Grand Central Life & Style - 2014

This book is only about 1/2 recipes - the rest is a series of spotlights on farmers. As a plant biologist, I appreciate any and all strategies to increase awareness of agriculture and farmers. That said, I do not really want this stuff in my cookbook.

I had a meal that was entirely cooked from this cookbook. it was good - not amazing - but good. However, come summer many more recipes will be doable, and in that season, I think it would be more useful, and a meal produced from the cookbook would be more interesting.

The carrots and the carrot cake (both reviewed here) turned out the be unusual and excellent.
