Eating locally is not only better for the environment, it's better for you. Food consumed closer to its point of origin is more nutritious, because it was picked at the peak of ripeness, and has not lost nutrients during transit.
Sample topics covered in the book:
- What questions to ask at your local farmer's market
- How to tell what's in season
- Simple recipes for preparing freshly harvested produce
- Kitchen tools you need to make cooking easy and fun
