I absolutely loved this book! I tend to read cookbooks like novels anyway, so this one, with it’s fascinating story of how a farm to be captivated me. Martha’s Vineyard, so I appreciated that aspect as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the author’s personal notes, particularly the reasons why she made each recipe. I felt as though I was sitting down with a grandparent or longtime family friend.

The book itself is beautiful, with mouth watering pictures on thick, glossy pages with print large enough to be easy to read. I welcomed the division into growing seasons. I don’t have a farm, but I do have a deck garden, and I like to make good use of produce as it becomes available. This was very helpful.

Every recipe that I’ve tried has been delicious. I made the Colonel Mustard’s Not-So-Mysterious Greens, Sausage and Tortellini Soup and served it at a mystery dinner. Everyone loved both the soup and the name.

This cookbook is an absolute delight.

A great cookbook choice for a library shelf. The recipes are straight forward, easy to follow, and the photos of them help a lot as well. The book is well laid out and would be a great gift for someone who likes to cook farm to table style food. Thank you for the review copy!

Love fresh meals. I love to support local farmers, so finding a cookbook that lets me cook local without haveing to search all over the internet.

Received this book from NetGalley for review.
The author is a former editor in chief of Fine Cooking magazine who chronicles her transition from corporate world to farm living. This is a wonderful cookbook for those looking to eat healthy and enjoy "off the farm" living. Makes me want to start a garden of my own!
