a joy to cook from submitted by unknown on August 17, 2013, 11:36pm This book is a delight in every way -- as beautiful to look at as it is rewarding to cook with. Jennie is a warm and wonderful guide through the bounty of the farmer's market. Her recipe ideas are at once comforting and novel. Whether you like the old, traditional stand-bys or prefer a more adventurous approach, you will find much to enjoy in this book. Her peach pie recipe is nothing short of spectacular, deserving of its first-place award. Her cornmeal cake with fresh corn and raspberries is a revelation, and I have gotten many, many compliments from guests whenever I've served it. The chocolate cake that uses grated beets for depth and moisture is delicious. The dark chocolate bark is a wonderful way to use some of the more exotic fruits and nuts I like to try at our market. So far, our favorite version combines dried pluots, mangos, and walnuts, drizzled with white chocolate.

What I like best about these recipes is Jennie's meticulous and thorough approach to writing recipes. If she suggests a certain method or procedure, you don't have to worry about trying it -- it WILL work. This kind of care ensures that both novice and experienced cooks alike will get outstanding results. Which is why I'm looking forward to many, many more of her cookbooks in the future!

Great recipes! submitted by zoe.dvh on June 23, 2015, 12:58pm These recipes are delicious and they're made from the fresh produce of your local farmer's market!

Delicious recipes submitted by 2025MJW on August 4, 2020, 5:31pm I tried several recipes from this book (and i can definitely see why the peach pie won first place!) None of them are to difficult but many involve ingredients that i don't normally have on hand. Overall a great book for the willing to try new things once in a while!
