Fresh: Seasonal Recipes Made with Local Ingredients: member book reviews

(1 review)

I'm just getting started with this book, so I'll update this as I get more experience, but I can say off the top that it's a beautiful creation - lovely design, interesting looking recipes that take twists on some old favourites as well as going in new directions, and an appealing organization. It's laid out by season, and emphasizes produce found on the West Coast of North America, specifically the Pacific Northwest.

Recipes from John and Dennis Green are interspersed with little pieces about local farms who produce some of the food found in Bishop's Restaurant, and who inspire many of the recipes.

John Bishop is one of those rare chefs who can not only do amazing things in a kitchen but who can also put together a very credible cookbook for home chefs. His previous books have been reliable and accessible and so far this one is too.
