THE SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN COOKBOOK Passionate Cooking Inspired by Farms, Forests and Oceans A cookbook with a conscience! featuring a delicious combination of culinary excellence and responsible seasonal cooking. The Sustainable Kitchen brings home the thrill of tasting fine cuisine made from the best seasonal ingredients grown locally. Designed for people who want to make food choices that promote the economic, environmental and social health of their communities, this book gives seasonal cuisine new flair using recipes adapted for exciting home cooking. A talented chef shares his passion for the culinary arts and his regional focus that inspires home cooks everywhere to connect with local farmers and purveyors to obtain the freshest produce available. These connections encourage regional food supplies and a strong local economy, maintain community, foster earth stewardship, and protect the future of family farms. The Sustainable Kitchen focuses strongly on ingredients, offering a chef's insights into how and why to combine several together into a sauce, soup, or rago�t for optimum flavor. The sumptuous recipes are offered as guidelines, the basis for inspiration, but not as absolutes, to allow for local market variations and a dash of spontaneity.
