User-friendly. Brilliant recipes for every season, every palate, every kitchen.
Finally, a cookbook about Food! April 15, 2001
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
In an age of year-round produce availability in the Supermarket it is easy to forget both where our food comes from and, more presciently, what really good, fresh food tastes like. The Farmer's Market Cookbook reconnects us with how our food comes to our table and where it comes from, and reminds us that the key to good food does not start with recipes, but from the freshness and quality of the ingredients themselves. Kudos to Ms. Planck for creating recipes that get to the heart of one of the true, great pleasures in life-- eating excellent food simply prepared.
The new farmers' markets are our gateway to delicious meals. April 12, 2001
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is much more than a cookbook. Nina Planck's powerful introductory essay on farmers' markets reminds us of the real source of delicious cooking -- fresh ingredients from local farmers growing flavorful varieties with traditional methods. The bulk of the book is a beautifully composed encylopedia of practical information and simple-to-elegant recipes for the array of produce that is available at the new British farmers' markets. The accompanying color photos by Sarah Cuttle, all taken on producers' farms, at London farmers' markets, and in Nina Planck's kitchen are stunning. Farmers choosing to sell at markets and cooks choosing to buy from them are creating a small, important, and until now unsung revolution.
How to buy and cook with the season by a farm raised chef. April 11, 2001

This wonderfully photographed book by a person raised on a farm and now running farmers' markets perfectly combines information on how to select things at market and how to cook them at home.
Buy first, think later: a cookbook for impatient shoppers April 9, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love cooking but I prefer eating and I don't like recipes. That's why I really love this book. It looks great and has plenty of good suggestions but so do most cookbooks. What seems a bit different about this one is it encourages you to go out and but whatever's fresh (preferably from a farmers' market, but a supermarket would be OK), then take it home and look up how to cook it - rather than going out with a great list of things to buy for the sake of the recipe, which I always find offputting. I haven't had it long so I've only tried a few of the ideas, but so far so good: risotto with oyster mushrooms came out excellent, so did beef fillet with rosemary and mustard crust; also apple, pear and ginger smoothie for breakfast. Really useful for the impatient shopper!
