This is an inspired cookbook. The author, using Berkeley Bowl Market as an inspiration, makes up some very exotic recipes. For the adventurous cook, this is a must-have cookbook.

I was curious to see the recipes in this book and it exceeded my expectation. The recipes are exciting and unsual and help to discover new ways of cooking. Many thanks to Netgalley and Parallax Press

Extravagant and delicious. This books impress me with the original recipes. The author provides a good choice of recipes that can be don through the year.

Wow, this is one fabulous cookbook. It is filled with vivid images of the fresh ingredients, including images from the independent grocery store that inspired this book. It's my dream grocery store! Some recipes seem fancy (mostly due to the exotic ingredients), others are simple, and many are simple but with a fancy flair! One I will be making soon is the Green Garlic Soup with Lemon Cardamom Yogurt- hello! 😊 That won't be the only recipe I try, as I have many bookmarked to try in the future. I love cookbooks filled with pictures, and this one certainly is. If you enjoy fresh produce and a few fun ingredients tossed in from time to time, this is an adventurous cookbook to try!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and Netgalley, for the complimentary copy.
