Yesterday at the Farmer's Market,
I was struck by the sudden change in the offerings. Autumn has overtaken Summer in the produce selection. And even though the temperatures are not co-operating, there is definitely a feel of Fall in the air. Did you see last night's Harvest Moon? Amazing!
The Desketeers have always been all about the food and our latest favorite cookbook is Everyday Food: Great Food Fast From the Kitchens of Martha Stewart Living. This book has many wonderful qualities to recommend it from the color photography of each dish, to the simplicity of ingredients and preparation, but what really does it for a lot of us is the way the book is organized.
Instead of using the classic cook book form of dividing the sections by course, this one uses the four seasons as its organizational tool. This makes the act of cooking seasonally a no-brainer. Who wouldn't want an Arugula, Beet and Goat-Cheese Salad or Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Oven-Baked Polenta this time of year as the days grow short and the nights long?
In fact not only did the Desketeers end up buying for themselves and their loved ones, other library staffers did the same. In the end, 15 copies were purchased total! This is a love bordering on obsession and we invite you to join us!
Bon Appetit!
