This new, expanded edition of Simply in Season features new recipes that use locally grown and fairly traded seasonal foods. Its stories and simple whole foods recipes explore how the food we buy and eat also affects our local and global neighbors.

"In this era of the 'locavore,' Simply in Season offers creative and nutritious recipes that will inspire experienced cooks and initiate culinary newcomers alike."
—Lisa Weasel, author of Food Fray: Inside the Controversy over Genetically Modified Food

"I love this cookbook. It not only contains a diverse variety of recipes, but it is chock-full of information about using fresh, local, and seasonal foods. Highly recommended."
—B. Smith, lifestyle expert, cookbook author and entrepreneur

"This underground bestseller deserves mainstream attention. It's a terrific book for those who wish to cook seasonally using locally grown foods. Most other cookbooks tend to assume you can get corn year round. In this one, it's a summer crop. All the recipes speak directly to the season in which we can buy, or better still, grow them."
—Anita Stewart, author of Anita Stewart's Canada: The Food, The Recipes, The Stories

"An essential kitchen companion for all of us who love to get our food from our own backyard, local CSA or farmers market - and always need new ideas. This is a book I will turn to over and over again. They've put the recipes in the most organized, easy-to-use cookbook I've seen."
—Catherine Walthers, author of Raising the Salad Bar and Greens, Glorious Greens

"A charmer.

Open your fridge: chances are extremely high that there’s at least a tomato in there. What do you know about this piece of fruit (yes, a tomato is still a fruit)?

• "Was it raised on a huge factory farm?
• "Was it dosed with pesticides, raised on industrial fertilizer?
• "Was it genetically engineered (GE)?
• "Was it picked hard and green, then trucked 1000 miles to your supermarket, there gassed with a hormone to bring out its 'ripeness'?

"If you don’t know the answer to these questions, or if it is a 'yes', then Simply in Season, Recipes that celebrate fresh, local foods in the spirit of More-with-Less, is the cookbook for you.

"Yes, it that promotes healthy, fresh and local eating, and the main ingredients are veggies, fruits and herbs. There are some meat and carbs recipes, but no canned or processed foodstuffs.

"But the thing is: this book doesn’t preach. Instead, it charms with:

• "practical information
• "pictures that make your mouth water (and the food in them isn’t even cooked yet)
• "recipes (of course) that make your mouth water
• "brief, amiable, but profound messages from real people who grow, cook, and ponder food.

"If the answer to the tomato-quiz is each time No, and if your tomato is actually stored on the countertop (where it belongs), then Simply in Season is also your kind of book. For all the above reasons, and because it will confirm what you know, in your gut, to be true, that eating 'that does not depend on ignorance-is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world' (Wendell Berry)."
