gives you options and lets you play with variations on a theme, which is the beauty of the books in this series. I have most of them.
I am curious to see the expanded version of this book, which is coming out this summer and supposedly has more recipes.
All in all, I highly recommend!
Summary of Simply In Season (World Community Cookbook)
Not so long ago most fresh food on North American tables came from home gardens and local farmers markets. Today, the average item of food travels more than a thousand miles before it lands on our tables. It's a remarkable technological accomplishment, but has not proven to be healthy for our communities, our land or us.Through stories and simple "whole foods" recipes, Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert explore how the food we put on our tables impacts our local and global neighbors. They show the importance of eating local, seasonal food-and fairly traded food-and invite readers to make choices that offer security and health for our communities, for the land, for body and spirit.
Simply in Season offers a starting point encouraging you to feed both your body and spirit with nutritious food and challenging ideas about the world around you. Woven throughout the recipe pages of each season are writings, tidbits of information to reflect upon while the onions saute, the soup boils, or the bread bakes.
