About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes.

The Greenmarket Cookbook : Recipes, Tips, and Lore from the World Famous Urban Farmers' Market

By Joel Patraker, Joan Schwartz
Viking Adult - 2000

This book is divided into seasons.
There are great photographs through out this book, of scenes from the farmers
market. There is also a list of farmers markets across the US in the back of
the book. Included are great stories from the farmers, shoppers, chefs, and
celebrities who make Union Square Market a wonderful success. There is lots of
information on the different varieties of produce and fruits available at the
farmers market.
