Cooking in the Moment: A Year of Seasonal Recipes - Andrea Reusing (2011)
Andrea Reusing is an award-winning chef and leader in sustainable living. Focusing on one meal at a time and using only ingredients that are in season or locally grown is something that most of us don't think about. Reusing chronicles one year of cooking through each season - corn in the summer, asparagus in the fall and sweet potatoes in the winter - to name a few of her bountiful ingredients. Each of her recipes are appealing without being too hard for the beginner cook to handle. Each chapter is punctuated with photos and stories from Reusing's childhood, which gives the book a home style feel that serves it well. We should all be cooking in the moment and who better to teach us than someone who has been practising this style of living and cooking for years. This book should become a staple on your bookshelf and its wonderful recipes are too good not to be shared with family and friends. (AS)
